Heavyweight Joey Dawejko (25-10-4, 14 KOs) scored a first round stoppage against Dennis Vance Jr (4-10, 2 KOs) on Saturday night at Bally’s Atlantic City.
In the main event, junior welterweight Larry Fryers (13-6-1, 5 KOs) surprised Dimash Niyazov (14-2-3, 6 KOs), taking a six round technical decision by scores of 59-55 3x. The bout ended prematurely when Niyazov was injured after falling out of the ring. Two straight upset wins for Fryers.
Dawejko has now won four in a row. Fryers, rebounding from a very tough schedule of opponents, has won his last two fights over guys with record of 9-2 and 14-1-3. It simply shows how meaningless records are in today’s boxing.
– These bouts had zero promotion.
– There was a blurb on FightNews the day before the fights.
– Someone isn’t doing their job promoting.
– I am local to ACNJ and may have attended, but no notice……..
“Heavyweight Joey Dawejko (25-10-4, 14 KOs) scored a first round stoppage against Dennis Vance Jr (4-10, 2 KOs)”……This is just plain stupid!….Why was this fight even sanctioned?! The last time he fought someone with a decent record (Stephan Shaw 15-0, he lost by TKO) back in Jan 2022
What a brilliantly matched fight for Joey Dawejko.
Nice to see his matchmaker Renee Aiken really testing this world championship caliber fighter. I did not watch this, but hopefully he gets a top 15 ranking from this monumental victory.
Everyone, this person is being sarcastic. Ignore him, her, or it.
excuse me, but who is you to say I am being sarcastic?
Please take a remedial English class. Your grammar is atrocious.
Oh pardon me, I did not know this was an English class. But really, that body shot Joey put this bum down with in the very first 1 was just as bogus as this promotion.
Wow! Will Joey get a title shot now?
The sarcastic comments about Joey Dawejko belong in the trash can, perhaps with the people uttering them. I’m not sure there’s another heavyweight on the planet who has taken more risks than Dawejko, fighting the best despite a decided disadvantage as an undersized heavyweight at 5-foot-10. His list of opponents include: Big Baby Miller, Charles Martin, Amir Mansour, Bryant Jennings, Derric Rossy, Andrey Fedesov, Sergey Kuzmin, Stephan Shawe and Zhan Kussobutskiy. Other than the fights with Mansour and Jennings, his big fights have come out of town, a couple overseas. So he gets an easy fight? Sue him! If he had the schedule of ducks that most top contenders have today, his record would be much prettier. Joey likes to fight and many of his biggest opportunities came up on two weeks’ notice, some when he wasn’t even training (Charles Martin). We need more guys with Joey’s attitude and fewer so-called experts taking shots at a guy with old-school mentality.
Charles Martin, Amir Mansour, Bryant Jennings, Derric Rossy, Andrey Fedesov, Sergey Kuzmin….
Where are any of these guys now?
yes we get it, he fights bums and loses.
