Two-time super middleweight title challenger Jesse “Hard Work” Hart (27-3, 21 KOs) took a workmanlike eight round unanimous decision over 40-year-old journeyman Mike Guy (12-7-1, 5 KOs) on Friday night at the 2300 Arena in Philadelphia. It seemed like Hart could have got a stoppage with more aggression, but he was content to get a 80-72, 79-73, 79-73 win. Jesse will return November 27.
Junior welterweight Samuel Teah (18-4-1, 8 KOs) needed just 44 seconds to demolish Larry Fryers (11-5, 4 KOs). Teah dropped Fryers and got him out of there with his follow-up barrage.
Lightweight Jabril Noble (2-0, 2 KOs) won by fourth round TKO over David Boria (0-3). Referee’s stoppage at :24.
Middleweight Brendan O’Callaghan (2-0, 1 KO) scored a four round unanimous decision over pro debuting Davon Hall (0-1). Scores were 40-35 3x. Hall down in round four.
Welterweight Isaiah Johnson (2-0, 2 KOs) scored a third round TKO over Leonidas Fowlkes (2-4, 0 KOs). Johnson upped his pressure and got a referee’s stoppage. Time was 2:15.
Unbeaten super bantamweight Romuel Cruz (6-0-1, 2 KOs) outpointed Roberto Pucheta (10-20-2, 6 KOs) over six rounds. Scores were 58-56 3x.
Bantamweight Jerrod Miner (2-12-2, 1 KO) won a four round majority decision over pro debuting Josh Arrons. Scores were 28-28, 39-27, 40-36. Miner snapped an eleven fight losing streak.
Hart has always been overrated. Other than Floyd, boxing sons rarely surpass their boxer fathers.
