Unbeaten junior middleweight Justin “Time“ Figueroa (6-0, 5 KOs) pounded out a six round unanimous decision over Jeff “Relentless” Lentz (5-2, 1 KO). Scores were 58-56, 59-55, 59-55.
Super middleweight Nadim Salloum (11-1, 4 KOs) stopped Antonio Ocles (12-13, 3 KOs) in round two.
Gotta be special to come back after 5 plus years out. Time for Witt hang em up I think
– I was at this event in Boardwalk Hall in AC NJ……
How much money do we think Lamanna has paid to get ranked in the top 5 by the WBA? And what the hell is a WBA Fedelatin title? Maybe they should call it the Fellatin’ Title.
I will give credit to Lamanna for fighting a great fight against Brian Mendoza during the pandemic. Arguably deserved the win.
