Eleazar Evan Holyfield vs. Agustín Hermas Cicero Ruíz & Travis Mazac Gambardella vs. Eddie Gates RBR

Ryan Clark vs. Robert Bricks, 4 rounds @ light middleweight

 

Another brief war, lots of violent inside dirty boxing in this one, journeyman Bricks (record of zero and six) initially hurt the debuting Clark in the first minute but would eventually be ground down and flurried upon in a corner defenseless until the ref waved it off.

TKO1!!

 

Gabriel A. Morales vs. Kameron Joseph Arnold, 4 rounds @ light welterweight

 

Both are making their professional debuts, and both brought vocal cheering sections.

"Killa Kam" is another guy that apparently dabbled in amateur MMA before switching sports before turning pro. The commentator says that his striking is actually pretty good for a MMA convert.

 

Well, his stand-up wasn't that good as he got lit up with a bunch of hard straight rights culminating in being knocked across the ring KTFO at just under a minute!

 

Scary scene, Arnold down for a couple of minutes motionless.

Gabe Morales hesitating to celebrate the victory until seeing what's up, rightfully.

 

Arnold up and out on his own, cool.

No sooner do they clear the ring than the next bout's walks start. Jesus, they really keep it moving. This has been by far the longest delay between fights yet.

 

Kevin Walsh vs. Michael J. Taylor, 4 rounds @ lightweight

 

"King" Kevin Walsh, 1-0, drops "Titan" Taylor (0-1) hard in the opening moments. Goddamn they must be bucking for the New Hampshire record for first round stoppages.

edit: yep, yet another - they start slugging a minute later and Taylor is buzzed again, and done, Walsh wins! Time of 2:12 ...this card is FLYING by.

 

Probably the most viciously effective and compact & powerful combos of the night thrown by Walsh there. Just uppercuts and straights fired without interruption and with bad intentions.

 

Bout eight of eleven:

Alejandro Paulino vs. Carlos Galindo Guerra, 4 rounds @ junior welterweight

 

Massive, loud body shots from Paulino, finishing the 40yo Peruvian in short order and improving to 3-0 (3), all victories in the 1st round.

Beginnings of another streak in the vein of Tyrone Brunson, Ali Raymi, and Edgar Berlanga, perhaps?

Of course let's see him in with a live body first.

 

Travis Mazac Gambardella vs. Eddie Gates, 6 rounds @ middleweight

 

There's a delay on ringwalks because they can't find the CD with Gambardella's entrance theme on it.
