Mykal Fox Continues
Winning Ways
With Shutout Over Bernardo In Bethlehem |
|
WBA number-15 ranked junior
welterweight contender Mykal Fox kept on the path
towards a major fight with a 10-round unanimous decision
over Eudy Bernardo in the main event of an exciting
nine-bout card at The Wind Creek Event Center in
Bethlehem, Pa.
Fox of Forestville, Maryland used his height and reach
to start off the bout by keeping Bernardo at the end of
his punches. As each round progressed, Fox moved closer
and started landing solid four and five punch
combinations that eventually started to make the
normally forward charging Bernardo moving backwards
towards the corner and ropes. Fox showed his class and
superior skills that has him now being mentioned for
deserved opportunities against the bigger names in the
junior welterweight division, as he won by shutout
tallies of 100-90 on all cards.

Hindsight Is 20/20 |
|
By William Trillo
The overwhelming mantra of the media in attendance in
Carson, California Saturday night which included yours
truly went as follows, and I quote, “I wish I would have
gone to Las Vegas.”
The reason was simple. The entire card in Carson
basically fell apart at the seams days before the
scheduled event. The fights that were salvaged were far
from stellar. In the meantime the “Sin City” card was
full of thrills and spills o’plenty.
