Gavronski & Green Score TKO
Victories To Highlight Incredible Battle At The Boat 101
Continuing their trend of putting on incredible fights each
and every time, the Battle at the Boat series hosted their
101st event live from the Emerald Queen Casino on Saturday,
May 30th . A packed house inside the I-5 showroom was
treated to what is sure to be one of the most talked about
fight cards of the year.
In the main event of the evening, Tacoma’s own Mike “Imagine
Me” Gavronski (18-1-1) took on Tyrell “Hollywood” Hendrix
(11-7-2) in a rematch of their classic 2011 draw which was
televised on ESPN’s Friday Night Fights. The disdain between
the two men was obvious, even leading to an intense scuffle
at the previous day’s weigh-ins. The two traded haymakers
early on, with neither man able to gain the advantage.
However, the always-dangerous Gavronski was able to find his
groove in the later rounds, sending Hendrix to the canvas in
the ninth. When his opponent was unable to recover before
the referee’s 10-count, the hometown crowd went crazy,
celebrating their hometown heroes TKO victory.
The co-main event was a short one, with Vancouver native
Virgil “Black Mamba” Green (11-4) knocking out Marcelino
Pineda (5-1) just one minute into the very first round. A
brutal hook from Green sent his opponent to the canvas
ending the fight.
In what turned out to be one of the more intriguing bouts of
the evening, undefeated Ray “Lightning Jr” Lampkin (8-0--, 2
KOs) took on Yakima’ Andres Reyes (3-1) in a 5 round
featured bout. The overly confident Lampkin landed quick
flurries and stayed busy throughout the fight. Despite the
difference in professional experience, Reyes was undaunted,
answering his opponent punch for punch. In the end, Lampkin
remained undefeated with a majority decision victory.
Three incredible undercard contests highlighted this
incredible night of fights. Those results are as follows:
Jason Davis (13-10-2, 4 KOs) def. Daryl Gardner (2-6-1, 2
KOs) via 2nd round KO
Sean Gee (2-0) def. Antonio Neal (3-2, 3 KOs) via Majority
Decision (40-36; 40-36; 38-38)
Guillermo Maldonado (1-0) def. Bobby McIntyre (0-1) via
Unanimous Decision (40-36; 39-37; 39-37)
Next up from Halquist Productions, Super Fight League 41,
