Big Apple Boxing Results
Last night at Resorts World Casino NYC, promoter/rapper
Curtis "50 Cent" Jackson's SMS Promotions closed its 2013
season in grand style with the presentation of "Big Apple
Boxing," in which five of six fights ended in knockouts.
In the main event, Amir "Young Master" Imam (12-0, 11 KOs)
knocked out Mexican invader Sergio "Sirenito" Perez (28-16,
19 KOs) only 52-seconds into the opening round to capture
the vacant North American Boxing Federation (NABF) junior
welterweight title. Perez had been stopped only twice in 43
previous professional fights.
Hot lightweight prospect Joel Diaz, Jr. improved to 14-0 (12
KOs), putting Tony "Sugar Boy" Walker (5-4-1, 3 KOs) to
sleep at 2:27 of the first round in the co-feature.
Three fighters promoted by 50 Cent registered impressive
victories. Puerto Rican welterweight Emmanuel "Pirata"
DeJesus (9-0, 6 KOs) cruised to a win by fourth-round
technical knockout over Antonio Chaves-Fernandez.
Lightweight Ryan "Blue-Chip" Martin (2-0, 2 KOs), a 12-time
national amateur champion, lived up to his nickname by
destroying Eric Jamal Goodall (1-3) with a first-round
knockout at the 1:22 mark. Welterweight Donte Strayhorn
(4-1) notched his first knockout as a pro, dropping Sam
Moura en route to a fourth-round technical knockout.
Connecticut bantamweight Nate "The Great One" Green (5-0)
overcame a first-round knockdown to upset Thomas "KO" Snow
(16-2, 10 KOs). Green came back to deck Snow in the fourth
and sixth rounds to win a unanimous six-round decision by
identical scores of 57-54.
