Tsendy
Erdenebat Wins Clear-Cut
Unanimous Decision Over Cobia Breed
Undefeated Olympic southpaw Tsendbaatar “Chinggis Khaan”
Erdenebat (15-0, 6 KOs) of Mongolia, continued to establish
himself as a top 130-lb. fighter, and picked up the US WBC
Silver Super Featherweight Championship, by taking a
dominant 10-round unanimous decision over Cobia “Soldier”
Breedy (18-2, 8 KOs) of nearby Largo, Maryland, via the
Bahamas.
Fighting in the 10-round super featherweight main event at
Live! Casino Hotel Maryland in Hanover, Maryland, and
presented by ProBox Promotions and NoXcuse Promotions,
Erdenebat had too many weapons for the brave, but outgunned
Breedy.
Erdenebat clearly captured the first four rounds,
After enjoying a potentially stronger round five, Breedy was
dropped with a right hook/left hook combination to erase his
good work.
Breedy showed grit and good conditioning by attempting to
come on strong against his more skilful opponent in the
later rounds, but Erdenebat had too many elite tools to be
denied.
The scores were 100-89, 100-89, and 99-90.
In the 10-round super featherweight co-feature, “The
Franchise” Francois Scarboro Jr. (14-0, 9 KOs) of Cheverly,
Maryland, won a fan-friendly unanimous decision over
Managua, Nicaragua’s Maxwel Montes (13-5-1, 7 KOs).
After three strong rounds by Scarboro to open the fight,
Montes hurt his foe with a left-hand body shot in round
four.
But, in his typical fashion, Scarboro hit turbo on the
engine and came back with his own heavy artillery to finish
the session.
The quicker Scarboro came back to dominate round five with
sharp jabs and clubbing right hands to the head.
Back-and-forth war broke out in round six with both men
having their moments. Scarboro established the jab early,
but Montes finished strongly by stunning his man in his own
corner with a body shot and then a series of right hands.
A throwback to 80s greats such as Matthew Saad Muhammad and
Frank “The Animal” Fletcher, Scarboro is an entertainer
first, foregoing his athletic gifts to make his fights
dramatic at all costs. The result is a sold-out show with
plenty of nail biting for his legion of fans.
Scarboro stepped on the gas to punctuate his victory in the
final rounds, winning by scores of 99-91, 98-92 and 98-92.
In the night’s chief supporting bout, 21-year-old
Washington, DC-based welterweight David “The Bodysnatcher”
Whitmire (12-0, 8 KOs) introduced himself to world contender
status by dominating proven contender and Albuquerque
veteran Jose Luis “El Guero” Sanchez (14-7-2, 4 KOs) via
flawless eight-round unanimous decision.
Whitmire rocked Sanchez with a sweeping right hand to the
chin in round two, badly wobbling the New Mexican tough guy
for most of the round’s three-minutes. The ringside
physician even took a look at Sanchez before the start of
round three.
In a masterful performance, Whitmire also cut Sanchez over
the left eye in round four and went on to impressively
dominate by scores of 77-75, 79-73 and 80-72.
Whitmire is going to be a problem.
Super lightweight Charles “LOLO” Harris Jr. (12-1, 7 KOs) of
San Bernardino, California, won a six-round unanimous
decision over St. Charles, Illinois’ Blake Fialka (2-3-1, 1
KO).
The pair appeared to trade rounds to open the contest, with
the awkward Fialka having a good opener and Harris righting
the ship in round two. Harris, who was returning to the ring
from a 14-month layoff, snapped back into form in round
three and took over for the rest of the fight by digging to
the body and slowing the rugged Fialka down.
Fialka never stopped coming forward and trying, but the more
skilled Harris won by scores of 60-54 from all three judges.
Upper Marlboro, Maryland super flyweight prospect Jordan
“The Iceman” Roach (8-0, 3 KOs) put in some impressive work
during a quick demolition of Antonio “La Pulga” Matamoros
(2-2). Matamoros was down twice from extended salvos
upstairs and down, the second knockdown convinced Referee
Dave Braslow to wave it off at 1:55.
Former five-time national amateur champion “Razor” Ramon
Ordonez (1-0, 1 KO) made a successful pro debut by knocking
out “El Lobo” Carlos Davila Villalobos (1-2) with a mean
left hand to the liver at 2:20 of the first round. The
southpaw Ordonez, a brand-new ProBox Promotions signee from
Newark, New Jersey, showed his pedigree with a quick and
clinical dismantling of his Mexican opponent.
