This past Friday night a capacity crowd at Harrah’s in Chester, PA a saw a memorable night of boxing as it was a night filled with thrilling action with four big upsets topping the bill.
The card was promoted by Joey Eye Boxing along with David Feldman.
In the main event, Bryne Green squeaked out a razor thin split decision over Ryan Belasco. The difference on the score cards was a flash knockdown that Green scored in round five. Belasco boxed well and Green landed some quick combinations.
When the scores were announced at the end of the eight round bout, many in the crowd booed as they thought that despite the knockdown Belasco had pulled it out.
In the co-feature, it was much of the same as the main event as Georgi Kevlishvilli made his American debut as he took a controversial split decision from Anthony Flores. Flores used the jab to keep the hard charging Kevlishvilli at bay but the Russian continued to move forward and evidentially stole rounds by trying to dictate the action.
Again many at ringside were bewildered by the outcome. After the show, promoter Joey Eye agreed with the consensus ringside opinions.
“The two main fights were defiantly controversial and we would want to see rematches on those fights. I thought Flores defiantly pulled it out and we will be working to secure a rematch for Anthony.”
“But a night like this just goes to show that we aren’t just blowing smoke when we told everyone we want good competitive fights where before the fight you don’t know who will win. Tonight we saw that as everybody came to win and we look forward to another night like this when we have ROUND 3 on June 3rd”
