Light Middleweight Verno Phillips kept the fire burning on his dreams to once again capture a world title by stopping a very tough Teddy Reid last night on a Banner Promotion at the Foxwoods Casino in Connecticut. Early on it was Reid trying to force Phillips into a brawl, bullying the shorter man into the ropes but ex-IBF/WBO World Champion stayed cool and began measuring his rival, connecting with a high percentage of his counter shots. By the sixth it was all out war with Phillips dialing in on his opponent's roundhouse efforts and punching inside those wide, wild punches of Reid. By the ninth Phillips had succeeded in canvassing Reid with a spearing boy shot and the Baltimore man lost a point by spitting out his mouthpiece in a bid for a longer rest period. In the twelfth and final frame Phillips had Reid in dire straits along the ropes, forcing referee Gary Rosato to call a halt to the increasingly one sided affair at 2:04 of the round. With the win Verno Phillips moves closer to another title shot and improves to 40-10-1 (21) while Teddy Reid drops to 23-8-2 (17).
