Last night at the Mountaineer Racetrack in Chester, West Virginia, Edner Cherry annexed the vacant NABF Lightweight title with a dramatic twelfth round stoppage of Daniel Alicea.
Cherry, 21-4-2 (10), had been pitching a shutout for the previous eleven frames, painting the slower Alicea with leather brushstrokes despite injuring a hand in the process. In the final round the Bahamian boxer nailed Alicea, 30-6-2 (22), with a spearing right at which point referee Dave Johnson stepped in to halt the action at 1:50 of the twelfth.
Also scoring victories were heavyweight Brian Minto, lightweight Monty Meza Clay and light welter Justo Sencion.
