Highly touted Chicago boxing prospects Tavoris Cloud, Francisco Rodriguez and Victor Polyakov put on outstanding performances at the last 8 Count Productions event, "December Fury" on December 14 at Cicero Stadium. Fight fans can now view their bouts in their entirety on YouTube.com. All three bouts can be viewed here: 8 Count Productions Fight Streams.

Cloud, currently the best light heavyweight prospect in boxing, ran his record to 17-0 with 16 knockouts by stopping Jake Rodriguez, who refused to come out for the third round.

Cloud stunned the crafty veteran from Philadelphia over the two rounds displaying his full arsenal of punches to the head and body which had the crowd on their feet roaring with approval.

Fast rising bantamweight prospect Francisco “El Nino Azteca” Rodriguez improved his record to 11-1 (7KO’s) with a dominant performance over Robert DaLuz, taking an eight round unanimous decision by scores of 80-71 (twice) and 78-73.

The always improving Rodriguez, displaying an array of skills including terrific counter punching and defense, won his fourth in a row in front of the packed house crowd at Cicero Stadium.

Rounding out the list of 8 Count fighters, middleweight Victor “The Ukrainian Tiger” Polyakov started off the evening with a brutal first round stoppage over Brad Hill to raise his record to 7-0 with six knockouts.

The heavy handed 2004 Ukranian Olympian, now based in Chicago, continues to make a name as a middleweight prospect to watch.

Said Dominic Pesoli, President of 8 Count Productions, “Tavoris, Francisco and Victor put on outstanding performances last month and we’re thrilled to share these bouts with boxing fans across the globe through YouTube.

We firmly believe that all three prospects have very bright futures and look forward to a terrific 2008 for each of them.”

The next 8 Count Productions event, "The Month Of The Kings" takes place on Friday, January 25 at Cicero Stadium. Tickets are available in advance by calling the 8 Count Productions offices at 312-226-5800.

Cicero Stadium is located at 1909 S. Laramie, just minutes from the Eisenhower and Stevenson Expressways. Doors for this event will open at 5:30pm with the first bell at 6:30pm.
