In New York City, DiBella Entertainment and co-sponsor HBO Sports presented the latest installment of Broadway Boxing at the B.B. King Blues Club on 42nd Street. Former junior welterweight champions Randall Bailey and DeMarcus Corley advanced to the main event when the scheduled bout between Edgar Santana and Luis Rodriguez never took place.

Spanish Harlem junior welterweight Santana, indicted on cocaine charges in July, continues to have problems. This time he had no opponent because Rodriguez had visa problems and could not be admitted into the country at Kennedy Airport. This past July, Santana spent five days in jail and lost the opportunity for an ESPN fight against Ali Oubaali. Santana has pled not guilty to the felony drug charges but has not yet gone to trial.

Originally scheduled for ten but scaled back to eight rounds, Bailey avenged a previous loss to Corley by immediately taking the fight to him and staying on the attack. Bailey, out of Miami, Florida, now 38-6 (34) dealt Corley, out of Washington, D.C., now 31-10-1 (17), his ninth loss in his last twelve fights since beating Bailey to retain the WBO Junior Welterweight Title in 2003.

Bailey “The Knockout King” showed “Chop-Chop” Corley nonstop power punches, coming forward with combinations to the head and body and leaving Corley backing up. For his part, Corley kept the bout competitive by remaining frisky and hard to hit. A perfect right hand lead from Bailey put Corley on the seat of his pants in round three, and Corley took the count to eight on one knee.

Bailey also staggered Corley with a right in the fourth. Corley then resorted to grabbing the rest of the bout wherever possible, frustrating Bailey with frequent headlocks and getting tangled up backwards in holding positions.

Midway through the final round, Corley landed his best shot of the night, a vicious intentional head butt that allowed him to perhaps ‘steal’ his only round when no timeout was called. Corley then threw everything he had left in an attempt to take Bailey out, but Bailey survived. Bailey was relaxed, paced himself, and picked his punches carefully landing with good accuracy, winning every round as he kept his distance. Neither fighter was marked or hurt. More...

Wednesday night at the Aviator Sports Arena in Brooklyn, NY, was the second night in only five days that Sal Musumeci’s Final Forum hosted a televised professional boxing card this time in association with Star Boxing.

The ESPN broadcast of "Wednesday Night Fights" featured an action packed main event with Ali Oubaali from Brooklyn, New York against Chris Fernandez of Salt Lake City .

In the main event, Oubaali threw nearly 100 punches per round against the game Fernandez, who gave as good as he got. Both fighters rarely clinched or held and preferred to exchange heavy shots throughout the bout.

Oubaali clearly got the better of the exchanges landing an incredible amount of shots to the body. On at least three occasions, it seemed as if Fernandez was about to drop to a knee or go down from the shots to the body but he would take a deep breathe and come back swinging. More...
