ESPN Boxing: Friday Night Fight Results

By Daxx Kahn May 24th, 2008 All Boxing Results

Lincoln Rhode Islands, Twin River Event Center played host to ESPN2 Friday Night Fight’s card as promoter Jimmy Burchfield put on a quality night of boxing for fans not only in attendance but those viewing on television around the world.

The main event of the evening showcased undefeated Aaron “Awesome” Williams 17-1-1 (12) in his first outing as a main event status fighter when he faced hard punching dangerous Jose Luis Herrera 16-4 (16). Williams started out the fight impressively when he battered Herrera in round one sending him to the canvas for an eight count and while Jose survived the first, rounds two thru four continued on the same as Williams controlled the bout using superior skill to keep Herrera at bay.

In round five almost as if trying to set an example of what not to do after the words “Williams is keeping his hands too low and could get caught” poured out of analyst Teddy Atlas’ mouth, Herrera lands a right hand that stuns Williams pushing him back to the ropes, then after another onslaught of punches by Jose he dropped to the mat.

After beating the count and continuing on Williams moves away from any big shots Herrera might land to close the show by dropping down on his own to a knee. The referee led Williams to the corner for the doctors opinion who decided Williams was unable to continue on giving him his first career loss.

In a co-feature former Olympian Jason “Big Six” Estrada 14-1 (3) faced off against Moultrie “Jack Hammer” Witherspoon 14-2 (8). It was apparent from the opening bell that Witherspoon the 6’6” 34 year old out of Columbia South Carolina was out gunned and out classed. Moultrie who did not begin his pro career until he was 30yrs old ate left, right combinations followed by uppercuts in rounds one and two that had the referee closely debating on stopping the bout.
