In the sunny climes of Pompano Beach, Silverhawk Boxing put on a show featuring the middleweight Mitchell brothers of Philadelphia at Club Cinema.

The massive left hook that Ricky Hatton gunned down Carlos Maussa with last November in Sheffield seems to have taken any world class skills that the rangy, wild swinging Colombian may have had as the ex-WBA Light Welter Champ lost to unheralded Mexican Manuel Garnica at the Miccosukee Resort in Miami, FL. The hard punching…
