Early Results from Bally’s Atlantic City

By John DiSanto at ringside

In the opening bout at Bally’s Atlantic City, Brooklyn-based middleweight Avtandil Khurtsidze, 31-2-2, 20 KOs, charged right out and began pressing Miami’s Melvin Betancourt, 29-3, 23 KOs, from the opening bell. At first, the action was two-way, but then Khurtsidze’s heavier blows started to back up Betancourt. Once Betancourt stopped punching back, Khurtsidze steam-rolled forward and began to hurt his opponent to both the head and body. Suddenly a Khurtsidze left hook landed and Betancourt went down flat on his back. For the first five seconds or so, the fallen fighter did not move and appeared to be out cold. However, Betancourt managed to rise, but on unsteady legs. Referee Earl Brown took one look and stopped the fight. The time was 2:22 of round one in the scheduled 8-rounder.

Philadelphian Anthony Burgin, 9-1, 2 KOs, rebounded from his first professional defeat with a first round TKO of Justin Johnson, 7-9-4, of Pittsburgh, PA, in a scheduled 6-round lightweight contest. Burgin scored three knockdowns before referee Sparkle Lee halted the one-sided bout at 2:57 of round one.

In a scheduled 8-round heavyweight fight, Philly’s Joey Dawejko, 15-4-2, 8 KOs, stopped Robert Dunton, 11-15-1, 6 KOs, Wilmington, DE, with jarring right uppercut in the first round. The quick KO was his fifth first-rounder in his last six bouts, and a return to the win column after dropping a decision in his last outing. With his next bout, a nationally televised ShoBox encounter with Natu Visinia on August 28th, already set, the pressure was on Dawejko to escape this fight with no cuts or injuries. Dawejko finished his work on this night in just 31 seconds, and appeared to leave the ring in mint condition. Dunton got to his feet, but referee Earl Brown decided to stop it. This quickie kept the evening’s streak going – four bouts, four opening round TKOs.

The quick KOs kept coming at Bally’s when welterweight Noel Murphy, 3-0, 2 KOs, dropped DC’s Stacey Anderson, 0-3, twice in round one for another quick stoppage. The scheduled 4-round bout between the two southpaws, ended after 2:27. Murphy, Woodlawn, NY by way of Ireland, used a potent right hook to floor Anderson both times. Referee Sparkle Lee stopped the fight the moment Anderson fell for the second time.

Opener is gritty good. Undefeated hometown boy Regis Prograis is showing top notch combo punching.
