boxing fans got something to cheer about in an action filled night of fights at
the Hershey Centre Saturday in Mississauga Ontario December 1st. Headlined by undefeated Canadian
Cruiserweight “Dangerous” @DentonDaley
the building was brought to its feet on a few occasions as the @UnitedPromotion
stable of fighters put on a show.
Denton
Daley took on 38 fight veteran Mauro Adrian Ordiales of Argentina (28-11) in
the main event and things got “Dangerous” early. Daley showed fans he was ready for the step
up in competition and experience forcing the hard hitting Ordiales to take a
knee twice in the first round. Daley
smelled blood in the water and finished the fight in the second round with a
flashy overhand right knockout that sent his opponent crashing to the canvas
and got the crowd out of their seats.
Improving to 8-0 with 5 finishes, Daley gave credit to strength and
conditioning Coach Rob Cowie from Syd Vanderpool’s camp in Kitchener for
getting him prepared for an explosive finish.
Daley has been doing resistance training and it showed with a highly
exciting and athletic display of Pugilism.
Look for Denton to take another step up the boxing ladder after proving
he can best a well-travelled journeyman boxer while headlining an event.
Dillon
“Big Country” Carman of Belleville Ontario (5-1) took on Peter Erdos of Hungary
(5-2-1) in fan friendly Heavyweight fight.
Erdos showed frustration early trying to handle the long accurate
punches from Big Country, dropping his hands daring the Canadian to test his
chin. Big mistake from the visitor who
was the recipient of some devastating snapping punches which lead to the third
round tko victory. Carman is a fan
favourite and climbed up onto each corner to get fans going in celebration of
his 5th career victory.
A
last minute bout between Brandon Cook (7-0) and Junmar Emon (2-0) took place
after both boxers scheduled opponents couldn’t compete for reasons unknown at
this time. Cook fighting at 154 pounds
and Emon down at 147 had to agree to the bout the morning of the card and made
the most of the opportunity putting on a “Fight of the Night” performance. Cook controlled the first two rounds with his
size and volume punching backing up the smaller Emon along the ropes. The second half of the 4 round fight was what
got the building rocking as the smaller man battled back landing a series of
head snapping shots as Cook looked to tire under the high output pace he had
set. It was an almost exclusively inside
fight with both fighters putting their own safety aside in exchange for an old
school throw down. The fight ended with
the crowd completely charged up as the fighters awaited the decision. Cook got the unanimous nod from all three
judges and that’s when the building erupted into boos in support of the smaller
underdog Junmar Emon who many felt battled valiantly enough to earn a
draw. The reality is that despite Emon
fighting with heart, courage and landing some solid shots in the final two
frames, Brandon Cook controlled the fight and pushed the action from bell to
bell and would have been awarded an unfair draw on an unblemished record.
Steven
Wilcox of Hamilton (5-0) took on Harrison McBain also from Hamilton (4-5-1) in
a 6 round lightweight fight. Mcbain tried
his best to close the distance and get inside on Wilcox who utilized his
movement and straight punches well to fend off his stouter more experienced
opponent. Wilcox showed good boxing
skill in the unanimous decision victory to remain undefeated.
Natalie
Brown of Mississauga Ontario (6-2) took on Tammie Johnson (4-4-2) of Lynnwood
Washington in the opening bout of the night in a Light Welterweight match, 140
pounds. It was a promoters dream as
Brown used her superior boxing skill to find Johnsons chin early and often
leading to the second round tko stoppage.
In
all it was a successful night of fights at the Hershey Centre in United
Promotions 10th boxing event at the venue. Each of the matches offered something different
for fans who seemed satisfied despite three fights being cancelled, out of
which eventually became one truly exciting bout. Keep an eye on United Promotions as they
continue to build up professional boxing in Ontario with a great live show and
a group of fighters all with bright futures in the sport.
