A great night of boxing brought to the public
by the Comanche Nation Casino, catBOX
Entertainment and C3 Fights, took place last Friday night, May 15,
2009 in Lawton, Oklahoma, in the famous EvenTTent, the eighth wonder
of the entertainment world. catBOX
has been taking the boxing public by storm, presenting unparalleled
exciting fights for fight fans since 2006. In March, 2009 at First
Council Casino, and again last week at the beautiful Comanche Nation
Casino, catBOX and C3 fights
joined together to continue catBOX’s
tradition of bringing world class boxing to fight fans nation wide.
In the Main Event, George
“Comanche Boy” Tahdooahnippah, showed again why he is
feared as a fighter with exceptional skills and toughness. Comanche
Boy had his opponent Dan Wallace of Detroit, Michigan reeling and
hurt when, by the intervention of mother nature, Wallace was saved
from a certain knockout by one of Oklahoma’s notorious wind storms,
forcing stoppage of Comanche Boy’s assault after the first round.
A rematch is tentatively set for this September at the Comanche
Nation Casino in Lawton, Oklahoma.
2006 Contender Champion
Grady Brewer was in top form Friday night with an impressively
quick first round knock out of Reginald Nash from Chattanooga, TN.
And top ranked Marcus Oliveria
(No. 4 in USA rankings) expanded his undefeated record to 18-0 with
a second round TKO of rugged and true throwback to the fighters
of yesteryear, Isaiah Henderson from Kansas City, MO. A last minute
bout substitution brought the flashy 294 pound Goliath
John Clark (former Green Bay Packer offensive lineman)
from Huntington Beach, California to Lawton, Oklahoma where he scored
a fourth round TKO over Eric Crittendon, a smaller, yet tenacious
heavyweight from Clinton, Missouri. John Clark was both a class
act and a crowd pleaser.
In a rematch between veteran heavyweights
Terrance Jones and Sam Norwood,
Jones clearly dominated Norwood the first three rounds before defeating
him in a fourth round TKO. Jones is back and looked the part with
a grim determination as he exchanged shots with Norwood before winning
the fight.
And in unrelated boxing news, popular undefeated
Oklahoma Lightweight Champion Noah Zuhdi,
managed by catBOX , was offered
a pay-for-view fight in October, 2009 in New York, to face another
undefeated fighter. Details on Zuhdi’s upcoming fight to be announced.
