Andrade Punishes Joseph!
Local man, Demetrius Andrade, or Providence, Rhode Island, stayed true to his fight name, “The Punisher,” as he sent Youngstown, Ohio’s, Tom Joseph packing for home, in the first round of a scheduled four at super welterweight..
Referee Dick Flaherty, had seen enough at one minute fifty three seconds of the first stanza, when Joseph was seen defenseless, pinned between the ropes and Andrade’s relentless attack.
Co- Promoter’s Artie Pellulo, of Banner Promotions and Joe DeGuardia, of Star Boxing shared the ring with their fighter, when Flaherty raised the Olympian’s undefeated hand in the air, improving his young and promising professional career to 3 wins and 3 knock outs. Joseph’s record suffered his second loss, now at 4-2-1, 0 KO’s. Keep your eye on Andrade, trained by his father, Paul Andrade.
Dunwell Sheds Dreads and Shakes Moore!
How can you not like a kid like Simeon Dunwell, of Lynn, Massachusetts, who cut his dreads after previous fight objections by referees and commissioners, and came back in style this evening with a convincing win over veteran, Shakha Moore.
