MARK WADE GETS PAID....BY WINNING HIS BOUT IN 30 SECONDS!

Mark Wade wins his first amateur bout in impressive fashion by stopping his opponent with a flurry of punches in a record 30 seconds!

Mark, who's record is now 1-2 said that he was incredibly focused for this fight, and would leave nothing to the judges to decide this time around.

Marks' first two fights were very tough because they were against experienced opponents, but he fought really strong and made both fights extremely close! Mark said the key thing for him this time around was not to wait on his opponent to get off first, and that's what he did. Mark brought the crowd to it's feet at the Sugar Ray Leonards' Gym in Landover, Maryland when he stopped his opponent from the "Midtown Gym" out of Washington D.C. with a big right hand that did too much damage for his opponent to continue!

The aggressive style that Mark used in the fight along with the quick stoppage earned him the fighter of the show award that is given to the fighter that won the most impressively!

Congratulations goes out to Mark, who is looking to keep doing damage in the 126 lbs weight class!

Katrina Reeds wins Mayors Cup Bout!

13 year old Katrina Reed from Landover, Maryland won impressively in her debut bout on August 20 at The Mayors Cup Tournament in Washington D.C.

Katrina faced a tough challenger from Willmington, North Carolina in a 154lbs slugfest!
The first round was all action, as the two young ladies through quick vicious punches toe-to-to in the middle of the ring. Katrina got the edge late in the first round by beating her opponent to the punch, and throwing crisper straigheter shots!

With seconds left in the round, the young lady from the Tarheel state mounted an impressive barrage of punches that forced the referre to give Katrina an eight count! In the beginning of the
second round Katrina came out blazing away with straight right hands, and devastating uppercuts that broke her opponent nose and caused major bleeding!

The ref. stepped in and called time for the ringside doctor to inspect the damage. and decided that the young lady with tremendous amounts of heart could no longer continue!

Katrina won by stoppage of the bout in the second round! Congratulations Katrina Reed on winning your first bout at such a prestigious event such as The Mayors Cup!

The Kentland Boxing Association is on an impressive roll with two of thier fighters winning in convincing fashion in their last two matches!

Jemal" The Body Snatcher" Hinton, gets his 1st win!

Keely's gala event this past weekend was incredible! Our sport was put on a pedestal at the Lincoln Theater and the fighters reponded with nothing but pure effort!

I want to thank Keely's for having us at this big event and I want to congratulate our man,
Jemal "The Body Snatcher" Hinton for stepping up and grabbing his first victory!

Jemal started slow during the first round and was a little tight. He kept backing up and dropping
hands and was caught with a couple of good shots by the much taller fighter from Keely's gym.

Jemal recieved a eight count from the ref. after getting caught with a good right hand, then fought back the second and third rounds and landed a big left hook to give his opponent a standing eight count, that probably won the fight for him!

Jemal's record is now, 1-1 and is looking to cause major damage in the 138 pound weight-class!

Congrats "Body Snatcher"!
