Although Briggs had his fight pulled there was still a Heavyweight bout that took place. That contest saw the unbeaten Jelani Bitoy (2-0, 1) managing to out point the debuting Lance Campbell (0-1) over 4 rounds. Bitoy appeared the clear winner with scores of 40-36, twice, and 39-37 though of course it's hard to say just how good the 33 year old is. We're going to assume however that he isn't a world beater in the making.
This past Sunday seemed set to be the retire of former Heavyweight champion Shannon "The Cannon" Briggs. Instead it seems that Briggs didn't get his medical work in order in time and his fight was scrapped from the card as a result.

We never expect anything great on a Sunday in the Heavyweight division and this past weekend showed the sort of typical action we get in the division as bouts took place in the USA, Croatia and Slovakia.
We'll in the Croatia where German journeyman Muhammed Ali Durmaz (8-16, 7) scored a rare victory. Durmaz, who entered the bout on a 6 fight stoppage losing streak, was matched very easily against Dmitry Orlov (0-7) and managed to score a 4th round TKO. In Slovakia Zoltan Somosi (15-9, 7) managed to score a 6th round stoppage over fellow Romanian Vasil Mandea (3-6, 2) who suffered his second loss in just a few days. In the USA we had a surprisingly short day of action with just 144 seconds of Heavyweight action as Jelani Bitoy (1-0, 1) made a memorable debut. Facing fellow debutant Jamar Fuller (0-1), Bitoy made an immediate impact in his career. |
