Two Three Great Boxing Shows This Past Weekend - Available on demand on GFL + Upcoming Events Impressive wins by Tim Coleman, Jeremy Bryan and Steve Upsher Chambers highlight an all boxing Weekend from New York, Newark and Philly
A Great Week of East Coast Boxing This Past Week on GFL NEW YORK (DECEMBER 7TH, 2009)—This past weekend, three big boxing events took place on the east coast that featured some of the best up and coming talent plus some former world champions in New York, Newark and Philly.
HUSTLER BOXING SERIES The action kicked off on Wednesday night New York as Tim Coleman won the USBA Jr. Welterweight title with a controversial split decision over former world title challenger “Mighty” Mike Arnaoutis. The c-feature saw a battle of undefeated welterweight prospect as Brad Solomon hooked up with “The New” Ray Robinson. The card was rounded out by two-time Heavyweight champion of the world, Shannon Briggs making his first ring appearance in almost two and a half years as he scored a devastating one punch knockout over Marcus McGee.

Jeremy “Hollywood” Bryan once again displayed why his moniker fits the bill after putting away Darren Fallen inside of two rounds last night in the main event of “The Brawl in Brick City” at Essex County College in Newark, NJ.
Both men took their time in the opening moments of fight, with Bryan patiently throwing jabs while Fallen tried using his reach advantage from the outside. Near the end of the first, Bryan decked Fallen with a short left hook, but the Philadelphian made it back to his feet to finish the round. Bryan picked up where he left off in the second, dropping The 18 fight veteran hard to the canvas with a huge right hand.
The game Fallen arose from the knockdown but was dropped between the ropes shortly thereafter following a strong combination, forcing his corner to throw in the towel at 2:35.
Italian import Floriano “Flash” Pagliara scored a minor upset in the co-feature after out hustling previously unbeaten junior lightweight Antonio “The Tiger” Espinosa. The fleet footed Espinosa had success early on by boxing and moving, but Pagliara’s constant pressure proved to be too much. Scores were 59-55 and 58-56 twice for Pagliara, who improves to 10-3 with 6 KO’s. Espinosa of nearby West New York, NJ, falls to 11-1 (1 KO).
Locals Tyre Roberts, Eddie Edmond and Alex Mendez each won four round decisions, while former amateur standout Juan Rodriques scored a highlight reel first round knockout with a monstrous right hand cross.

BLUE HORIZON BOXING—7TH ANNUAL CHILDREN'S HOLIDAY SHOW In front of a near capacity house, Steve Upsher Chambers scored a very decisive unanimous decision over Doel Carrasquillo to cap off the 7th Annual Children’s Holiday at The Legendary Blue Horizon Chambers, of Philadelphia mixed up his shots well as he featured hooks and crosses and jabbed very well but his punch of choice was the uppercut for which he used with precision and often during the fight.
The co-feature was a controversial draw as Loren Myers looked to have snapped the long winning streak of Gee Cullmer in an eight round Middleweight bout but two judges felt differently and the bout ended in a majority draw.
Myers pressed the action as Cullmer was very tired by the third round and was trapped against the ropes for much of the fight. Cullmer fought back and tried to make a fight of that and that may have won him a few rounds but it looked like the visitor pulled off the upset.
Former NHL tough guy, Nathan Perrott suffered three first round knockdowns and was stopped by debuting John Bolden at 2:09 of that opening frame.
Two Philadelphian's, Charles Hayward (4 years) and Tim Johnson (2 years) came back from layoffs to score decision victories over Patrick Budd and Jonathan Felton respectively.
Jr. Middleweight, Darrell Jones (3-0) remained undefeated with a unanimous decision over Antonio Fernandez in a four round bout.
