New Mexico Boxing Beat
Looks like there was another possible pro/possibly amateur, most likely unsanctioned boxing card in Shiprock, N.M. Saturday night promoted by Thaddine Swifteagle-Johnson and her company, Red Fist Promotions. Three boxing matches and a handful of Muay Thai bouts were staged, with Swifteagle-Johnson knocking out her nameless opponent at :28 of round one. All the bouts were announced as “exhibitions” and went three two-minute rounds – except for Johnson’s fight, which was conducted without headgear.
Only one judge scored this weekend’s Felix Sturm-Mathew Macklin fight right in German: Las Cruces judge Levi Martinez had it 115-113 while the other two judges had it for the hometown favorite, Sturm, 116-112.
We hear Hector Munoz had a bit of homecooking against him in South Carolina this weekend, in a bout against Ayi Bruce. According to at least two spectators, a series of low blows were overlooked by the local referee during the fight.
