Jimmy Burchfield of Classic Entertainment & Sports (CES) delivered 6 professional fights and 5 amateur bouts at Mohegan Sun Casino in Connecticut. The main event, World lightweight title contender Hammerin’ Hank Lundy of Philadelphia headlined the event against Pipino Cuevas Jr. of Mexico City, Mexico. Cuevas is the son of the former WBA world welterweight champ Pipino Cuevas and Jr is also a former WBC Latino Champ.

Round 1 started off to a slow start with both fighter not too busy. Cuevas not having too much power behind his punches. Round 2 was a different story, coming out of the corner Cuevas face already seems to be getting swollen. Lundy connected with a left hand and Cuevas went down. The referee called a halt to the fight at 2:23 into round 2.

Lundy increased his record to 25-3-1, 12 KOs while Cuevas decreases his record to 17-12-0, 15 Kos.

A local fan favorite, SHELITO VINCENT of New London, CT went up against super bantamweight LAKEYSHA WILLIAMS of Philadelphia, Pa. Opening round Shelly came out strong trying to get the KO as soon as the bell rang. At the end of round 2 Shelly backed up Williams up against the rope and unleashed a multitude of punches. During the rest of the rounds, Shelly continuing backed up Williams against the ropes. Williams instead of getting off the ropes took the punishment Shelly delivered.  After 6 rounds the judges scored the fight 60-54 2x and 59-55 all for Shelly. Shelly increases her record to 11-1 and Williams deceased her record to 9-19-3.

Lao goes down to the canvas. Williams gets the KO victory and is awarded the Ct State Super Welterweight title. Williams’s advances to 6-0-1 and Lao decreases to 5-3-1.
