July 2, 2014 – Mashantucket, Connecticut – Ringside by Pattee Mak
Michael “Hammer Fist” Farenas of Paranaque City, Philippines gets the TKO win over Mark “Too Sharp” Davis of Cleveland, Ohio during a special addition of ESPN’s, Wednesday nite fights at Foxwoods Resorts & Casino.
During the 8 rounds, Farenas continually applied pressure on Davis and landed the cleaner punches. During round 1 there was a legal punch by Farenas which opened a cut on Davis’ right eye. During round 5 Farenas kept coming forward and was looking for the KO but Davis was saved by the Bell. There was consistent action by both fighters and Davis did put up a great fight. During round 8 Farenas landed a left hook that wobbled Davis and followed up with another left. Referee Steve Smoger jumped in and called a halt to the bout at .59 seconds into round 8. Farenas became the #2 IBF Jr Lightweight Contender. Previous to the TKO victory the judges had Farenas up across the board except for Clark Sammartino gave Davis round 7.
Farenas increased his record to 37-4-4, 29 Kos and Davis obtained his first loss at 18-1, 5 Kos.
Co-Main Event: JUNIOR LIGHTWEIGHTS – BILLY “The Kid” DIB of Sydney, New South Wales, Australia vs. ALBERTO “Kichis” GARZA of Mexico City, Distrito Federal, Mexico. What can I say… This wasn’t an exciting fight to me. Dib gets the UD victory after 10 rounds. The judges scored the bout 98-91; 96-93 and 96-93. Garza landed an accidental head-butt during round 1 and Garza also received a 1 point deduction during round 6 for hitting below the belt. Dib’s right eye was cut and Garza’s right eye was swollen. There was some confusion during round 10 as if Garza asked for a time out and got it.
Dib advances his record to 37-3-0-1 and Garza decreases his record to 26-8-1.

With all that being said I was off and running to 50 Cent’s Birthday Bash right next store.
As in September, I once again ran out of gas in the 10th & 11th championship rounds of October & November with this column, but I recovered to complete them and will unleash a few more flurries to close out the 12th and final round.
In the first week of October, Hassan N’Dam won a UD over Curtis Stevens in an eliminator for the right to challenge Jermaine Taylor who defeated aging Sam Soliman to regain the IBF Middleweight title. How Taylor even earned this title shot is another story altogether, but it is all irrelevant as he is now the champion. However he will not have too much time to savor his victory as he has assault and battery charges pending against him and an upcoming court fight that may turn out to be the toughest fight of his life, just when things started to look up for him in boxing, we wish him luck.
