SEPTEMBER 5TH SHOW RESULTS
Bronx, NY- Sep 05, 2008
Joe DeGuardia's Star Boxing returned to Bally's Hotel and Casino in
Atlantic City, NJ tonight and put on yet another fantastic show in front of
a near capacity audience.
ARNAOUTIS DESTROYS ATHUMANI IN THIRD
 The Pride of Greece, "Mighty"
Mike Arnaoutis (20-2-2, 10KO) knocked his opponent Nasser Athumani (20-7-2,
16KO) out cold in the third round of their scheduled ten round jr.
welterweight contest.
Arnaoutis came out in the first two rounds looking to size
up his opponent. As the third round started it was clear Arnaoutis was
looking to press the action now as he began throwing hard straight left
hands and right hooks to both the body and head. A huge left hand landed
flush on the jaw of Athumani and sent him to the canvas flat on his back.
Offcial time of the stoppage was 1:42 of the third round.
MIGHTY MIKE WITH JOE DEGUARDIA
"KINGPIN" KEEPS PROMISE AND GETS
RID OF SELDON
 Kevin "Kingpin" Johnson (20-0-1,
7KO) did not disappoint as he knocked former world heavyweight champion
Bruce Seldon (38-7, 34KO) out at 2:28 of the 5th round of their scheduled
ten round heavyweight contest.
Johnson was adamant before the fight stating that he would
not only use his jab and box but go right after Seldon. In the first round
it was clear Johnson wanted to feel Seldon out as he let Seldon press
forward. From that point on though it was Johnson who was looking to
exchange as he chose to fight Seldon in the center of the ring. Johnson
began unloading huge straight right hands and right crosses that
immediately began to take their mark on Seldon's face. In the third round
Johnson dropped Seldon with a big right hand. Seldon got up but took a
severe beating for the rest of the round as Johnson landed seemingly at
will. In the 5th round with Seldon trying to press forward a huge right
cross landed right on the button and put Seldon down hard. The referee had
seen enough at this point as Seldon was starting to take a lot of
punishment and called a halt to the contest.
JOHNSON CELEBRATES WITH DEGUARDIA AND REST
OF TEAM
RAY ROBINSON PASSES TOUGH TEST REMAINS
UNBEATEN
 Philadelphia's "The New" Ray
Robinson improved his record to 9-0, 3KO with a impressive but tough fight
against Eberto Medina (5-4, 1KO). Medina came to fight and would not quit
but Robinson seemed to just be on a different level. Robinson showed
tremendous hand speed and good defensive skills as he would land three and
four punch combinations and then move away as his opponent tried to
counter. Robinson dropped Medina with a straight left hand just as the bell
sounded to end the fight. Medina got up but looked to be in bad shape.
Robinson showed tremendous poise and looked very impressive in his first
scheduled six rounder.
RILEY DOMINATES ONCE AGAIN
 Rising light heavyweight Yathomas Riley
(3- 0,2KO) dropped his opponent three times en route to a dominating four
round unanimous decision over Zeferino Albino (3-8-2, 1KO). Riley had his
opponent reeling throughout as he landed left hand bombs to the head of his
opponent dropping him twice in the first and once more in the second. As
did Robinson, Riley landed a huge left hand that rocked his opponent just
as the bell sounded to end the fight. Even though it was only his third
fight Riley seems to have all the skills and potential to become a future
world champion in the light heavyweight division.
