CHUMASH CASINO RESULTS AND PHOTOS: VERNON PARIS TKO?s TIM COLEMAN TO WIN USBA 140 LBS. TITLE By Ed de la Vega, DDS PhilBoxing.com Sun, 07 Aug 2011  Paris (L) tags Coleman with a left. Sta. Ynes, CA:- In a fight described as a rumble between two guys ?who really hated each other and had to stay in different hotels to avoid pre-fight confrontations, the guy who talked more, had a great deal more of bravado and who came off as if he will eat his opponent alive, ended at the short end of the stick Friday night at the Chumash Casino here. Defending USBA 140 lbs champion Tim Coleman (19-3-1, 5KO) of Baltimore, Maryland who calls himself ?The Pitbull? walked into the ring full of himself. He was full of bluster and tried hard to stare down Vernon ?The Iceman? Paris (25-0-0, 15KO) of Detroit, Michigan. In the beginning of the fight it appeared that Coleman indeed intimidated his challenger. In fact he led in the early rounds even knocking down Paris in round 2. But Paris survived the KD and shook it off as he rested on his stool. As round three started both fighter came more alive and had heated exchanges throughout the round as well as on round 4 and 5. One thing that Paris realized during those torrid exchanges was that Coleman was a little weak in the mid section. He reacted every time he got hit by a body blow. In round 6, responding to his corner?s instructions, Paris started to throw more to the body of Coleman. His efforts paid off as he put down Coleman twice in the round. In fact, in the last seconds of the round, Coleman barely escaped outright defeat as the bell sounded to save him. When 7th round started, Paris sensing that he was about to be crowned as USBA champion, upped the tempo and threw more body punches to the now retreating Coleman. A well placed left hook to the liver sent Coleman to the canvas again and ended his reign as champion. 
Vernon Paris wins.
