PhilBoxing.com


WHITE SULPHUR SPRINGS, West Virginia (January 22, 2011) ? Tonight?s title fight between World Boxing Federation Heavyweight Champion Evander ?The Real Deal? Holyfield and challenger Sherman ?Tank? Williams abruptly ended after three rounds due to a cut over Holyfield?s left eye that happened in the second round suffered in the second round. Holyfield was unable to continue after three and the fight was declared a no contest because the cut was caused by an accidental head butt and the fight didn?t go four rounds.

?I?m cut,? Holyfield said after the fight. ?He head-butted me. He came down on me with his head. I don?t know about my next fight (March 5 vs. Brian Nielson in Denmark). I?m cut, I?m cut. I?ll give Sherman a rematch.?

?I?m back,? said Williams who staggered Holyfield at the end of the third round with an overhand right. ?This fight was circus: on again, off again. But I stayed focused. I hurt him with an overhand punch. Let?s bring this fight to Atlantis ? Holyfield-Williams II. I?ll take his place in Denmark and fight Nielson.?

Holyfield-Williams headlined the ?Redemption In America? pay-per-view card, viewed by boxing fans in 17 different countries worldwide, live in front of a black-tie crowd from America?s resort -- The Greenbrier?s Colonial Hall -- in White Sulphur Springs, West Virginia.

?Redemption In America: The Journey Begins Now? pay-per-view event, presented by ARK Promotions in association with The Greenbrier, was distributed in North America by Integrated Sports Media.

?Redemption? fused world-class boxing and entertainment; showcasing a production that included high-energy music presented by Broadway performers, along with dancers and aerial artists. World-renowned saxophone player Clarence Clemons also headlined a live band between fights throughout the night.

In the co-feature, WBC #16 heavyweight Kevin ?Kingpin? Johnson (24-1-1, 10 KOs) dropped a much taller Julius ?Towering Inferno? Long (15-15, 13 KOs) twice in the final round en route to a convincing win by 8-round unanimous decision. Johnson, a former world title challenger, won seven rounds on all three judges? scorecards.

Former world heavyweight title challenger Monte Barrett (34-9-1) and veteran Charles ?Showboat? Davis fought to an 8-round majority draw.

In the PPV opening bout, unbeaten Detroit middleweight Willie Fortune (10-0, 5 KOs) won an 8-round split decision against Lithuania-native Donatas Bondoravas (10-2-1, 3 KOs) in a spirited bout.

In one of three off-PPV fights, Detroit middleweight Domonique Dolton (10-0, 6 KOs) kept his undefeated record intact, pitching a complete shutout (80-72 three times) versus veteran Marcos ?The Terminator? Primera for an 8-round unanimous decision.

NABA Heavyweight Champion Cedric ?The Bos? Boswell (33-1, 26 KOs) successfully defended his title, knocking out Dominique ?Diamond? Alexander (19-10, 9 KOs) in the second round via the three-knockdown rule.

Cleveland junior welterweight Miguel ?Silky Smooth? Gonzalez (13-2, 12 KOs), 2008 U.S. National AAU champion, dropped Ramon Che? Guevara three times in the sixth round for an automatic knockout victory.
