THOMPSON STOPS PRICE AGAIN!!

SAN DIEGO, CA (JULY 6, 2013)—Tony Thompson made it two for two as he took out former Olympic silver medal winner David Price for the second time in just over three months with a fifth round stoppage at the Echo Arena in Liverpool, England

The fight was broadcast LIVE in the United States on Wealth TV and www.wealthtv.com

After chess match of a first round, the second was nothing but action as Thompson tried to rough up Price and landed a hard left that startled Price.  Later in the round, Price landed a hard right that drove Thompson to the ropes and seconds later deposited Thompson on the canvas from a hard right hand.  Round three was more of the same as Price started the round by rocking Thompson with a hard right to the top of the head.  Thompson came back to land some lefts and uppercuts and Price walked back to his corner looking winded.  Thompson had a strong round four as he rocked Price with a sustained assault with body punches and left crosses.  Thompson battered a now bloody price with a ferocious assault until the referee administered a standing eight count in the corner.  When the count was completed, Price could not continue and Thompson scored his second consecutive stoppage over the former British Olympic hero.

Thompson, who twice challenged Wladimir Klitschko for the Heavyweight championship of the world now, is clearly back at the head of the line and his record is now 38-3 with 26 knockouts.  The 6'8" Price falls to 15-2.

“Tony Thompson proved that Heavyweight boxing is alive and very well in the United States”, Said Charles Herring, President of Wealth TV

“We were glad that we were able to bring the fans both of these fights and this especially was one of the best Heavyweight fights in a long time.  Tony has a lot of fight left in him and we look forward to sitting down with him and hopefully continuing a relationship with him.  For someone to score two knockouts in three months over the guy who was just named the ESPN prospect of the year is a huge accomplishment”

“We said when we first got into boxing that we were committed to bring the most exciting fights that were either title fights or fights that had big implications and this fight had both and we look forward to providing more outstanding boxing content with some big announcements shortly.”

In a back and forth slugfest, Kevin Satchell barely escaped retaining his British and Commonwealth Flyweight titles with a razor thin unanimous decision over Iain Butcher in a battle of undefeated fighters.

In round two, Butcher almost ended things as he landed a huge right and left hook that rocked Satchell.  He followed up with qa flurry that sent Satchell to the canvas.  Satchell was lucky to get out of the round.  He started boxing and steadied himself but Butcher would still land some solid shots. The two traded shots for the rest of the fight with the highlight being toe to toe warfare that finished out round ten.  Butcher landed the harder shots but Satchell boxed well by throwing combinations from the outside.

In the end, the judges preferred Satchell's work rate as he scored the 115-113, 115-113 and 115-114 decision.

Satchell is now 11-0.  Butcher runs into tough luck is now 8-1.

Neil Perkins scored a six round unanimous decision over Steve Spence in a Middleweight bout.

The referee scored the bout 60-54 for Perkins who is 4-0.  Spence is 4-29-4.

Byarm: I Even Impressed Myself This Training Camp!

"He's never fought anybody that hits as hard as I do. If they did, they weren't around long enough to test him like I will be. He has to know it's not going to be easy fight. He's not going to just come in and walk me down like I'm 2-17." Washington DC (via Philadelphia) heavyweight locomotive Maurice "Freight Train" Byarm (13-1-1, 9 KOs) says he's never had a better training camp than the one he just finished in preparation for his 10-round showdown with Russian southpaw powerhouse Magomed "Mago" Abdusalamov (14-0, 14 KOs). The two big men will meet for the WBC United States (USNBC) Silver Heavyweight Championship in the co-main event of the Sampson Boxing and Greg Cohen Promotions show entitled "The Moment of Truth", this Friday, July 6, at the Hard Rock Hotel & Casino in Las Vegas, and televised live on ESPN Friday Night Fights. In the main event that same night, featherweight prospect Javier "El Abejon" Fortuna (19-0, 14 KOs) will take on the toughest opponent of his career when he faces former IBF Featherweight Champion Cristobal Cruz (39-13, 23 KOs). Even though he's coming off his first career loss, a close decision to fellow undefeated prospect Bryant Jennings in January, 29-year-old Byarm says the jump from one notable TV fight to another is exactly what he needs and Abdusalamov has the exact style to help him make the most of it. How did training camp go, Maurice? I feel great. Training camp went fantastic. Hands down, it was my best so far. I did a few things different for this camp. I had to change things up a little bit because I had to prepare for a southpaw puncher. I had to rotate a little differently and move differently, but overall, I feel blessed coming off a TV fight into another one. That lets me know I did a good enough job that people like to see me and are impressed with my performance. What do you think of Abdusalamov as a fighter? He's a fighter and I respect that. I can't take anything away from him. But I will say it's going to be a war in there. He's a puncher and so am I. He has the exact right style for me because he always comes forward and I have the exact right style for him because I do the same. But I don't think he can fight going backward. I can. In retrospect, what went wrong in your last fight? I didn't use my jab like I should have. I could have done a lot of things behind my jab. I could have taken breaks with it, or stepped up the pace behind it, but instead I just followed him around trying to land a big shot and Bryant was in good enough shape to be elusive the whole 10 rounds. So what's going to be different this time? I'm going to win. This fight I had a lot more time to prepare. Everything was good. All my ducks are lined up perfectly. I'm going in at 100%. I had the greatest sparring I've ever had. I've even impressed myself this training camp. Are you worried at all about his punching power? I'm not really worried about his power. I've got a reputation as a puncher also, so it comes down to who punches harder. He's never fought anybody that hits as hard as I do. If they did, they weren't around long enough to test him like I will be. He has to know it's not going to be easy fight. He's not going to just come in and walk me down like I'm 2-17. His team is very confident he's the next world champion. Can you comment on that? One thing about him that might be bad or good, his camp has a lot of faith in him, but sometimes when your camp shows more faith than reality that's when things get screwed up. He's good. I can't take that from him, but it's like I told another interviewer. Numbers can be easily manipulated. You can make a six look like a nine, all you have to do is flip it upside down. Tickets for "The Moment of Truth" are priced at $29 general admission, $44 reserved, $104 ringside and $204 VIP and are available at the Hard Rock Hotel & Casino box office daily from 10 a.m. to 8 p.m. and through Ticketmaster, either by calling 702-474-4000 or 800-745-3000, or by going online atticketmaster.com.
