Peterson Dominates; Hampton Loses!

Undefeated NABO Lightweight champion Anthony Peterson of DC scored a second round TKO over Jose Soto in front of a nationally televised ESPN2 audience last night at the FedEx Forum in Memphis. According to Fightnews.com, Peterson (19-0, 13 KO's) dropped Soto (18-3-2, 10 KO's) with a body shot at the end of round one, then put him away with left hook to the head in round two. Time was 2:51.

In Philadelphia, Capitol Heights, MD heavyweight Wayne "Hammerhead" Hampton lost by fourth round TKO to Dave Brunelli at the National Guard Armory. Hampton is now 4-2, two KO's while Brunelli, a former toughman participant, raises his record to 5-1, three KO's.

One late note to pass along: Congratulations to lightweight Thomas "KO' Snow of Capitol Heights who raised his record to 5-0, three KO's with a 35-second knockout of Tony Green on July 28 in Louisville, KY. If what Boxrec.com says is true, Green may need to find different management because he made his pro debut against a guy who was 4-0 with two KO's going into the bout.
