Results from Last Night's 'Fight for a Cure'!


In this Mike Greenhill photo, Phill Brown knocks Ray Grant to the commissioner's table during last night's 'Fight for a Cure' event at Martin's West in Woodlawn, MD.

I was unable to attend last night's charity boxing show at Martin's West in Woodlawn, MD. Here's an account of the show courtesy of Fightnews.com's Mike Greenhill:

It was the annual Fight For A Cure charity pro boxing show in Baltimore, this time at Martin’s West in suburban Woodlawn, Maryland. The evening benefitted the Jonathan Ogden Foundation, started by Baltimore Ravens’ All-Pro offensive tackle Jonathan Ogden, in memory of his late father. More than a dozen Ravens teammates were on hand, including Ray Lewis, Edwin Mulitalo, Terrell Suggs, Bart Scott and others, as well as Hall-of-Fame Colts running back Lenny Moore.

In the opening bout, cruiserweight Reuel Williams of Wilmington, Delaware raised his record to 1-1 with a 4-round unanimous decision over Philadelphia’s Robert Evans, making his pro debut. Evans appeared nervous and hyper throughout the bout, especially after a 2nd-round accidental clash of heads cut him on the left eye. Scores were 39-37 from Malik Waleed and Kenny Chevalier, while John Gradowski saw 40-36. Gary Camponeschi refereed.

236-pound heavyweight Wayne Hampton rallied after losing the first two rounds big, flattening 264-pound Rohan Wallace of Washington, D.C. at 1:50 of the third in their scheduled six. Wallace had his way with power rights and lefts before Hampton caught him with two rights of his on in the third stanza, then finishing him off with a two-punch combo. Wallace hit the floor face first and was counted out by John Gradowski. Hampton is now 5-3 (3) and Wallace falls to 6-5 (4).

William Gill of Toms River, New Jersey and Landover, Maryland’s Carlos Jones, who bears a striking resemblance to rapper Busta Rhymes, put on an entertaining back-and-forth cruiserweight scrap before Gill floored Jones at 2:50 of the fifth in their set-for-six. Jones was game, but kept his left hand too low, eating more rights as the fight wore on. A head-snapping right by Gill late in the fifth put Jones down under the bottom rope, whereupon referee Kenny Chevalier waved it off without bothering to count. Jones and some of the fans briefly complained about a quick stoppage. Gill improves to 5-11 (4), while Jones drops to 5-11 (3).

287-pound Phil Brown of Upper Marlboro, Maryland drove fellow heavyweight Ray Grant, 248, Bowie, Maryland, through the ropes and onto the commissioner’s table on his way to an easy 4-round decision win. Grant was able to climb back in, but did little after that incident, lacking the power to turn the fight around. Brown rises to 2-0 (1) while Grant’s record evens out at 1-1. Gary Camponeschi saw it 40-34 and John Gradowski tallied 39-35, all for Brown. Malik Waleed officiated.

Heavyweight Lenroy Thomas, St. Petersburg, Florida, crushed Stafford, Virginia’s Jonathan Felton with one left hook that put Felton on his back at 1:22 of the second in a scheduled 4-rounder. Referee Malik Waleed halted matters without counting, seeing Felton’s eyes roll back momentarily. Thomas is 5-1 (4). Felton sinks to 2-5 (2).

The final bout of the evening saw former U.S. amateur heavyweight champion Eric Fields of Ardmore, Oklahoma run his pro ledger to 2-0 (2) with a 4th -round TKO of Charleston, South Carolina’s Steven Archie. Archie was in there trying all the way, but lacked the power to keep Fields off him. Fields caught up to him with uppercuts and vicious body shots, then pounded Archie with lefts and rights to the head, forcing referee Gary Camponeschi to step in at the 2:29 mark of the second, saving the wobbly Archie from turning into a meathead. Archie falls to 0-2.

Nice Job Mr. Phil Brown!!! you looked great in there. Not the same Phil I knew in the amatures over at SRL. I see that William Flip Johnson is training you over at Old SChool Boxing in Washington DC. I remember him fighting with my Uncle Jessie years ago. He was a pure boxer and pretty damn good.
Anyway Phil, you keep up the good work, I really enjoyed watching you the other night. Now dont let your head get bigger than it already is-ok.
