Friday Night Fights had a special thursday edition (3/26/15) last night on ESPN2. Ahmed Elbiali vs Mike Stafford in a 6 round contest, Rances Barthelemy vs Angino Perez in a 10 round contest, and the main event was the undefeated Freddie Lawson vs former world title challenger Breidis Prescot. Here are your results from last night:
Ahmed Elbiali defeats Mike Stafford via Unanimous Decision
- This was a relatively easy fight for Elbiali. He clearly had more power and was the more skilled boxer. He won every round except the last, as Stafford looked sluggish and over matched the entire fight. Elbiali give up defense for offense, and he will have to work on that going forward. A higher class opponent would pick him apart.
Rances Barthelemy defeats Angino Perez via TKO 2nd round
- Barthelemy vacated his title to move up to Junior Welterweight. This looked like a tune up fight for sure. Talk about overmatched, Perez never stood a chance. Barthelemy knocked him down twice in the first round and Perez never recovered. He lasted 15 seconds into the second round, and it was over.
Freddie Lawson defeats Breidis Prescot via Split Decision
- Hands down the best fight of the night. It was a very competitive affair, and with a very narrow split decision, Freddie Lawson will stay undefeated. Back and forth they went, and Prescot seemed to punch himself out in the end. Lawson took over the last 2 rounds, and the knockdown in the 3rd round proved to be the difference on the scorecards.
