 Thompson, Colvin, and Taylor win.

 Cleveland, OH -  November 24, 2008  -  The St. Clarence Hall in North Olmsted, Ohio was buzzing with excitement on Friday, November 21^st, as Kincaid Godhard Promotions presented live professional boxing. A standing room only crowd was treated to 6 professional bouts and 4 preliminary amateur bouts.  

In one of the feature fights of the evening Ryan “The Tank” Thompson from East Cleveland upped his record to (8-6, 6KO) with a 4 round unanimous decision victory over a very game Dione Craig (4-14, 1KO). Thompson battered Craig with a large volume of punches, especially in the last 2 rounds. Thompson is currently on a 3 fight win streak. Craig deserves credit for not only taking the fight on just 1 days notice, but also for fighting with a lot of heart.   

In what was the fight of the night, cruiserweight Tanya “The Red Neck Mama” Colvin from Pensboro, WV improved her record to (2-0, 1KO)  with a 4 round unanimous decision victory over Elecia “Mega” Battle (3-2, 3KO). Colvin, who had little defense, ate a lot of jabs in the beginning of the fight. But she slowly wore down Battle during the fight with a relentless offense, and was on the verge of a stoppage when the bell sounded to end the fight. 

 Heavyweight sensation Andres “Taylor Made” Taylor (4-0-1, 1KO) from Johnstown, PA scored 2 knock downs in the first round to take home a 4 round unanimous decision victory over Mike Jones (5-15, 2KO). Jones valiantly fought his way back in to the fight, but could not shake the faster Taylor.

In the opening match heavyweight Justin "Rage" Riegle (1-0) from Orrville, Ohio scored a split decision victory over Brian Cook (1-2, 1KO) from Nordonia, in a spirited bout that could have went either way.

Cruiserweight Rayshawn “The Bully” Myers from Cleveland scored a second round TKO over Jason Williams from Kentucky. Myers used a wild and unorthodox offense to batter Williams for the TKO stoppage. Myers, who started his boxing career with 2 straight losses, moves his record to an even 2-2 with 2KO’s, Williams drops to 1-1.

In what was the fourth heavyweight bout of the night, Jason “Big Daddy” Massie from Cleveland, scored a second round TKO stoppage over Richard Greene from Indiana. Massie stays undefeated at 2-0, 1KO while Greene drops to 1-1.
