Davis wins pro debut and Tolliver
is upset in sizzling Friday Night Fights at the Roxy!
By Marc DeLamater
April 19, 2003
Last night fight fans in Atlanta
got more than their money's worth in the second Friday Night Fights at the
Roxy card last night in Atlanta, Georgia. This nine-bout card was a
crowd-pleasing affair held at this popular Buckhead venue, which marked
the pro debut of top female amateur Janaya "Jai" Davis.
As an amateur, Davis, 158, won three national titles in 2002 while fellow
debuter Mariem Punchenella Brakache, 155, a native of Morocco, had
competed in kickboxing events in Holland before immigrating to the United
States. Davis used her reach and jab to good effect, tattooing her
opponent's face, while Brakache kept up the pressure throughout this
highly competitive four-round middleweight match-up. The final decision
was 40-36 on all cards.
This evening's card was capped by an upset loss of hot welterweight
prospect and local favorite Xavier "The X-Man" Tolliver to Richard Lee
Hall of Bayboro, North Carolina.
Special thanks goes to David Oblas and Austin Wingo of Undisputed
Productions, LCC, for putting together this entertaining card, which had
an attendance of 900. |
