BY GARY TURNER   jmastalir@yahoo.com

FS1 PREMIER BOXING CHAMPIONS  MAYWEATHER PROMOTIONS  TUESDAY, FEBRUARY 16  @SAM'S TOWN

.

LIVE  SOLD OUT VENUE WITH 1000 IN ATTENDANCE WITH A
GREAT VIEW OF THE RING 

.

10 BOUTS ON THE CARD STARTING EXACTLY ON TIME @
4:10P.M.  BOUTS 5-6-7 WERE ON NATIONAL TV ON FOX SPORTS 1

.

   FOR THE TEN BOUTS, 3 BOUTS HAD A BOXER "QUIT", 5 BOUTS HAD A UNANIMOUS DECISION, ONE BOUT A SPLIT DECISION, AND ONE BOUT HAD A LEGITIMATE KNOCKOUT. 

.

BOUT #9
HAD A GOOD MIDDLEWEIGHT FIGHT WITH 2 WOMEN GOING TOE TO TOE.  IN THE
MAIN EVENT, ALEXIS SANTIAGO WAS IMPRESSIVE IN WINNING WITH SCORES OF
100-90, 99-91, AND 98-92.

.

  HERE ARE SOME RANDOM THOUGHTS FROM THIS REPORTER . 

.

GLAD TO SEE BOYD GAMING GETTING A BOXING EVENT @ ONE OF THEIR PROPERTIES AND HOPE THEY GET MORE; MAYBE COMING BACK TO THE ORLEANS HOTEL AND CASINO. 

.

WE THANK MAYWEATHER PROMOTIONS FOR BEING MEDIA FRIENDLY.  THE NON TV BOUTS WERE IN RAPID SUCCESSION----ALWAYS GOOD NOT TO HAVE DEAD TIME.  THIS 65 1/2 YEAR OLD REPORTER DID HAVE TO WEAR SUNGLASSES (BRIGHT LIGHTS) AND EAR PLUGS (LOUD RAP MUSIC DURING DEAD TIMES) THROUGHOUT THE EVENING.
.

OVERALL A GREAT EVENT @ A GOOD VENUE THAT STARTED ON TIME WITH GOOD
ORGANIZATION BY THE PROMOTERS, THE BOXING COMMISSION, AND THE MEDIA
RELATIONS PEOPLE. 

.

REALLY FIRST CLASS FOR MAYWEATHER PROMOTIONS TO SEND EMAIL COPIES OF THE SCORING OF THE MAIN EVENTS...THANKS
