New England's heat wave came indoors at Foxwoods Resort & Casino on Friday night when heavyweights Lawrence Clay-Bey (in blue w/red trunks) and Derek Bryant (in black trunks) rumbled for ten grueling rounds and ended up with a majority draw...

 

Throughout the fight Clay-Bey was able to pull the close rounds by landing the more infrequent but more damaging punches.  Derek Bryant outworked Clay-Bey repeatedly with flurries, but the Philly heavyweight's punches barely moved the bigger man..

 

 

 

Clay-Bey celebrates too soon...                                          Bryant's dissatisfied smile shows how he feels about the draw.

Delvin Rodriguez (above in white w/red trunks) of Danbury, CT, scored a scary first round knockout over Luther Smith (face down above) of Washington, DC.

Lenord Pierre of Catskill NY scored the second most impressive kayo of the night when he left Les Ralston sauntering about on Queer Street in round six after a shelling that ended with a monstrous left hook...

 

Lenord Pierre (above) celebrates...                                 Matt Remillard (in red trunks above) beat Orville Hodge (in black trunks above) by second round TKO.  

Hodge fought on the run from the opening bell, his chin pointing up toward the cheap seats and presenting an easy target for the aggressive Remillard...

 

Boston's Mark Clancy (in green trunks) received a gift decision in the night's walkout bout.  Four largely uninteresting rounds saw Duane White (above in black trunks) avoid just about everything Clancy threw save for a pair of big rights in round one.   Clearly getting the benefit of the New England location, Clancy got the nod from two of three judges with scores of 39-37 while the third saw it 38-38...
