Six members of the Split-T Management team
displayed winning performances this past Friday night at the 2300
Arena in Philadelphia (11/10/2023). Those members include Sonny
Conto, LeAnna Cruz, Greg Outlaw, Dante Benjamin, Haven Brady Jr. and
Oshae Jones. "Split-T Showcase" which was promoted by King's
Promotions, drew a capacity crowd to the 2300 Arena on a card that
featured some of the best up and coming talent in the country.
CONTO EARNS DECISION
The main event saw local favorite Sonny Conto win a six-round
unanimous decision over Detrailous Webster in a heavyweight fight.
Conto worked behind a nice jab and rocked Webster on several
occasions. Conto looked sharp considering that he was making his
2023 debut.
Conto of Philadelphia won by scores of 60-54 on
all cards (by Dewey LaRosa, Tony Lundy, and Steve Weisfeld) and is
now 12-0. Webster of Courtland, Mississippi is now 6-3. Conto is
promoted by Top Rank. The referee was Eric Dali.
CRUZ WINS NABF BELT
LeAnna Cruz captured her first title as she won the NABF junior
bantamweight title with an emphatic eight-round unanimous decision
over Tania Walters. Cruz moved around the ring with grace and landed
slick combinations which led to a win by scores of 79-73 twice
(Dewey LaRosa and Steve Weisfeld) and 78-74 (Tony Lundy). Cruz of
Allentown, PA is now 7-0. Walters of Toronto is 4-3. The referee was
Shawn Clark.
OUTLAW WINS IN ONE
Greg Outlaw stopped Sebastian Gabriel Chaves in the opening round of
their six-round welterweight fight. Outlaw, dominant in his Split-T
debut, lived up to his "Sharpshooter" moniker and got the stoppage
at 2:47 of the first round. The referee was Eric Dali. Outlaw of
Bowie, Maryland is now 13-2 with seven knockouts. Chaves of Buenos
Aires Argentina is 5-7 with two knockouts.
BENJAMN REMAINS UNDEFEATED
Dante Benjamin Jr. remained undefeated with a first-round stoppage
over previously undefeated Darin Austin in their scheduled six-round
light heavyweight bout. Benjamin dropped Austin twice and the fight
was stopped at 2:14 by referee Shawn Clark. The Top-Rank promoted
Benjamin, of Cleveland, is now 8-0-1 with six knockouts. Austin of
Atlanta is now 11-1 with 8 knockouts.
BRADY STILL UNDEFEATED
Haven Brady remained undefeated with an entertaining six-round
unanimous decision over veteran Deivi Julio in a junior lightweight
bout. Brady dropped Julio twice in round two and was close to
getting a stoppage. Julio put Brady on the canvas in round four
which was the result of Brady being off-balance. Brady closed the
show in fine fashion as he hurt and dropped Julio again in the sixth
and final round. The referee was Eric Dali. Brady, of Albany,
Georgia, won by scores of 58-52 on all cards (Tony Lundy, Kevin
Morgan, and Steve Weisfeld) and is now 11-0 with four knockouts.
Julio of Colombia is 26-15 with 16 knockouts.
ELLIS DEFEATS CLARKE
Ali Ellis remained undefeated by pounding out a four-round unanimous
decision over Nicoy Clarke in a heavyweight bout. Scores were 40-35
on all cards (Dewey LaRosa, Tony Lundy, and Steve Weisfeld). Ellis,
of Philadelphia, is now 5-0 with three knockouts. Clarke of Jersey
City, NJ is 3-9 with one knockout. The referee was Shawn Clark.
JONES WINS NABF TITLE
Oshae Jones won the NABF junior middleweight title with a
first-round stoppage of Samantha Pill. Jones was aggressive and hurt
Pill early in the opening frame. With Pill in trouble, Jones was all
over Pill and battered her until the bout was stopped at 1:39 of the
first-round by referee Eric Dali. Jones. of Toledo, Ohio, is 5-0
with one knockout. Pill. of Fairmont, West Virginia, is 5-3 with one
knockout.
