Grano takes the rematch from oaktree !!!

This past Friday night Mark "Oaktree" Brown (15-3, 7ko's) let one slip away as over cautiously contested Tony Grano (17-1, 13ko's) at the Foxwoods casino in Connecticut. Oaktree refused to punch early but once he decided to let it fly in the 10th and final round - he almost knocked Grano clean out of the ring. Video of Brown landing the "super punch" is below.

The late knockdown wasn't enough as this contest which was filled with mauling and wrestling went to the score cards and read in favor of the CT native by tallies of 98-91 and 97 - 92 x 2. 

"Brace For Impact," was presented by Jimmy Burchfield's Classic Entertainment & Sports

It was a good run for Oaktree who said this very well may be his final fight as a pro boxer. The 41 year old Salem, NJ native is interested in pursuing a carrer in the MMA....

USS Cunningham vs. Matt Godfrey on Friday Night Fights March 26!!!

"Champ again in 2010" is the new year motto of Team Cunningham.  They get a chance to fulfill this quest in front of a live national audience as ESPN will air the IBF Cruiserweight title fight between Steve "USS' Cunningham (22-2, 1ko's) and Matt Godfrey (20-1, 10ko's). This Friday Night Fights main event bout will take place at the Bank Atlantic Center in Sunrise Florida on March 26th.

A title fight has been a long time coming for Team Cunningham as they were dipped, dodged and flat out avoided by former champ Tomasz Adamek, who relinquished the belt rather than grant a rematch of their tight encounter from December 2008.

Since that fight USS has only boxed once - a 12 round unanimous decision win over sturdy veteran Wayne Braithwaite in Florida. Perseverance has prevailed and Cunningham is now in the drivers seat with an opportunity to be champion with recognition as the top Cruiserweight in the world.

Godfrey has been groomed to be a champ since the beginning. He was a top amateur and then moved carefully through the ranks since turning pro in 2004. There have been a few speed bumps along the way but he was able to stay in position to land a fight of this magnitude. You may be familiar with Godfrey as he  fought in this town last year winning a 12 round snooze against Shawn Hawk.

It will be interesting to see how this fight plays out in the ring as both are more traditional boxers instead of action initiating sluggers. If anything - Cunningham has more experience in the pro ranks against the higher echelon of competition. Word around the ring is that he has been training in Big Bear California with Nazeem Richardson to prepare for this fight. Good luck to Team USS - More on this fight to come soon!
