Between the unexpected snowstorm affecting all major events in the Dallas area, a pissing match with the Texas Boxing Commission and being extended the distance for the first time in his young career, last week turned out to be one to forget for unbeaten middleweight Charles Hatley.
After having scored ten straight knockouts to begin his career, a Hatley opponent managed to hear the final bell when late sub Marcus Brashears managed to last all eight rounds against the 2008 U.S. Olympic alternate last Thursday at Showroom At Gilley’s in Dallas.
Despite being taken the distance by a scrappy journeyman, it was hardly the toughest battle Hatley was forced to endure last week.
