Rodriguez- Collins Decision Changed, TKO Win

[BIGPOPPAPUMP]

Bronx, NY - Joe DeGuardia's Star Boxing announced today that the NYSAC reversed the "No-Contest" decision that was declared after the Delvin Rodriguez 21- 2-1 (12KO's) vs Keenan Collins 12-3-1 (8KO's) bout. The result has been thus changed to a Rodriguez TKO victory. Although punches caused the cut, referee Eddie Claudio called it an accidental head butt. The Rodriguez camp asked the NYSAC to reverse the decision based on clear evidence that the cut was caused by punches and not a headbutt. The August 24th Star Boxing bout was broadcast on ESPN2's Friday Night Fights live from the Utopia Paradise Theatre in the Bronx, NY [details]
