By Cliff Rold - In a spirited main event between quality rising young Jr. Featherweights, 25-year old Teon Kennedy (17-1-2, 7 KO) of Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, and 25-year old Christopher Martin (23-1-3, 6 KO) of Chula Vista, California, both managed to avoid a second consecutive defeat in their careers. Instead, they settled for a dramatic draw over ten rounds on Friday night at the Hard Rock Hotel and Casino in Las Vegas, Nevada.
Both men weighed in a half-pound below the division limit of 122 lbs. The referee was Jay Nady.
Martin landed first after a few misses from both, a single quick left jab. Kennedy responded by moving forward with his own left lead. They traded jabs, Martin pushing an off balance right uppercut and missing with a wide left hook. Both men missed big shots near the ropes, both men struggling with timing each other. Kennedy blocked a three-punch combination, and then took a shot to the body, in the closing seconds. [Click Here To Read More]
