Landmark Hotel in Metairie, Louisiana - Longtime icon in the New Orleans boxing scene, Leslie Bonano brought ballroom boxing back to the Landmark Hotel which once hosted bouts featuring the up and coming careers of the likes of Evander Holyfield and Pernell Whitaker. Using a solid mix of local natives, rising prospects, brawling ladies, heavy handed big men and accomplished veterans, matchmaker JT Klump gave the fight fans competitive exciting bouts that gave them plenty to cheer.
In a stately ballroom under the light of elegant chandeliers, a local product in his professional debut opened up the action taking on a 27 bout veteran. Terry Young from the greater New Orleans area had difficulty at first engaging his veteran opponent, but just as his jab started to find its range early in the 2nd he landed a solid left hand shot sending Cunningham sprawling to the mat. Then with his confidence level raised, the young’un began to methodically break through the survivor’s shell defense and dominate the action again putting Cunningham down in the 4th, this time the punch cutting him over the eyebrow prompting the corner to surrender.
