Peltz Boxing and Joe Hand Promotions recovered nicely from the main event fall out of Elvin Alaya. Alaya decided he wanted time off and that moved the Chad Brisson vs. Russell Jones Junior Middleweight 10-round bout to the main event. The new main event on Friday was the fight of the night and it started early as Jones was stunned a bit from a right slightly after the bell to end the 1st round and got hurt by a left hook to the body in the 2nd. Jones (138¾ lbs) had a delayed reaction as he sagged to the canvas after that left hook. After rising his answer was a right to Brisson’s body that almost equaled the knockdown count. Brisson, 138 lbs, had the better combinations during the bout, while Jones loaded up on the lead right hand too much. Toward the end of the 10 rounder, Brisson was backing off of Jones so Russell moved forward and did well for himself. However it was too little too late. Although Brisson’s left eye was swollen and showed two minor cuts he got the unanimous decision to improve to 21-2. The official count was 99-91, 97-92 and 96-93. Boxingscene tallied a total of 97-92 for Brisson.
