By Jake Donovan - Bracket season is back for boxing fans, as Boxcino returns following a successful run with ESPN2 Friday Night Fights in its 2014 debut. This year's tournament focuses on the super welterweight (154 lb.) and heavyweight divisions.
Brandon Adams and Stanyslav Sorokhod were big knockout winners on Friday evening at Mohegan Sun in Uncasville, Connecticut. Also advancing to the semifinals were John Thompson and Vito Gasparyan, who scored upset decision wins sandwiched in between the aforementioned knockouts .
From the moment the finals came to a close for the Boxcino 2014 Middleweight finals, Brandon Adams hoped for a second chance. The Los Angelino now has that opportunity, dropping down one weight class, where he is now a considerable favorite to take the Boxcino 2015 Super Welterweight bracket.
Adams took care of business in the ring, scoring a spectacular 5th round knockout of Alex Perez to cap the Boxcino 2015 Quarterfinals action.
If there was a downside to the evening, it's that none of the bouts were very competitive. The makeshift main event of the bout was no exception, though that was due to the skill set of Adams, who was way too much for Newark's Perez, a career welterweight who - on paper and in reality - was a fish out of water in this tournament.
