Main St. Fighters..... Battle At York

York PA. Two Main St. Gym boxers traveled to York PA last Friday evening to compete on a Profession-Amateur card. Both Ryan Watson, an open class middleweight and Shawn Woodford an open class 152lb, were successful in winning their bouts over Babar Shah of Lincoln Way Gym in York and Ramses Brown of Combat Gym in Bell Mawr N.J. respectively. Woodford scored two standing 8 counts as his opponent regrouped from a barrage of Woodford punches, while Watson scored a unanimous decision win. “We were called to fill in on this pro-am card at the last minute, but the guys were ready” said Coach Hal Chernoff. “Usually when you go into your opponent’s hometown it’s like swimming upstream, you can get there but is harder to get the job done. You don’t want the bout to be close if you can help it, so you might have to take some chances to win convincingly.” Chernoff added.

Both boxers are slated to compete in Salisbury on Sat January 19th at the Main St Gym, along with other Main St boxers matching up wit fighter from around the east coast.
