Bob Duffy's Ring Promotions Brings a Night of Full Ko's to Plattduetsche Park Restaurant Franklin Square, New York

On a fight card promoted as "Bombs Away Long Island" despite losing it's main event when unbeaten light heavyweight Ronson Frank's opponent couldn't make weight and undefeated Long Island banger Cletus Seldin's opponent had his own problems but the Bob Duffy Ring Promotions card done in association with Winner Takes All Productions still filled the bill.

Being bumped up into the main event Mastic, Shirley Long Island light heavyweight Joe "The Irish Bomber" Smith Jr. continued his heavy handed ways recording his third straight stoppage disposing off Akron, Ohio's rugged James Denson in the opening stanza of their scheduled six rounder.

Smith, trained by the fighting Capobianco brother's Phil and Gerry used a patient approach setting up the shorter Denson with drilling jabs adding a looping right around Denson's high guard backing him to the corner for a volley of brutal power shots to both sides, up and down prompting referee Arthur Mercante Jr. to call it at 1:54 of round one.

Smith holding dynamite in both hands and always finding it hard to find opponents climbs to 10-1, 10Ko's with his only defeat coming after fighting almost three full rounds with a severely fractured jaw back August 2010. Denson drops to 5-9, 2Ko's.

In the co-feature Long Beach, Long Island unbeaten southpaw lightweight Michael "Lefty" Brooks held onto his zero tracking down Toledo, Ohio's roaming"Gladiator" Calvin Pritchard in the second round with drilling a well placed left to Pritchards midsection depositing him on the canvas for good at 2:59 of the second round.

Brooks who won a unanimous four round decision over Pritchard in their first meeting September 2010 advances to 7-0, 2Ko's while the winless Pritchard falls to 0-6.

Opening the action Queens, NY's featherweight Trevis Hall measured Brooklyn's debuting Nieem Harris in round one of their scheduled four rounder with long jabs until backing him to the ropes in round two for a well timed left hook to the temple right hand to the throat ending the action at 1:45 of round two. Hall improves to 201, 1Ko leaving Harris still in search of his first pro victory.

Garden City, NY welterweight Rich "Kid Brazil" Neves fought through the clutching grabbing style of Guyama, Puerto Rico's Jose Angel Ortiz finally breaking through with a drilling body shot dropping him to a knee ending the action at 0:57 of round four.

Fort Worth Texas 21 year old unbeaten light middleweight Skender Halili now fighting out of the Bronx, NY remained perfect stopping Tampa, Florida southpawBrian Meadows in two. Halili starting behind an educated jab floored Meadows with a clean lead right in round one methodically broke Meadows down with a concentrated body attack closing the show with a thudding left hook to the body at 1:31 of round two. Hali stays perfect at 5-0, 5Ko's as Meadows drops to 0-3-2.

Bellport, Long Island' cruiserweight Adam Willett returned to his winning ways quickly solving then disposing of Brooklyn, NY's unorthodox and overmatched late replacement Justin Warren with a heavy looping left at 1:40 of round one. Willett advances to 3-1-1, 1Ko as Warren dropping his hard matched pro debut heads back to the gym at 0-1.

Hicksville, Long Island amateur star welterweight Anthony Karparis converted his pro debut with a one sided pounding of Muskegon, Michigan's Cody "The Ghost" Osborne. The well tanned and conditioned Long Islander started fast using his superior speed and power softening up "The Ghost" with driving body shots then closing the show with a thunderous counter right at 2:14 of round one. Karparis off to a solid start at 1-0, 1Ko leaves Osborne winless at 0-2.

Victor Conte statement about Andre Berto's positive drug test

I had absolutely nothing to do Andre Berto's positive drug test for nandrolone.

Andre enrolled in the VADA drug testing program in early 2012. While using my nutritional products and protocols Andre's blood and urine were randomly tested twice before his recent bicep injury and all tests were negative. After his positive test was revealed, Andre admitted that he recently took some supplements that were not provided by me and did so without my knowledge. It is possible that one these supplements was contaminated with trace amounts of nandrolone and caused his positive test result. My understanding is that an investigation is being conducted in an attempt to determine the culprit. I was the person who encouraged Andre to enroll in the VADA program and I will continue to encourage athletes to do so. There have been hundreds of nandrolone positive drug tests in the past that I believe were a result of contaminated supplements. Nandrolone is the longest lasting anabolic steroid known to man and therefore it is unlikely that any elite athlete would ever use it in and attempt to cheat. However, the strict liability rule makes an athlete responsible for whatever is in their body regardless of how it got there. I do my best to help athletes to make good choices, but unfortunately they do not always listen to my advice.
