Scypion comes on strong with TKO on Hard Rock boxing card; Son of former ‘Fighter of the Year’ in the 80’s wins, Joe Greene: Still Undefeated

By Sharon Robb South Florida Sun-Sentinel



HOLLYWOOD - With former WIBF featherweight champion Deirdre Gogarty working his corner as head trainer, undefeated 28-year-old junior middleweight Wilford Scypion Jr. made his Florida debut with a fourth-round TKO Wednesday night at the Seminole Hard Rock Live Arena.

On a night where co-main event fighters Joe Greene of New York remained undefeated with a ninth-round TKO over Joshua Okine of Ghana, and former world champion Juan Urango of Colombia knocked out Carlos Vilches in the fourth round in an IBF title eliminator fight, it was the confident, power-punching Scypion (6-0, 6 KOs) who looked most impressive.

Scypion overwhelmed William Ganes of Florence, S.C., from the opening bell, with Gogarty shouting encouragement from the corner.
Just as impressive was hometown favorite David Estrada of Hollywood (22-4, 13 KOs), who knocked out Colombian Alex Quiroz Pacheco at 2:45 of the second round. It was Estrada's first fight in seven months since his loss to Andre Berto.

"I'm back," Estrada said.

Scypion Jr., the son of former world title challenger Wilford Scypion Sr. and grandson of the late Texas Zydeco musician L.C. Donatto, is the first pro Gogarty has worked with after training several amateurs.
