PHILADELPHIA- In front of an enthusiastic crowd at The National Guard Armory, WBA #9 Ranked Light Heavyweight, Yusaf Mack unveiled a piston-like jab over the first five rounds to keep Omar Pittman in check until Mack unleashed a right hand assault that was capped off by a thudding knockdown and subsequent stoppage at 2:59 of round six to capture both the NABA and Pennsylvania state Light Heavyweight championships.
When asked about the knockout, a jubilant Mack responded, "When I saw him getting tired, his hands were dropping and the right hand was working. Everyone knows that my right is the helicopter."
That fight capped a championship doubleheader that saw Derrick “Pooh” Ennis score a convincing ten round unanimous decision over Troy Browning to secure the Pennsylvania State & USBA Regional Jr. Middleweight title by scores 100-90, 100-90 and 98-92.
