Brandon Moore W5 Stanley Wright... Rising American heavyweight Brandon Moore (18-1, 10 KOs) triumphed in the main event of “Hall of Fame Fight Night,” live on DAZN at the Turning Stone Resort Casino in Verona, New York. Moore faced undefeated Stanley Wright (14-1, 11 KOs). A member of Salita Promotions’ heavyweight roster, Moore scored a second -ound knockdown over Wright. Moore sustained a cut above his eye from an accidental clash of heads in the third round, causing the fight being stopped in the fifth round and going to the judges’ scorecards. Moore secured the victory via unanimous decision, extending his winning streak to four. The scorecards read 49-45 and 50-44 (twice).
Moore said afterwards: “These guys can’t get around my jab. I could tell from the beginning that Wright was jumping in and taking a lot of risks. I want to be the best heavyweight in the United States, and then I’ll go after those English guys... I’m a sexy heavyweight. I come in, look good, and win fights. The guys that I’m fighting might be intimidated by me. I’m American, big, tall, and black. You can’t really beat that. That’s what I bring to the table.”
He continued, “I wish this fight wasn’t stopped. I wanted to get him out of there. You saw that knockdown in the second round. It was only a matter of time. I knew he was going to get up because he is a fighter, but I’m just surprised the referee didn’t stop the fight. He did not look good. I want to go through the long rounds and get that experience. But a win is a win and I’m in the point in my career where I need to take care of myself and everyone knew I was going to win that fight.”
