Tsendbaatar Erdenebat W10 Cobia Breedy... Undefeated Olympian Tsendbaatar “Chinggis Khaan” Erdenebat (15-0, 6 KOs), a Mongolian southpaw continued to establish himself as a junior lightweight contender, taking a dominant ten-round unanimous decision over Cobia “Soldier” Breedy (18-2, 8 KOs) of nearby Largo, Maryland, via the Bahamas. Fighting in the ten-round main event at Live! Casino Hotel in Hanover, Maryland on a show presented by ProBox Promotions and NoXcuse Promotions, Erdenebat had too many weapons for the brave, but outgunned Breedy. Erdenebat clearly captured the first four rounds, After enjoying a potentially stronger round five, Breedy was dropped with a right hook/left hook combination to erase his good work. Breedy showed grit and good conditioning by attempting to come on strong against his more skilful opponent in the later rounds, but Erdenebat had too many elite tools to be denied. The scores were 100-89 (twice) and 99-90.
Francois Scarboro Jr. W10 Maxwel Montes ... In the ten-round co-feature, junior lightweight “The Franchise” Francois Scarboro Jr. (14-0, 9 KOs) of Cheverly, Maryland, won a fan-friendly unanimous decision over Managua, Nicaragua’s Maxwel Montes (13-5-1, 7 KOs). After three strong rounds by Scarboro to open the fight, Montes hurt his foe with a left-hand body shot in round four. But, in his typical fashion, Scarboro hit turbo on the engine and came back with his own heavy artillery to finish the session. The quicker Scarboro came back to dominate round five with sharp jabs and clubbing right hands to the head. Back-and-forth war broke out in round six with both men having their moments. Scarboro established the jab early, but Montes finished strongly by stunning his man in his own corner with a body shot and then a series of right hands. A throwback to 80s greats such as Matthew Saad Muhammad and Frank “The Animal” Fletcher, Scarboro is an entertainer first, foregoing his athletic gifts to make his fights dramatic at all costs. The result is a sold-out show with plenty of nail biting for his legion of fans. Scarboro stepped on the gas to punctuate his victory in the final rounds, winning by scores of 99-91 and 98-92 (twice).
