Undefeated lightweight Lanardo “Pain Server” Tyner sent a clear message to rival Vernon “Iceman” Paris last night at Donofrio Boxing’s “Fire & Ice” event at the Palace of Auburn Hills, Michigan.
With the injured Paris watching from ringside, Tyner used a fearsome body attack to dispose of normally durable Panamanian Victorio Abadia 1:44 into the first round of the night’s main event.
Credit trainer Frank Tate, as Tyner has been showing steady improvement over the past year. From roots as a crude brawler, the 32 year old has evolved into a highly effective pressure fighter with crowd-pleasing power. He advanced behind a smart jab, manoeuvred Abadia into a corner and floored him with a wind-sapping hook to the body.
Moving in for the kill after Abadia rose still looking for his breath, Tyner fired two more shots to the belt line that put the Panamanian down for good.
Abadia’s corner complained of low blows but most ringside observers felt the KO legitimate.
“The Pain Server” is now 19-0, 11 KOs. Abadia falls to 22-7, 8 KOs.
Negotiations for Tyner and Paris to finally face off are still underway, with a late summer, early fall date projected.
In the co-main event, promising middleweight Brian “The Lion” Mihtar rose to 9-0, 8 KOs by stopping Ukraine’s Mikhail Lyubarsky at 2:38 of the second round.
Mihtar used his quickness to move past the jab of the lanky Lyubarsky and unload with power and precision. A left hook dropped Lyubarsky in round two and a follow-up barrage kept him on the canvas past the count of ten.
Mihtar appears to be sharp again, four fights into his mini-comeback.
Angel Mondujano, of St. John’s, Michigan, is now 1-0, 1 KO after he spoiled the professional debut of crowd favorite Luigi Gjokaj while winning his own.
Gjokaj started out well, sticking and moving behind a fast jab.
However, in round two, he elected to stop moving and before long the heavier handed Mondujano zeroed in with a left hand that put Gjokaj out, face first.
The end came at 2:24.
A couple Michigan veterans got together for a routine six rounder that saw Traverse City’s Chris “Amazing” Grays spoil the comeback of Detroit’s Bernard Harris.
Fighting at super middleweight, Harris lacked the quickness and defensive genius that made him a respected trialhorse in the 140-lb class. Grays used an edge in aggressiveness to take a majority decision (57-57, 59-55, 58-56). It was his first win in ten fights.
Harris falls below .500 at 22-23, 10 KOs. Grays is 7-14, 2 KOs.
Talented newcomer Guillermo Sanchez took every round from tough-as-nails David Maund. Fighting out of Buffalo, New York, Sanchez looks to be a genuine prospect, as he fired sharp combinations with good handspeed and avoided nearly every return shot from Maund.
Maund is a true warrior though. The harder the punches he took, the more it seemed to make him laugh.
Sanchez laughed last, as all three judges had him a winner at 40-36.
In the opening fight of the night, Florida’s Trevor “The Thin Man” Latulas took out Brant, Michigan’s Cory Hall with a body shot at 2:15 of the second round. The two super featherweights were going back and forth in an entertaining scrap when Latulas sunk in the fight finisher.
Hall falls to 0-4. Latulas, trained by boxing legend Howard Davis Jr., is now 2-1, 2 KOs.
