It was a great night of boxing at the beautiful Grand Victoria Rising Sun Casino and Resort by Hyatt in Rising Sun, Indiana. The fights were competitive and entertaining, and here are the results:

In this battle of middleweights the promising Aaron Pryor Jr. annihilated Mark Scott, knocking him  out cold at the 1:44 mark of round one.  Scott came around after what seemed like a couple of minutes, and was checked out and cleared by Indiana's Boxing Commission's physician,  Dr. John Schneider.  The 6' 4" youngster is the son of Hall of Fame boxing legend Aaron "The Hawk” Pryor.

Light welterweight Joseph Pujoe prevailed via unanimous decision over debutant Anthony Cobb. Pujoe had a comfortable lead with the officials, who scored the bout 59-54, 58-55, 60-53.

The outstanding co-main event featured two hot middleweight prospects as 2004 Olympian Dante “The Inferno” Craig, 13-4 (10 KO’s)  clashed with hard hitting Chicago veteran, “Marvelous” Shay Mobley, 12-4-1 (5 KO’s) in a scheduled six round bout. Craig came back from a first round knockdown to beat Shay Mobley via unanimous decision. The judges scored this match  57-56, 57-56 and 58-56.

The main event between lightweights David Diaz and Ramazan Palyani went the distance of 12 rounds, with both fighters giving their best effort,  hoping to capture the vacant IBA lightweight title. It was not meant to be, however, as the judges scored the exciting fight a majority draw, 114-114, 113-115 (Palyani), 114-114.

The heavy handed Palyani, a bronze medalist in the 1992 Olympic Games in Barcelona, Spain remains undefeated with a record of 11-0-1, 5 K0s, while Diaz moves to 29-1-1, with 16 stoppages.

Diaz, a 1996 U.S. Olympic teammate of world champions Floyd Mayweather Jr., Fernando Vargas and David Reid is currently ranked # 8 by the World Boxing Organization. He is riding a three bout winning streak, most recently stopping former world champion Juan Polo Perez by third round technical knockout in the main event at the Savvis Center in St. Louis, Missouri on October 21, 2005. This event at the Grand Victoria Casino and Resort by Hyatt in Rising Sun marks the first ever World Championship Bout on a casino property in Indiana.

The star studded terrific evening of World Championship Boxing was presented by Dominic Pesoli's 8 Count Productions, Octavius James' ONE IN A MILLION INC., and THE GRAND VICTORIA RISING SUN CASINO in Rising Sun, Indiana. On a very cold winter night all parties delivered the goods.
