ShoBox FNF super middleweight prelim co-feature warmed the live audience at Bally's, Atlantic City, with underdog Don "Da Bomb" George taking out unbeaten Cornelius "Da Beast" White with a finishing barrage at 2:02 mark of the opening stanza.

White arrived undefeated at 16 wins capped by 15 via stoppage – George (20-1-1, 17 KOs)  was coming off technical decision loss to Francisco Sierra.

Both quickly meet at center stage working behind the jab … and then nearing the two-minute mark a picture perfect George one-two, finds the target and White is down. Beats the count, but George quickly pounces – and another power right hand finishes a flurry and White once again is on the canvas.

A final barrage capped with the George right hand sees referee Randy Newman giving it the ol’ “no mas” as White is once again on the canvas. Time of contest 2:01 of stanza uno.

Passing thoughts: While both George and White have nice job applications with George at a now 21-1-1, 18 by KO; White 16-1, 15 KOs, last nite’s meeting was a scheduled eight round affair. Secondly, the White rap sheet revealed, of his 15 scalps taken, only three were batting over .500.

Guess here is you put "Da Bomb," "Da Beast" and Sierra in a mini personal round robin you’ll likely fill the joint at each outing; but I see no major league strap taking in the near future.

The main event played to a whole different tune, with young and unbeaten Rico Ramos scoring unanimous decision over tough veteran Alejandro Valdez in a closely contested ten round jr. featherweight affair.

The scoring went unanimous Ramos 97-93, 97-93, 98-92, but the numbers didn’t reflect the many stanzas that were a coin flip that went to the winner.

Ramos at age 23 caught the eye with the better text book style -- mixed his offense with quickness and combination punching – Valdez, a southpaw, tossed leather in bunches but not always finding the target.

Entertaining club fight affair – Valdez at age 27 drops to 23-5-3, 17 KOs - a good test for the new breed “prospects”  -- Ramos a legit prospect among a rich field of 122 pounders. Needs a bit more seasoning before stepping up to contender level.
