October 28, 2005 - Washington Avenue Armory, Albany, NY

A sell-out crowd of 2,500 saw Lenord “The Haitian Sensation” Pierre (18-1, 13 KOs, Catskill, NY) win by TKO over veteran contender Tony Marshall (37-13-6, 13 KOs, Albany, NY) on Pugnacious Promotions’ October 28th  boxing card at the Washington Avenue Armory in Albany, NY. 

Referee Eddie Claudio stopped the bout on the advice of the physician at ringside between the seventh and eighth rounds.  Pierre stalked Marshall from the opening bell, throwing wide hooks and crosses, and knocked Marshall down in the second.  Marshall moved behind the jab and landed some good shots early.  As Marshall’s movement slowed and Pierre shortened his punches, Pierre landed more frequently and caught Marshall on the ropes.  

In separate bouts, heavyweights Shannon Miller  (12-1, 6 KOs, Troy, NY) and Gary Wilcox (19-3-1, 6 KOs, Saratoga Springs, NY) won six-round unanimous decisions.  Miller faced tough ring veteran Harold Rodriguez (6-15, 2 KOs, Taunton, MA.) in his return to the ring after the fight ranked second in ESPN2/”Friday Night Fights’ “Top Five Fights” of 2005 against power-puncher Vinny Maddalone (23-3, 18 KOs, Flushing, NY).  Wilcox, in his second fight as a heavyweight after contending at cruiserweight, faced a veteran of more 60 pro fights, Dennis McKinney (27-33-1, 13 KOs. Columbia, SC).

In four-round undercard bouts, Eduardo Torres (2-3, 1 KO, Puerto Rico) won by majority decision over pro debuter Damian Rinaldi (0-1), Syracuse, NY   Richard Pearson (1-0, Patterson, NJ) won by TKO in the first over another Syracuse native, Ron Lewis (0-1), also in his first pro fight.  Highland, NY junior welterweight Hervey Medina (5-0-1, 2 KOs) won by third round TKO over Marco Mayorga (0-2, Brentwood, N.Y). 

The Capital District Military Family Support Group, a grass-roots organization that educates and supports local military families and the community about the needs of families facing deployment and re-integration, helped Pugnacious Promotions acknowledge the 101st Calvary, who just returned from a tour of duty in Iraq.  Soldiers received complimentary tickets to the show and were recognized in the ring.   The support group received 100% of the proceeds of raffles held at the event.
