Briggs
Scores KO at Slug-Out
All
the big names came away with knockout
victories tonight at the All-Heavyweight
Slug-Out event in Fort Smith, Arkansas. In
the main event, former linear heavyweight
champion Shannon Briggs, 44-4- 1 (38 KOs),
scored a first-round knockout over Brian
Scott, 25-7 (16 KOs).
Coming in at the lowest weight, thus far,
in his comeback (254 lbs), Briggs hit
Scott with a hard body shot, followed by a
left hook/right hand to the head that
dropped Scott and caused a severe
laceration. Scott rose, but a follow-up
right hand finished the job.
To the delight of his 2000 fans in
attendance, Arkansas native JD 'The
Natural' Chapman moved his record to
18-0 (17 KOs) by scoring an impressive TKO
2 over now 14-2 (12 KOs) New Yorker John
Carlo. Chapman’s long right hand had
Carlo down in the first and then
again in the second.

Shaun Robinson. Recent David Tua opponent Cisse
Salif, 18-5-2 (17 KOs), scored a 29-second
knockout over Vernon Woodward and finally, in the most exciting fight of the
night, Tommy 'Concrete' Connelly of
Arkansas pulled off a bit of an upset by
winning a majority six-round decision over Milton
