Double Dynamite at the Fairgrounds
Saturday night Sal Musumeci’s Final Forum Boxing presented an outstanding event at the Orange County Fairgrounds in Middletown, New York. The main event featured two undefeated super middleweights, John Duddy of County Derry, Ireland against Victor Paz of the Bronx, N.Y. The first round opened with both fighters’ letting fists fly with authority. Early on Paz landed a solid blow that appeared to get Duddy’s attention. Paz seemed to gain confidence and made the error of trading shots with the heavy-handed Duddy. The end came at 2:04 of the 1st round when Duddy’s left hook dropped Paz, causing Referee Pete Santiago to halt the bout. Duddy is now 5-0-0 (5Ko’s) and Paz goes to 7-1-0 (1Ko)
