Boxing Report: Chris Algieri Improves to 15-0 By SecondsOut, special to Doghouse Boxing (July 30, 2012) Doghouse Boxing - Tweet
By SecondsOut.com on Doghouse Boxing. Jerry Glick reporting: Star Boxing’s promoter Joe DeGuardia and
matchmaker Ron Katz did it right. They put on a show that had the
packed house at the Paramount Theater in Huntington, Long Island, NY
screaming for more. The six fight show featured three one round
knockouts and three decisions.
Prospect Chris Algieri, the centerpiece of DeGuardia’s Long Island
shows, had his hands full with trial horse Raul Tovar of Mission TX, but
came out an easy winner of a unanimous eight round decision.
Algieri, 15-0 (7 KOs), threw more punches and would counter any
combinations that Tovar tossed his way with a flurry of his own. He
said after the fight that he expected Tovar, 142 pounds, to come to him,
but instead Chris had to chase him and when Tovar, 10-6-1 (4 KOs),
stopped long enough to throw punches, Algieri, also 142 pounds, tried to
take advantage of the opportunity to land some of his punches.
The Judges scored it 78-74 and 77-75 twice all for Algieri. Arthur Mercante refereed.

Cletus Seldin, 145, Long Island, NY, 8-0 (6 KOs),won by a one round
