All good things sometimes have to come to an end. Friday night before a
packed house at the Valencia Ballroom in York, PA, Carney “Beeper”
Bowman, 16-1 (7), lost for the first time by split decision to Ramesi
Gil, 8-4-5 (5), of Santo Domingo, DR, over 6 rounds in the lightweight
division. A&D Promotions had their scheduled 5 bouts cut to 3
following a 6 bout amateur show but the fans enjoyed every minute of
it. Julio Alvarez was the promoter and Chuck Bayley the matchmaker.
Bowman
has to learn boxing is not a part time business. It had been 20 months
since his last fight and per his trainer Julio Alvarez, “Carney was
sick this morning.” Bowman’s father/ass’t trainer Carney, Sr. kept
yelling to his son to “get up on your toes” but there didn’t seem to be
the normal energy in his son Friday night. He is not a puncher but a
very good boxer and he just couldn’t out maneuver his opponent. Gil
kept to the body all night but caused a cut on Bowman’s right eye brow
in the 5th round. Gary Rosato was the referee. Scores were 58-56 John
Grabowski for Bowman, 58-56 John Castellani and 59-55 Dave Braswell both
for Gil. DHB writer Ken Hissner had it 57-57 a draw while Dave Ruff
had it 58-56 for Gil. Bowman had little to say outside of
acknowledging he was not himself physically. His fans surrounded him
and seem to be sticking by him.
In a competitive 4 round light
welterweight bout York’s Jesus Saucedo, 4-0-1 (1), knew he was in a
fight but took over in the 2nd round with body shots from both
hands. Much taller than his opponent Alberto Manukyan, 0-1 (0), making
his debut. Saucedo took over in the 2nd round cutting the right eyebrow
of his opponent in the 3rd round. In the final round Saucedo had to
chase his opponent down who was looking to go the distance and protect
the cut. Rosato was the referee.
Castellani and Grabowski had it 40-36 while Braswell had it 39-37. DHB had it 40-36 for the winner Saucedo.
The
opening bout had Harrisburg, PA, featherweight Josh “Boutit” Bowles,
5-0 (0), looking like the amateur star of the past in probably showing
his best performance easily handling Joshua Arocho, 1-6-2, of Vineland,
NJ, over 4 rounds. To his credit Arocho was trying at all times and had
his best round in the 4th though it didn’t seem he pulled it
out. Bowle’s trainer Darryl Martin, a former PA state champion seemed
pleased with his boxer’s performance as did Bowles. “I felt good in
there,” said Bowles. At 26 he has had no problem keeping the weight
under 126.
Rosato was the referee. Grabowski had it 39-37
while Braswell and Castellani along with DHB had it a shutout 40-36 for
Bowles. He is a good prospect who had plenty of fans and family at
ringside. The ring announcer was Rick Stepina. This show was
originally scheduled in July with York’s Stevie Weimer, 8-0 (2) in the
main event. Former York lightweight Eric Nemo walked both Saucedo and
Bowman to the ring. Nemo finished his career (for now) in 2010 at
10-1-1 (4) only losing to then future world champion Juan Manuel Lopez
in 2005. Thanks to people like the promoter Julio Alvarez, he has kept
boxing alive in York. Boxing returned to York in 2008 after a 12 year
absence and have had 8 shows in the last 4 years of which 5 have been at
the Valencia Ballroom with 3 shows outdoors. Bowman has been in the
main event in 5 of those 8 shows including the 2008 return to York.
