HALLBACK GAVE CISNEROS SERIOUS TROUBLE

Tampa, Fla. — This past Friday at the Tampa Bay Times Forum in Tampa, Florida, two new WBF titleholders were crowned in the two main bouts on Thunder At The Forum Round 2, presented by Panda 5 Star Promotions.

In the main event, Chevelle “Fist Of Steel” Hallback (30-8-2, 13 KOs) won the the vacant WBF Women’s Welterweight title in an action-packed and exciting bout against former foe Victoria Cisneros (11-16-2, 4 KOs). Hallback beat Cisneros by split decision in 2010. And now in 2014 it was a hometown winner as Hallback had something to prove.  The bout featured devastating exchanges by both fighters, Hallback using nice jabs and crosses repeatedly as Cisneros gunned down Hallback’s body pressing her on the ropes all night long.  Hallback battled hard in a brutal back and forth fight.  The end came in round eight when Hallback connected with several overhand rights that hurt Cisneros buckling her three times in the round.  Cisneros who was no longer able to defend herself and was consequently stopped by referee Frank Santore, Jr.  Cisneros who was on her feet when the fight was stopped before another power-punch could do more serious damage. Official time of stoppage was 1:49.

DAWSON-ROUSSEAU POUNDED TO A DRAW

Jr. Welterweights Lee “Holliwood” Dawson (2-2-3, 0 KO’s) traded shots with a tough Berthin Rousseau who came to fight.  First two rounds Rousseau found his spots landing nice combinations to the slow Dawson.  Dawson found a surge in round three landing bombs slowing down Rousseu a bit with a wide hook followed by straight right hands from Dawson,  who did enough to earn the round. In the final round both fighters let their hands go fighting to a 38-38 Draw on all three judges score cards.
