Brown wins Clash of the Irons
Raye, who like Brown hails from Jamaica, had already taken a mandatory '8 count’ from referee Milton Creque in the second round (of ten) and was down again early in the third following a series of crunching body blows by Brown.
Some more pummeling against the ropes by Brown and it was all over for Raye as the Referee stepped in to stop the fight.
“I’m very happy, he was a tough opponent, but I landed some hard hits and it was enough,” commented Brown.
‘I never quit!’
Raye was slightly more philosophical in defeat and confused as to why the referee had stepped in so soon.
“He caught me a punch in my solar plexus and I took a knee in the third round, but was surprised when the ref stopped the fight. I’m a Boxer, a fighter and I never quit. The second time I went down it was because I slipped and I got up quickly, but the referee decided to stop the fight soon after that.”
Meanwhile, Brown said he could have finished the bout earlier but he prolonged it to ensure the audience got a show for their dollar.
“Well this is Iron Fist, and although the hits look soft to the audience they are hard in the ring. Only his head his hard, not his body. I wanted to finish it sooner, but I didn’t want people to waste their money so had to put on a show,” concluded Brown.
