Austin-based Brian Vera was systematically out-boxed in dropping a unanimous decision to Andy Lee Saturday night at the Boardwalk Hall in Atlantic City.  The bout represented a rematch of a March 2008 contest in which Vera shocked the world in upsetting Lee in front of a national audience.  However, this time around vengeance would be Lee’s.  Lee dropped Vera with a hard left hand in the second round and went on to cruise to a ten round unanimous decision. 

Scores were 98-91, 99-90, and 99-90 all in favor of Lee. 

Claiborne Stopped Four

Another North Texas figther appearing on the card was Fort Worth's Kentrell "The Beast Claiborne who tackled undefeated prosepct Sean Monaghan in a six round light heavyweight bout. 

Unfortunately for Claiborne, Monaghan proved to be too much and stopped “The Beast” in the fourth round.  The official time of the stoppage was 0:54 in round four.
