Traietti triumphs as promoter, matchmaker and fighter By Mark Vaz at ringside Courtesy of FightNews.com Granite Chin Boxing presented their fifth event at the Marina Bay SportsPlex in Quincy, MA, this past Saturday with a card featuring Worcester, MA featherweight prospect Irvin Gonzales plus hometown Chris Traietti against Alfredo Trevino of Sonora, Mexico, in a ten-round bout for the WBU Americas Cruiserweight Championship.... Traietti (23-4, 18 KOs) doing triple duty as promoter, matchmaker and headliner opened the bout working behind a strong jab, looking from the start to setup his most effective shot, a left hook to the body. Trevino (8-2-1, 1 KO) attempted to avoid it by jabbing and circling clockwise, taking Traietti’s leverage away from the hook but absorbing quick right cross counters in the process. Listening to his corner between rounds, Traietti made the adjustment and stepped to the right, cutting Trevino off and pinning him on the ropes where he was able to unleash a sustained body attack, dropping Trevino with shots that caused the crowd to wince in sympathy with Travino’s pain. Showing pluck, Trevino managed to regain his feet twice, however he finally succumbed to the clean shots. Referee Leo Gerstel stopped the bout after the third knockdown at 2:30 of round two. With the victory, Traietti captures the WBU Americas Cruiserweight Championship.

WBU World Heavyweight championship fight from the Videotron Centre in Quebec City Friday night: Heavyweight Adam Braidwood (7-1) traveled from Edmonton for his ...chance at immortality in contesting for the WBU World Heavyweight title and scored the biggest win in his career, knocking down Eric Martel Baholeli (11-7-1) twice in the 5th round for the TKO victory to capture the gold and the title. Wisdom was that the longer this one went, the more it favored the more experienced Bahoeli, and indeed it was the local Quebec fighter in control over the first three rounds. Braidwood though would start to dominate physically in the 4th, in fact almost pushing Bahoeli completely out of the ring when the two locked heads together. Braidwood took full advantage of the upper hand and never relented for the duration, almost stopping his opponent as the 4th. The beginning of the 5th was delayed as the ringside physician examined a cut caused by a head butt under Braidwood's eye but saying he would allow one more round before stopping but the extra time wasn’t nearly enough for Bahoeli who went down rather easily from an equally exhausted Braidwood. Bahoeli managed to climb to his feet but was visibly wobbly and glassy-eyed and the bout was wisely called. Canada now has its own World Heavyweight Champion and he is called "The Boogeyman" See more
