W.D. Packard Music Hall, in Ohio, USA – 29 January 2022

Southpaw Johnnie Langston (10-3, 4 KOs, 1 NC), of Sarasota, Fla., earned the NABA cruiserweight belt by thoroughly dominating Nick Kisner (22-6-1), 6 KOs), of Baltimore, Md., en route to a fifth-round TKO. Unfazed by his counterpart’s decision to alternate as both a righty and lefty, the fighting Floridian recorded his first knockdown when a flurry of unanswered punches sent Kisner to one knee at 29 seconds of the fifth round.

With the battling Baltimorean’s gloves up and displaying no signs of fighting back, Langston forced his opponent to one knee for a second time less than 30 seconds later. After Kisner nearly went down again and somehow remained upright despite wobbly legs, the 32-year-old Langston rushed forward and unleashed yet another barrage of unanswered punches before referee George Nichols stopped the bout at 1:40 of the fifth round.

“I knew that Kisner was slick, Langston said in the ring after. “I just put the punches together and started landing. When he (Kisner) switched back and forth and went southpaw, I landed the overhand left and followed it up with the right uppercut.”

Utilizing a 60-pound weight advantage, DaCarree Scott (7-0, 6 KOs), of Decatur, GA., captured the vacant NABA Gold Heavyweight title by registering a 10-round split decision over Ahmed Hefny (13-2, 5 KOs), of Alexandria, Egypt, via Queens, N.Y. Judge Brian Kennedy scored the bout 96-94 for Hefny, while Jamie Garayua and Nathan Palmer had it 96-94 and 97-93 respectively for Scott.

Despite fighting three more rounds than he had in his six other pro fights combined and watching his six-bout knockout streak come to an end, the 23-year-old Scott pressed the action, working on the inside, landing body punches and brutal blows to his opponent’s head. Despite suffering a bad cut to his left eye due to an accidental headbutt early in the fourth and dealing with constant blood flow throughout the final six rounds, Hefny utilized an orthodox fighting style to rally and momentarily stun Scott with seconds to go in the eighth.

“I knew I could go 10 rounds,” Scott said. “It wasn’t a problem. The cut was a punch. He (Hefny) was missing punches, holding, and grabbing. I worked so hard. I deserve this title.”

Opening the six-championship fight card, southpaw Newburg, N.Y. native Tre’Sean Wiggins (13-5-3, 7 KOs) secured the vacant NABA welterweight title by scoring a third-round TKO over Cody Wilson (10-4, 7 KOs).

Controlling the action from the opening bell, Wiggins recorded a knockdown with 10 seconds remaining in the second round by landing a flurry of punishing left hands to the head that sent his counterpart flailing against the ropes. After Wilson survived the round, Wiggins sent the Fairmont, W. Va., resident to the canvas with a devastating straight left hand at 1:41 of the third. Eight seconds later, referee Lonnie Scott stepped in and stopped the contest at 1:33.

“Everything went right,” Wiggins said. “I am the man in charge right now. This is only the beginning. I knocked the door down, now I am running through.”

In the walkout bout following the main event, Michael Moore (19-3, 8 KOs) of Cleveland, pitched a near shutout over Anthony Lenk (17-8, 7 KOs) of Niagara Falls, N.Y., earning a 10-round unanimous decision. The three judges all scored the bout 99-91. The NABA middleweight title was on the line for Lenk only, as Moore weighed in over the 160-lb. limit and was not eligible to win the vacant crown.

Veteran boxing announcer and Florida Boxing Hall of Famer Bob Alexander, as well as former WBA lightweight champion Mancini called the action for the pay-per-view broadcast.
