Broadway Boxing replay schedule announced
Press Release: Starting tonight, boxing fans around the country can see the DiBella Entertainment show that had the Manhattan Center crowd buzzing in New York City last week. Marcos Primera proved that you can still be a warrior even with a bad record as the 20-15-2 veteran staged one of the most shocking comebacks you'll ever see in a non-championship level fight. Primera was brought into New York to face previously undefeated Curtis Stevens, and Primera soon found himself with a gash under his eye in the first round and absorbing many of Stevens' bombs... but he kept trying. Eventually, Primera hurt Stevens and seemed about to turn the momentum but then Primera received a low blow that left even hardened boxing observers winicing in discomfort. Primera was left in a world of agony, crawling around on all fours with tears in his eyes from the pain. No one would have blamed him for taking his check and going home at that point, but Primera gathered himself and came back to floor Stevens and win by technical knockout just a round and a half later. Stevens' team argues that the referee should have separated the two fighters instead of stopping the fight, as Stevens had one of Primera's arms tied up at the time and was not on the verge of going down. Catch the replay of this shocker and decide for yourself.
