?Sugar? Ray Wins In Round 2

Rising lightweight star and NABC champion ?Sugar? Ray Narh of Pittsburgh, Pa. by way of Ghana, dazzled the crowd at the luxurious Allegheny Ballroom of the Four Points Sheraton in Mars, Pa by knocking out Reggie Nash at 1:56 of Round 2.

Narh pressured Nash early on in Round 1 in a display of fantastic ring generalship by continuously backing his much shorter opponent into the ropes. Midway through the opening round, Narh landed a thumping right hook to the body that set up a perfectly timed left hook to the chin scoring the first knockdown of the night. Reggie Nash survived the round by moving quickly around the ring, avoiding more unnecessary damage.

In Round 2, Narh continued his commanding performance by once more forcing his opponent to the ropes where he landed a crushing left hook that dropped Nash for the 10 count. With this incredible victory, Ray Narh improves to 14-1 with 13 knockouts.
