Deontay Wilder Victoriuos over Richard "Big Fella" Green



Deontay Wilder raises his hand in victory after a win over Richard Green Jr. in the main event at The Reunion. Richard “Big Fella, head Swella” Green was unable to start round 2 due to a possible broken hand. The first round provided a nice exchange of hard hitting action from both fighters. Wilder had the size and reach on Green, while the Big Fella Green is known for his power punches. Green was in serious pain as the ring side doctors cut the tape from the hands after the fight. Meanwhile the 6’7 Deontay “The Bronze Bomber” Wilder seems to be on the road to superstardom. Wilder was the only member of the Olympic team to win a medal in 2008. He is managed by Shelly Finkel and Jay Deas, Promoted by Golden Boy Promotions, and has signed a Deal with Everlast as his sponsor.
In the Co- main event Adrian “The Problem” Broner(7-0-1) defeated Eric Ricker(1-2- 1) by decision in a six round bout. The fight was a rematch from the December fight that ended in a no contest. Ricker gave Broner a tough fight in front of Broner’s hometown fans in Cincinnati. The evening was a great start of the Boxing year R&R Promotions and Co –Sponsor Golden Boy Promotions.
