The_budweiser Posted August 7, 2012 Share Posted August 7, 2012 New York, NY (August 6, 2012) – Junior Middleweight Captain Boyd “Rainmaker” Melson earned his ninth professional win last Thursday evening after outboxing game foe Khalik Memminger at the Roseland Ballroom. Backed by large group of supporters, including a special ringside group with 20 members from the New York chapter of the National Spinal Cord Injury Association (NYCSCIA), the southpaw Melson carefully boxed for the majority of the fight. The West Point graduate and Army Reserve Officer landed well-placed straight left hands along with stiff jabs. After controlling five straight stanzas, Melson faced a bit of adversity in the sixth and final round when Memminger buzzed him with a few hard shots to the head. Although his loyal fans were briefly at the edge of their seats, Melson regained his composure and battled back, earning a clear-cut decision. All three judges scored the bout 59-55.
