Fox established his left jab very early, keeping Brinson off balance and knocking him down in the first round. Brinson tried to rough Fox up inside but Fox was able to stick to his game plan.
By the fifth round, Brinson could not sustain any offensive attack, and his corner asked referee Kenny Chevalier to stop the bout in the following round at the 2:46 mark.
Fox raises his record to 25-1-1, 12 KOs. Brinson’s record drops to 19-5-2, nine KOs.
In the co-feature bout, D.C. super featherweight “The Dark Menace” Tiara Brown put on a dominant performance en route to stopping Angel “Non-Stop” Gladney of Columbia, S.C., in the sixth round.
The win gives Brown her first regional title, the NABO super featherweight title.
Brown was in complete control in the contest. She landed shots from outside and inside. Gladney tried to compete from the outside, then she tried to work inside on Brown. Neither plan worked due to Brown’s accurate output.
Brown didn’t knock Gladney down but she battered her enough to force Kenny Chevalier to stop the contest at 34 seconds of the sixth round.
Brown remains undefeated at 8-0, six KOs. Gladney is 10-15-1, six KOs.
