K.O DRUGS TOURNAMENT Fitch boxers win all 6 of their bouts

One fight was stopped 25 seconds into the first round.
YOUNGSTOWN -- Austintown Fitch fighters went undefeated in six bouts during the second night of the K.O. Drugs Boxing Tournament on Tuesday at the St. Nicholas Byzantine Center.
Boardman sent eight participants and three won. Canfield fighters won four of seven fights.
There were 23 decisions in the 35 bouts. Four men won by default while eight fights were stopped by the referee.
In addition to Fitch, Girard (three) and Ursuline (two) athletes were undefeated.
Ursuline's Tim Kovalscik set the theme early, coming out fast with a volley of punches in an opening match between flyweights. He worked to the head and body to get a decision over Steve Kostik from Struthers.
The other Irish winner was upperclass super middleweight Bryan Pegues, who used a punishing attack in the shortest bout as the referee stopped his fight with Shane Davis from Southington 25 seconds intoRound One.
Excellent exchanges
Fitch underclass light heavyweight Dan Drummond took a decision over John Cabrera of Struthers in the best ring battle of the night. The two battled through a slugfest that had many outstanding exchanges.
In a super middleweight bout, Falcons sophomore Fruto Nunez was on the attack early against Kevin Dougherty from Hubbard, using a barrage of punches that had his opponent take a standing eight count in the first round.
Nunez won the decision, but was tiring in the last round.
"I was punching OK, but I have to work a little harder on my stamina," Nunez said.
Fitch super middleweight Steve McLaughlin won a decision over Kevin Benicase from New Castle, Pa. In a cruiserweight battle, hard-punching Jock Williams of Fitch topped Matt Mayberry from Life Skills in the third round.
Canfield featherweight Matt Tomko, a well-conditioned freshman, was a crisp puncher and did good work to the body in winning a hard-fought decision over T.J. Marks from Boardman.
"I was just throwing punches as long as I could," Tomko said.
Canfield heavyweight Pat Donovan was too aggressive for Salem's Travis Smith, winning a decision.
"I took it to him and it was a lot of fun" Donovan said.
Boardman's Tim Ortega stopped Tylon Cousin from Keystone in the second round. Cousin, a southpaw, started well, but Ortega was too much of a big hitter as he punished Cousin with big rights in Round Two.
"I just started punching him in the face," Ortega said.
Another right-hand puncher, who only threw one left in a three-round fight, was Struthers heavyweight James Neopolitan in taking a decision from Kyle Hazen from Sharon, Pa., in an underclass bout.
