Battle of the Boat 80 Fight Night!!

The day started a little late since Virgil and I couldn't sleep and stayed up late watching Bully Beat down until 2am in the morning. At about 11am we finally got up and went down stairs to eat brunch. Virgil looked and felt good. After breakfast we headed back to our room to rest until it was time to leave for the venue and see the doctor for the pre fight examination.

Once the doctor was done I wrapped Virgil's hands and we started to warm up. Virgil was scheduled for the second fight of the night. We started warming up and I knew just how Virgil was warming up that he was on already. His punches were crisp, hard and fast. Virgil was ready!! Final adjustments to Virgil's gloves before his bout.

Now it was time for Virgil. Once the first round started it was clear that Nalo Leal was here to fight, being a veteran of 13 pro fights it showed. Nalo came right at Virgil not afraid to exchange with him. Virgil's speed and movement was a little to much for Nalo but he continued to come after Virgil.

Virgil using his distance and speed that set the tone of the fight.

Virgil working the body of Nalo Leal.

Nalo was able to frustrate Virgil a little at the beginning of the fight because he kept holding Virgil, then proceeded to hit Virgil during the break. It wasn't long for Virgil to get back on track and out box Nalo for four straight rounds, shutting Nalo out by winning all four rounds by all judges 40-36, 40-36 and 40-36.

Virgil getting the victory to improve his record to 2-0, over a tough and game Nalo Leal.

It was an impressive fight for Virgil considering Virgil had fractured his right hand during the 2nd round and continued to fight at the pace he did and still win the fight against a very game and tough opponent in Nalo Leal.
