Even though Gilliam weighed in at 156lbs vs Delgado’s 143lbs, it was Delgado that possessed the superior boxing skills and even appeared to be the harder puncher.

ATLANTA FRIDAY NIGHT FIGHTS – A BIG “DRAW” ALL THE WAY AROUND

Photos

(IB – Atlanta 22, 2003) – David Oblas and Austin Wingo, who makeup Undisputed Productions have teamed up once again to provide professional boxing entertainment to the Atlanta boxing fans. The fights took place at the Tabernacle in the heart of Downtown Atlanta on 8/22/03.

When you think of the term “Draw” in the sport of boxing, you think pretty even, both sides gave as well as they took. This is how this event could be dubbed. Based on the amount of attendance on hand, practically a sell out, I would think the promoters received what they were seeking. As a result of the competitiveness of the bouts, I would say the crowd also received what they paid to see, competitive boxing for their entertainment. So it’s a Draw! More

HALL DEFEATS TOLLIVER ONCE AGAIN

ATLANTA, GEORGIA (IB – April 18, 2003) – In front of a sell-out crowd of approximately 1000 fight fans, boxing fans were treated to an very exciting night of boxing at the Coca-Cola Roxy theatre in the heart of Atlanta, Georgia, and promoted by David Oblas & Austin Wingo’s Undisputed Productions.

The main event was a highly anticipated rematch between Xavier "The X-Man Tolliver (11-2, 8 KOs), of College Park, Georgia against Richard Lee Hall (7-10-1, 4 KO's), of Bayboro North Carolina. In their first encounter in September of 2000, Tolliver took his 1-0 record into Hall's back yard and suffered his first defeat as a professional via a four-round decision. Tolliver was hopeful that by having more experience since then, and fighting in front of his hometown crowd this time, there would be a different outcome and he would emerge the victor. Well, that was not what Hall had in mind. More
