LEWISTON – In a night filled with fighters from New York and Pennsylania, two Portland fighters came out on top in their bouts.

John Webster earned a knockout at 1:50 of the third round over James Lowry of Philadelphia and undefeated Jason LeHoullier won an unanimous decision over Bruce Corby of Scranton, Pa., in a night of professional boxing presented by Joey Gamache at the Multi-Purpose Center Saturday night.

LeHoullier had one of the more interesting matches on the card. The boxer out of the Portland Boxing Club held the upper hand from virtually the opening bell. Despite the advantage, LeHoullier was taunted throughout by Corby. The Pennsylvania fighter would challenge the local fighter both verbally and by leaving his gloves down.

Webster, a local fan favorite in Gamache’s cards, knocked Lowry down once in each round before the fight was stopped.

Auburn’s Vinny Donatelli stepped back into the ring to face Joe Head of Laconia, N.H. It was Head’s professional debut and in a bout that lasted 1:37 into the second round, looked more like a street fight. Head earned the win when the referee waved off the fight after Donatelli’s second eight-count.

Declet Timlin of Ireland also returned, earning a knockout of first-timer Joe Roedel of Scranton at the two minute mark of the first round.

There was some controversy when Genaro Andujar of Brooklyn, N.Y. earned an unanimous decision over Armand Horn. Horn had entered the ring with nine KO’s in 11 professional fights and appeared to carry the fight. Horn looked distressed, and the crowd voiced it’s collective displeasure when Andujar was named the winner.

If it wasn’t for Donatelli or Joey Gamache’s nephew Ryan, who made is professional debut in the card’s main event, Dennis Burley of Scranton would most likely have won the fan favorite award. He took on John Scalzi of Philadelphia and put on a show as well. Not necessarily with his split-decision win, but with his antics inside the ropes.

The fighter taunted Scalzi with rope-a-dope, dancing and playing up to the capacity crowd.

Burley tried the same tactics at last month’s card and lost his match.
