New York, NY (June 6th, 2015)– Jarrell ‘Big Baby’ Miller is a huge tall muscular heavyweight who means business when he shows up. His biggest trouble is not his opponents, it is the lack of opponents. When Raymond Ochieng called Miller out, Miller obliged and knocked him out. When Damon ‘Bulldog’ McCreary accepted his challenge without fear, Miller was all business. Consider this: McCreary’s last five opponents with winning records are undefeated in 84 professional fights!
In the main event of a seven bout card on Thursday evening, June 4, 2015, at Paramount Theater at Long Island University in Brooklyn, New York (soon to undergo a 24 month renovation and become the major entertainment alternate venue to Barclays Center) promoted by Dmitriy Salita’s Star of David Promotions, Miller, now 13-0-1 with 11 knockouts, Brooklyn, New York, stood in a corner after the opening bell rang, and watched the shorter McCreary bull rush him and emptied his guns for two minutes! McCreary threw his body punches so hard poor McCreary flipped over backwards in a somersault and landed on his head! Miller, annoyed, did not move. Miller then proceeded to drop McCreary twice with body shots. McCreary had the nerve to beat the count both times, and return to his corner.
Miller opened up again in round two, using body shots to send McCreary, 15-5 with 11 knockouts, Detroit, Michigan, through the bottom ropes, slumped over in a sitting position helpless and defenseless, resulting in the stoppage. McCreary, to his credit, did not just ‘sit down’, throwing punches in both rounds.
Result: Jarrell Miller TKO 2 Damon McCreary, Heavyweights
McCreary was down twice in the first round, and again in the second round
Time: 1:08 of second round. Referee: Steve Willis.
