"Isaac Logart has sped past another opponent. Friday night it was Yama Bahama from Bimini in the Bahamas. The decision for Logart was unanimous at MSG after 10 rounds. Bahama tried to take advantage of his six-pound edge by rushing Logart to the ropes and banging away at the body. Although he forced the action most of the time, Logart made him miss often and kept beating him to the punch with his eye-catching flurries." -Associated Press
