Tony Mack and James “Boogie” Freeman got it on nicely Saturday night for eight rounds of 
super middleweight action stealing Standing 8 Promotions’ uneven eight-fight marathon at 
the Amon Carter Exhibit Hall in Fort Worth, Texas.
The favored Mack pushed and pounded a tough and heavy-handed Freeman all around the ring 
all night but paid the price repeatedly for his unanimous decision victory in a co-main 
event that featured Juan- Antonio ‘Tony’ Lopez keeping his unbeaten streak alive with an 
anti-climatic WBC Intercontinental title bout. Mack scored the unanimous-decision win 
pushing his record to 10-1-0 [without a knockout] while sending Freeman, who said he lost 
30-40 pounds prior the this bout, to his third straight loss.
Texas boxing judges Jesse Reyes, Michael Gonzales and Aladin Martinez all scored the fight 
80-72, the referee was Texas’ Rosario Solis. With both of Freeman’s eyes cut and fans 
screaming for more Mack pounded his opponent late in round 8 as Boogie asked for it. Mack 
had it for him but couldn’t make the drop. Two minutes into the fight Mack rocked Freeman 
with a right jab, Mack went for the KO again in round 3 but Freeman didn’t fall and by the 
fifth he was almost looking good. In round 6 Freeman scored with a right to Mack’s head 
but immediately got hammered with a return combo that drew lots of blood from his 
opponent’s mouth.

In the main event Tony Lopez (10-0-0) pulled off a less-than-thrilling defensive win against 
Isaac Torres, a fighter with similar style and even less fire power. Both fighters moved 
quickly with their hands and feet and neither wanted to get hit, the result being a dull, 
eight-round WBC title fight that drew boos from fans and put another damper on the high 
hopes Lopez has for pushing his boxing career to the world stage. All three judges scored the 
unanimous-decision win 78-74 and referee Laurence Cole had and easy main event to officiate.

Another DFW fighter, Mike Tufariello (4-1-1) needed 1:45 to twice knock down the outmatched 
Chris Barnes from Tulsa, Oklahoma in a super-middleweight bout. After attacking Barnes and 
putting him down in one corner the referee Cole counted Barnes and sent him back for more. 
Seconds later Cole was calling it off.
Lightweight Kenny Grammer is a fighter Standing 8 has big plans for and he helped his cause 
with a strong four-round win against Kashiff Solarin. All three judges scored this fight 
40-36 giving Grammer his second pro victory.
Also on the card ‘Cracking’ Craig Callahan’s opponent Jerron Lockette went down on his face 
three times in 90 seconds forcing referee Cole to end the mini-debacle. Lockette really had 
no business in the ring other than getting paid which he did while laughing and joking 
ringside moments after the fight.
Marquis Taylor took out Jimmy Flick with a 40-36 unanimous-decision win in a junior 
welterweight bout,
Johnathan Ramirez won against Casey Phelps when the doctor recommended stoppage at 2:11 in 
the fourth round due to a cut , and Cody Perez scored a 40-36 UD win against David Roc Hance.

Tony Lopez “Super Charged” Wins WBC 118 Title
Article Written by Manuel Dominguez; News April 28, 2014 [3]
In any sport, the greatest feel-good stories are the ones where an athlete has to overcome 
trials and tribulations to succeed at the highest levels of their respective sport. Be it
poverty, jail-time or any other life detriment.  At only 20 years old, Fort Worth’s Juan 
Antonio (Tony) Lopez has already conquered and defeated some of the most difficult 
challenges. Residency issues that have even led to jail time being his biggest obstacle.  
While outside of the ring things have been arduous for him, everything inside of the ring 
is a walk in the park.

Tony Lopez versus Isaac Torres for the WBC Intercontinental Super Bantamweight title was 
the main event for Standing 8 Promotions Bud Light Pro Fight Series “Super Charged” at the 
Amon Carter Exhibit Hall in Fort Worth. Both fighters were coming into this fight 
undefeated. The first round got underway with Tony Lopez being the aggressor. He was able 
to land a good four punch combo in the center of the ring. Isaac Torres spent most of the 
round trying to find his range and was outworked by Lopez. Tony comes out as the aggressor 
to begin round two and his right jab was starting to land. Towards the end of the round, 
Isaac Torres’ corner pleaded with him to throw his own jab. He didn’t and was unable to let 
his hands go.
In round three Isaac Torres landed his most significant shot of the fight. A right uppercut 
caught Tony square in the chin. He took the shot very well. Tony’s head movement is gave 
Isaac a lot of problems and every time he threw a punch Tony was able to counter them. Tony 
landed a magnificent counter left hook to punctuate the round. In rounds four and five 
Lopez eyes were locked in on Torres gloves as he dodged almost every shot that Isaac Torres 
threw. Tony’s advantage was his hand speed and in both rounds he counter-punched effectively.

Round six was Torres best round of the fight as his left jab begins to land. Landing the jab 
gave him confidence as he lands some good combination shots working the body and chin of Tony. 
In round seven the trash talking started to pick up as both fighters began to exchange 
colorful words. Neither fighter wanted to back down and they backed up their words with 
punches each time they talked. A firefight ensued and both were throwing with bad intentions. 
The crowd was loving it and it was definitely pro-Tony as chants of “Tony, Tony” begin to fill 
the arena. In round eight, knowing that he was comfortably ahead in the scorecards, Tony Lopez 
boxed his way to end the fight. The hard work put in in training camp was evident as he came 
out with the same energy in the last round as he did in the first. He used his footwork, head 
movement and smart boxing this round and showed no signs of fatigue. Isaacs corner was aware 
they needed a knockout to win and were screaming for him to leave it all in the ring. As much 
as Isaac tried, Tony was able to box masterfully to avoid any danger.
All three judges had the fight 78-74 for the winner and new WBC Intercontinental Super 
Bantamweight Champion Tony Lopez. He now improves to 10-0 and Isaac Torres tastes defeat for 
the first time and drops to 5-1-1. Tony Lopez had a difficult challenge in front of him 
Saturday night but just as he has done with all of the things outside of the ring, he once 
again conquered and defeated it. This time with a WBC green belt to show for it.
CO-MAIN EVENT
The co-main event also had a belt on the line as Dallas’ Tony Mack put his Super Middle 
Weight Texas Title on the line against veteran and well respected James “Boogie” Freeman. 
Sometimes in boxing all you need to do is take a look at each fighters face after the final 
bell. 
Freemans face was in bad shape, bloodied and cut, meanwhile Tony Mack had no blemish on him.  
Tony Mack displayed great ring generalship throughout the fight and his right hook caused a 
lot of damage to Freeman. An overall impressive performance by Tony Mack as all three judges 
had the fight a unanimous 80-72 decision shutout in his favor. Tony Mack improves to 10-1 
5KO’s and James Freeman falls to 9-7.
ON THE UNDERCARD
The first fight of the night was a four round Super Middleweight bout between Dallas’ David 
Hance vs Cody Perez. After two competitive rounds Cody Perez took over in rounds three and 
four. The judges agreed and had it a unanimous decision victory for Cody Perez who now 
improves to 2-4. David Hance drops to 0-2.
Up next was a Jr. Middleweight showdown between Jonathan Ramirez vs Casey Phelps. Arlington’s 
Jonathan Ramirez completely dominated the fight. His left jab was right on target and did a 
lot of damage to Phelps. A solid right hook in round three seems to bust Casey Phelps nose 
and in Round Four the fight was stopped by the ringside doctor.  Casey Phelps was having 
issues breathing and Jonathan Ramirez gets a TKO victory and improves to 3-0 2 KO’s.
The third boxing fight of the night was in the Welterweight Division. Marquis Taylor from 
Houston was just too fast and too skilled for his opponent Jimmy Flick. Taylor was very 
aggressive from the opening bell and at one point landed a body/chin 6 punch combination 
unanswered. In rounds two and three Taylor effectively worked the body. Jimmy Flick’s chin 
must be made of granite because he was taking powerful hooks but kept pressing forward 
posturing towards Taylor to bring it. In the end Marquis was just too fast for him and the 
judges had it a 40-36 shutout and he now improves to 3-0.
Up next was a Welterweight four round fight between Jerron Lockette vs Craig “Cracking” 
Callaghan. In the movie Clash of the Titans, Hades begs Zeus to “release the cracking”, a 
vicious mythical water monster beast. Jerron Lockette might not be a fan of that movie 
anymore because the “Cracking” that was released on him knocked him out in one round. Making 
his long awaited and highly anticipated return to America from the U.K, Liverpool’s Craig 
Callaghan did not disappoint. A left hook to the jaw floors Lockette right out the gate. 
He beats the count only to have another left hook drop him again. Lockette unable to adjust 
to the left hook as it once again drops him for a third and final time. Official time of the 
stoppage was 1:33 into the First Round. Callaghan improves to 5-0 3KO’s.
The fifth fight was between Kenneth Grammer vs Kashiff Solarin. It was a very entertaining 
four round fight in the Jr. Lightweight division. Both fighters came out throwing haymakers 
in round one. Kenneth was able to land a massive right cross that Kasheif takes very well.  
In the second round Kenneth was trying to establish his left jab but gets caught with a solid 
counter right hook. He responds with a four punch combo and ends the round with two massive 
left hooks of his own. A barnburner begins in round three as both fighters come out extremely 
aggressive. In the last round both fighters once again come out throwing everything but 
Kenneth is able to land the cleaner shots. Judges scored the fight 40-36 in favor of Kenneth 
Grammer and he now improves to 2-0 1KO. Everyone was glad they saw this fight as it was 
probably the most entertaining fight that actually went all four rounds.
The sixth fight of the night was between fan favorite Mike “Italian Stallion” Tufariello 
(4-1-1) vs Christopher Barnes.  The “Itailian Stallion” came out looking to finish the fight 
immediately. Throwing vicious hooks to Barnes body. A right hook to the jaw drops Barnes but 
it was the body work that did the most damage. The crowd erupted and Barnes was able to beat 
the count.  Mike continued to land thunderous body shots and a right hook to the liver drops 
Barnes for the second time and Laurence Cole immediately stops the fight. Official time of 
the stoppage was 1:45 seconds in round one.
