Gettysburg boxer Williams gets hometown win at Hanover Rumble at the Armory
Terrance Williams beat Eric Harris in a super middleweight bout Friday
By Tom Sixeas For The Evening Sun Posted: 07/18/2014 10:32:57 PM[2]
It wasn't quite a full house for the Hanover Rumble boxing event Friday night at the Hanover Armory,
but Gettysburg's Terrance Williams had a sizable amount of support and the southpaw didn't disappoint
his supporters as he defeated McKeesport's Eric Harris by unanimous decision, 40-36, 39-37 and 39-37,
in a four-round super middleweight bout.
Williams (3-0, 1 KO), a 2001 Gettysburg High grad and a Cumberland County probation officer, took
control of the fight in the second round when he got Harris in trouble with a series of jabs and
hooks that had Harris rocked and grabbing Williams to keep from going down.
"I had him in trouble in the second, but he held on to me like a prom date and I couldn't finish him,"
Williams said. "It took me a little while to find my rhythm in the first round because I hadn't fought
in one day short of a year. "I felt like once I got my timing and distance down that I did well."
Harris tried to push the pace in the third and pushed Williams to the ropes, but once there, Williams
fought back and got the fight back in the center of the ring.
The fourth round saw Harris gassing out early and Williams looking for a knockout that never came.
But Williams remained in control until the final bell.

Quinones’ Win Revives Boxing in Hanover[3]
J. R. Jowett reporting from ringside; MaxBoxing
Julio Alvarez continues to keep club boxing alive around South- Central Pennsylvania with an
unambitious show at the Hanover National Guard Armory on 7/18/14. The small venue seated only about
350, but was packed. On a pleasant summer eve, the garage doors were opened at one end to let in the
cool night air and the bugs. Fortunately, not too many took advantage, so that the humans continued
to outnumber the insects. Baltimore’s versatile fighter-trainer-promoter Jake “The Snake” Smith worked
his own boxer’s corner (and won!) while doubling as ring announcer. The pro-am show started with six
amateur bouts, in which the host gym, Lincolnway of York, had a hard night. Matchmaker Chuck Bayley
added three pro bouts, which were more or less average, but fans loved the show notwithstanding.
Julio tried moving from his usual venue in York, and perhaps the full house bodes well. The main event
certainly produced a promising local prospect.
In the six-round main attraction, Sammy Quinones, 143, York, 8-2 (3), may have taken a giant step in
establishing himself as the local attraction, in place of the no-longer-active Carney Bowman, Steve
Weimer, and Eric Nemo. Quinones did a workmanlike and professional job of breaking down slippery
Dontre King, 148, Cambridge, MD, 7-17-2 (3), in a crowd-pleaser. Sammy positioned himself just right,
keeping a step closer to the mobile and free-swinging King, with short, accurate punches. He also
worked in a lot of beltline shots that were obviously bothersome while cutting down Dontre’s movement.
Steady action kept the fans absorbed while the visitor was taking a worse beating each round. In the
fourth, King was in trouble and full flight, with Quinones effectively tracking him down and nailing
him, when referee Benjy Esteves (all bouts) decided Dontre had had enough and stopped it, at 2:17.
Nick Kisner, 229, Balto., 13-1-1 (5), put on a tour de force of improvised punching while completely
shutting out Pedro Martinez, 219, Phila., 7-8 (3), in a one-sided but entertaining four. The
deceptive southpaw Kisner looks like a mauler but is actually a tricky and difficult boxer who can
invent punches on the spot like Maxie Rosenbloom. The rugged Martinez has only a forward gear, but it
didn’t get him far. Pedro couldn’t find the doorknob to get inside while Kisner picked him apart from
every angle. A big right hand snapped Pedro’s head back in the second round, and by the last two he
was little more than a supporting actor to the Nick Show. All scores 40-36.
In a serious but poorly executed four, Terrance Williams, 162, Hanover, 3-0 (1), edged a unanimous
verdict from Eric Harris, 161, McKeesport, 1-1. Both are southpaws and evidently didn’t know how to
fight a southpaw. Although they both tried, it produced mostly ineffective mauling. That didn’t bother
the fans, who were thoroughly into it, good or bad. The local favorite managed to establish an edge in
the middle two rounds by getting closer against his rangy and telegraphing opponent and bringing up
punches inside. Harris kept his distance and landed a few counters in the final round, as Williams won
a fair decision, 39-37 from Dave Greer and Adam Friscia, 40-36 from Bernard Bruni.
