Terrance Williams' record as a professional boxer still is perfect, but the Gettysburg southpaw had
to work a little bit to register his latest victory. Williams outpointed Eddie Gates of Moncton, New
Brunswick, Canada, in a four-round matchup of left-handed super middleweights that was part of the
undercard of Saturday night's pro boxing card at the Hanover Armory.
Ringside judges scored the bout 39-37, 39-37, 39-36 in favor of the 31-year-old Williams (4-0-0,
1 knockout). The Shippensburg University graduate also won a four-round decision in July in Hanover
over Eric Harris of McKeesport. Gates (2-10-0, 1 knockout), meanwhile, dropped his 10th consecutive
bout. Williams absorbed a quality shot in the third round from Gates, an Orlando, Fla., native who
since has relocated to Canada. Williams rebounded in the fourth and final round, flooring the 35
year-old en route to the unanimous decision. "It was a war," said Capital Punishment Harrisburg
Boxing Club trainer Ricky Clark. "Terrance had to dig deep this time."
York's Sammy Quinones failed in his quest to capture the Universal Boxing Federation's All-America
light welterweight title, retiring after the sixth round of his scheduled eight-rounder with Puerto
Rico's Osenohan Vazquez. As a result, Vazquez (8-2-1, 3 knockouts) was awarded a win by TKO.
Quinones (8-3-0, 2 knockouts) had won his last six fights.

Despite leading on the scorecards through the first six rounds, William Penn grad Samuel Quinones Jr. 
pulled out of his title fight against Osenohan Vazquez on Saturday in Hanover due to heart problems,
according to his trainer, Julio Alvarez.
Quinones and Alvarez made the decision in their corner between rounds six and seven. Quinones was
having heart palpitations and they felt it was better for him to stop the fight, Alvarez said.
The judges had Quinones leading the fight at that point, Alvarez said, after Quinones broke Vazquez’s
nose early in the bout. The expectation is that Quinones will be able to return to the ring after
being cleared by a cardiologist. Quinone’s bout was the main event of the “Brawl at the Armory” at
the Hanover National Guard Armory. In the days leading up to the match, Quinones called it the
biggest fight of his career as the All-American title belt was on the line and the 25-year-old had
family flying in from Puerto Rico, Florida and New York for the match.

surprising eight round title contest. as Osenohan Vasquez (8-2-1, 3KOs) captured the interim UBF All

out for the seventh round due to heart palpitations.
Quinones looked sharp in the opening two rounds, picking his shots behind sharp jabs with good
movement. The shorter Vasquez pressed the attack by diving in with hooks, which resulted in a few
clashes of heads and a cut just inside of the right eyelid. Quinones targeted the cut and the blood
poured down Vasquez’s nose as the round came to a close. His corner though quickly closed it and the
cut was not a major factor the rest of the fight.
In the third, it looked like Quinones was going to end the show, but he got sloppy and the advancing
Vasquez buckled his knees with a right hand between his wide hooks. Both traded away in mid round.
Quinones snapped up the head of Vasquez with three more straight rights as the round entered the
final minute. Quinones regained control of the fight in the fourth, but he was tiring at certain
points and standing in front of the hooking Vasquez. Sammy Quinones was still busier and more
effective with big combinations, while targeting the body with tight hooks.
The fifth round was a war in itself as each fighter traded heavy single shots in the center of the
ring in the middle of round five. Quinones left on the button infuriated Vasquez and he swung with
wide hooks. Each fighter took turns landing big shots as the fifth came to a close. Quinones
connected with a good check hook as round six opened, but Vasquez returned fire with a right hand of
his own. Quinones was winning the round, until the unforeseen happened. In the closing twenty seconds,
without warning, Quinones went into a shell and allowed Osenohan Vasquez to bang away with ten
unanswered shots. While in the corner, you could tell something was wrong as a despondent Sammy
Quinones pointed to his heart and told referee Gary Rosato he could not continue due to heart
palpitations and the bout was waived off, giving Osenohan Vasquez the TKO victory at three minutes of
round six. Quinones walked out of the ring, but later went out in an ambulance to for further
observation.
An exuberant Vasquez spoke on the win afterwards. “I fought another big fight in California not too
long ago. It wasn’t my time. I wasn’t ready. Today was my time and I captured the belt.”
“I just want to now take my family ahead. I am boxing for my family. No matter what happens. Even if
I don’t win a world title, you will know that I put forth a hundred percent effort when I fight,”
exclaimed Vasquez

with a right hand. Morias rose to his feet and tried to punch his way out of trouble, but he couldn’t
match his opponent’s hand speed as another four punch combination sent him to the canvas for a second
time. This time Morias looked on unsteady legs as he received the eight count. Morias desperately
swung away but the last of three straight rights from Ian Green sent him to the canvas for the third
and final time. Referee Gary Rosato waived the fight off without a count at 2:10 giving Ian Green the
impressive first round TKO victory
