"Rahway State Prison inmate James Scott, the aggressor from the opening bell, pounded out a unanimous 10-round decision Saturday over No. 1 ranked light heavyweight Yaqui Lopez at the prison. Scott maintained a furious pace in the nationally televised bout by rushing at Lopez from the very start. Scott landed numerous ferocious left jabs and hooks that opened a deep gash on the bridge of Lopez' nose in the 1st round. Lopez bled profusely for the rest of the bout." -Associated Press
