Pina KO caps hectic night
By BOB BRADLEY; STAFF WRITER Cape Cod Times Published: April 7, 2006 [http://www.capecodonline.com/archives/7days/fri/pinako7.htm]
HYANNIS - Falmouth's '''Jay Pina''' didn't let the fight fans go home completely disappointed last night.
The 41-year-old Falmouth boxer '''knocked out Karl Willis of Tennessee with a relentless attack to the body in the'''
'''third round of the final bout of Eruption on Cape Cod III at a jammed Sheraton Four Points Hyannis Resort ballroom.'''
Unfortunately, '''the bout was relegated to exhibition status because the state boxing commission refused to sanction'''
'''the event as a result of a mixup in paperwork, according to the promoter of the event, David Gonsalves''' of David's
Gym in South Dennis, who is also Pina's manager and trainer.
'''There was no commissioner at the event and no judges,''' and what was supposed to be a five-bout evening featured only
four that totaled approximately 11 rounds of boxing. Gonsalves said ticket holders to last night's event will receive
half price off a ticket to a future ''Eruption'' event on the Cape, which he said would hopefully be in July.
None of that mattered to Pina (15-1, 11 KOs), who still seeks a possible shot at the IBF Intercontinental super
middleweight title, or the vacated New England super middleweight championship.
''Dave told me after the first round to concentrate on the body and I was looking for the left hand to do some work
today,'' Pina said after the fight, surrounded by family, friends and supporters at ringside. ''I knew (Willis) was
tough and I knew he was strong. Very strong. And when I came back to the chair after the first round, Dave said to
concentrate on the body and don't lose the focus.''
He almost lost more than just focus '''in the second round''' when Willis, who in the past has fought boxing names James
Toney, Montelle Griffin and Thomas ''Hit Man'' Hearns. '''Willis surprised Pina with a hard left that sent the local'''
'''favorite to the canvas''' and momentarily silenced the raucous crowd. But he bounced right back up and started working
again at the midsection of Willis.
''He hit with a left hook,'' Pina said, ''and I want to tell you right now that thing rung my bell. I've been down
before, but that's what makes champions. He definitely brought out the best of me.''
'''In the third,''' Pina stayed with his corner advice and continued solid rights to the body, and '''Willis winced as he went'''
'''down on one knee''' after one Pina connection. Sensing the kill, Pina went back to the body and sent Willis '''down again'''
'''seconds later, and that was it.'''
It wasn't all positive for Cape boxers, particularly '''Lenny Silva''' of Harwich, the 140-pounder who came in with a 12-0
record with nine knockouts. Going '''against Joe ''Alpha Omega'' Ortega o'''f Lowell, '''Silva was knocked out in the second'''
round, getting staggered by a straight right hand along the ropes and then '''dropped with a left hook'''. One advantage
for Ortega was that he chose to wear headgear, while Silva did not. At least one shot by Silva to the head of Ortega
early in the fight had little effect, likely because of the protection.
For his part, Pina got the winner's treatment as he headed for the dressing room. ''I just wanted to be ready and put
on a good show for the people,'' he said. Pina said Gonsalves has some potential fights on the table, but nothing is
definite. For now, it's back to work.
''I know what I'm supposed to do,'' Pina added, ''because I know Dave's doing what he's supposed to do.''
