Bengal Bouts Alum Mike Lee Wins Fight Saturday Night

From BoxingScene:
Home Depot Center, Carson, California - Lightweight Mercito Gesta (22-0-1, 12KOs) was on fire in his Top Rank debut, dropping Jorge Pimentel (23-12, 17KOs) multiple times before referee Raul Caiz Jr. had seen enough and stopped the fight in the third round.
Former Notre Dame football played Mike Lee displayed some of the qualities that were obvious in his last few fights, some promise but a lot of work needed.  In the first, Lee drops Michael Birthmark with a nice right hand but then regresses in to wild swinging in trying to get Birthmark out of there.  The second he shows decent handspeed and poise but then lets Birthmark back into the fight. The third he finally keeps the pressure on dropping Birthmark with an accumulation of punches.  Birthmark tires from the onslaught as Lee finally finishes him off in the third round. Lee now stands at 6-0 (4KOs) while Birthmark drops to 2-6
Congratulations to Mike Lee.  I'll keep an eye on his progress.  Here is more information on the Bengal Bouts.
