Mike Oliver Wins USBA Junior Featherweight Championship
Hartford, Connecticut's Mike "Machine Gun" Oliver defeated Adam Carrera for the USBA junior featherweight title Saturday night at Mohegan Sun Resort Casino.
Oliver, who at times displayed blinding hand speed, won a unanimous decision by scores of 120-108, 118-110 and 116-112. While the scores were one-sided, Carrera was no slouch. He was 18-1 (8) going into his bout with Oliver, was a former NABF champion, and as an amateur, had won a Junior Olympics world championship.
In the following clip, Oliver's promoter, Rich Cappiello, trainer John Scully and Oliver himself speak on the team's latest victory and hope Oliver will get to showcase his skills on ESPN, HBO and Showtime in the near future. [video by Kirk Lang]
