Promoted by Jeter Promotions in association with Club One Fitness in Millersvile, Maryland who also hosted the bout, the card, appropriately billed “Night Of Redemption”, drew a nice crowd, and the atmosphere was electric during the main event.  

The first round was nothing short of amazing. Jose Felix came out fast, while Jeter moved and tried to keep him at bay with his jab. As Felix tried to overwhelm Jeter, the local hero caught him with a peach of a right hand counter that knocked Felix down hard. Clearly hurt, Felix got up on shaky legs as referee Kenny Chevalier administered a count of eight.

Sensing his opportunity for a quick night, Jeter was now the attacker and he went all out to finish his opponent off. Throwing punches from all angles, Jeter got careless and was caught by a beautiful right hand from Felix, and now he was the one on the floor. More surprised than hurt, Jeter got up smiling and immediately went back on the attack after receiving his eight-count.

Still trying to finish things in the first, Jeter once again connected with a good right hand and send Felix down a second time, sending the crowd into a frenzy. But, game as they come, Felix once again got on his feet to face the onslaught of Jeter. As the bell rang to end three minutes of pulsating action, the two competent touched gloves and acknowledged each other with a smile. It was truly magnificent stuff.

While not quite as electrifying as the first, the next rounds were also thrilling entertainment for the spectators. Both fighters fought all out to win, and at times it was a dirty affair filled with low blows, kidney shots, head buts and holding. Things got especially ugly in round seven when Felix complained about a low blow that the referee didn’t see, and then picked up Jeter and tossed him to the canvass WWF-style.  

Tony Jeter, now 13-3-1 (9), clearly landed the cleaner and harder shots throughout, and while Felix was always dangerous it was clear that he would only be able to win if he could score another spectacular knockout. That did not happen, and in the end the verdict was unanimously in favor of Jeter.

“It was a great fight to be in. We both came to fight, and we were both in great shape”, said the new champion after the bout, and continued: “Last time I was not myself, and I am very happy to get redemption. I want to thank my whole team for making this possible. I have the best team!”

Both boxers can hold their head high after this all-out war. Jeter won the fight, but both are winners!
