September 10th , in Holland , Michigan , “Iron” Dan Crabtree (1 (1KO)-2) violently and viciously knocked out Bowe Vincent Jr. at 1:34 of the 2nd round. In round 1 of the 4 round scheduled contest, Crabtree wasted no time by quickly establishing his superior boxing skill by showing excellent head movement and footwork as the much larger Vincent Jr. struggled to find range. Halfway through the round “Iron” Dan rocks the Michigan fighter with a perfectly timed over hand right that had Vincent on queer street. Vincent visibly shaken began to retaliate by throwing wide looping punches as Crabtree utilized his impeccable defense while simultaneously continuing his assault and with 30 seconds left in the round, Crabtree levels Vincent Jr. with a left hook that sent the debuting fighter sprawling backwards landing on his rear end. Vincent manages to beat the count and survives the round. Round 2 had “Iron” Dan on the attack knowing his opponent was still very much hurt and to Vincent’s credit he clearly wasn’t laying down for anybody as he gave a valiant last ditch effort by throwing hard shots, one of which landed behind left ear of Crabtree but nonetheless seemed to do no damage as not even a mack truck could stop or derail “Iron” Dan’s mission of destruction and at 1:34 the moment came as the Hilliard fighter absolutely battered Bowe Vincent with overhand rights and hooks that could knock a building down. Vincent Jr. falls face first to the canvas nearly rolling out of the ring as referee Pat Schmidt wasted no time by quickly waving off the contest giving “Iron” Dan Crabtree his much deserved first win by KO. When interviewed in regards to Dan Crabtree’s performance legendary trainer Coach Ali Abul-Jamii said, ” Dan is a beast! He’s the kind of guy you put out there, cut the cord, and he’ll do the rest. This guy flat out gets the job done! ” Crabtree’s management team added ” “Iron” Dan’s spectacular KO took none of us by surprise. Dan could very easily be 3-0 right now if it wasn’t for the politics and shadiness in this great sport of ours. He’s only been boxing for a year and some change and we’ve barely scratched the surface of what he can do and what he’ll accomplish. “Iron” Dan will box at the elite level as a world class fighter. We’re so proud of him! ” We commend Bowe Vincent Jr. as he proved himself to be a class act and a really nice kid and we wish him the best of luck in the future.
