Heavyweights Danny Calhoun and Gary Kelley met for a tussle of the big boys for 4 rounds. Punch House’s own Danny Calhoun fought the biggest man I’ve ever seen in the ring, Kelly was an easy 350 lbs, a la Butterbean. Calhoun was able to use his speed and ability to win an easy decision. Kelley was a big man who is always one shot away from stealing a victory nonetheless Calhoun is now 5-0.
