April 26, 2009, Staten Island- Gary Stark was very slick with his remarkable speed and incredible footwork. Quick punches might have earned him victory that night. Unfortunately, these abilities simply didn’t work for him as Antonio Escalante drilled him with hard-hitting blows from every direction. The Mexican fighter was also pretty quick catching Stark off-guard on several occasions in the ring. He threw many of his punches deep into Stark’s body wearing the New Yorker down. Stark attempted to counter the shots he was getting from NABO Junior Featherweight champion. Escalante did receive some of those clean shots from Stark’s right fist. Tension in the atmosphere furthered and the pressure accelerated. Stark’s performance was highly commendable with his quick dodges. Breaking through this slick boxer’s defense proved to be difficult. Obviously, Escalante tried to break his way in.
As the match progressed with increasing thrill, a battering hook from Escalante’s left solidly landed on Stark’s jaw sending the exalted crowd into frenzy. That fatal blow sent him dropping into the ring corner looking extremely terrible. After the referee’s count of six, Stark could barely stand up but he decided, anyway, to continue to the fight. He was clearly on defense while Escalante was advancing towards him. The intensity of the fight was even made more intense with all the foul words that Stark was throwing at the Mexican.
Escalante decided to go full blast this time furiously pursuing his prey in the ring. The crowed was in awe as the Mexican fighter made sure he’ll get Stark this time. Escalante devastated him with a series of right-left combination. The punches were tremendously accurate. The clean shots proved to be fatal finally putting the slick Stark flat into the mat. The referee declared it victory by knockout.
