“I felt believable,” said Spivey (39-6-0, 29 KOs) following the event promoted by Diane Fischer’s Dee Lee Promotions, LLC. “I felt like I was in manage. I had plenty of gas. It felt weird stopping at eight (rounds) and not going ten or twelve. But I got the job done. Damon’s a tough guy. He was strong. He caught me with some proper shots. He’s a strong, heavy-handed guy.”

Spivey controlled the fight throughout, although Antoine (9-32-2, 4 KOs) never backed down. The Portsmouth, Virginia indigene established a snapping left jab in the first round that remained consistent throughout the bout. Powerful combinations, both to the run and body, were persistent and helped wear down Antoine through the first three rounds.

The physical action escalated in honest four as both fighters exchanged punches center ring. “The Mailman” returned fire throughout the rounded including a solid left hand to Spivey’s head before the bell.

Both fighters stayed minuscule together in round five exchanging punches. A left hook from Spivey slowed Antoine late in the through while a big overhand right led to a Spivey flurry at the bell.
