Jeter's comeback worth
the wait!
October 8, 2005
By
Mike Greenhill at
ringside
Middleweight Tony Jeter
came back off a 4-year
layoff in grand style,
destroying
Philadelphia's Lawrence
Frisby in two rounds to
win by TKO at BXF Gym
(Boxing Extreme
Fitness)in the Baltimore
suburb of Millersville.
Jeter, of Stevensville,
enjoyed some home
cooking, as he trains at
BXF during the week.
Jeter moved in behind
his jab in Round One,
and caught Frisby with a
counter right to the
head that turned his
legs to pasta. Jeter
then followed with a
right to put Jeter down
on the canvas. He rose
on unsteady legs, and
was promptly put down
again, just before the
bell.
Jeter wasted no time in
the second round,
flooring Frisby with a
looping right to the top
of the head. Moments
later, the hometown kid
dropped Frisby into the
neutral corner with a
counter left hook, and
referee Gary Camponeschi
waved off matters at
0:50 of the second.
Jeter is now 4-1 (4)
while Frisby falls to
3-9 (2).
In the night's other pro
bout, light heavyweight
Jarell Mason-Jackson of
Temple Hills, MD gained
a tough unanimous
6-round decision over
Steve Garrett of
Annapolis, MD. It was a
back-and-forth battle
until Mason-Jackson
sealed the deal with a
knockdown in the 6th and
final round. Bill Holmes
scored 58-55, Gary
Camponeschi tallied
58-54 and John Gradowski
recorded 59-54, all for
Mason-Jackson. Garrett
also had a point
deducted in the final
round for holding.
Mason-Jackson improves
to 3-3 (0), while
Garrett falls to 2-4
(1).
There were only two pro
bouts since the James
McCallister-Dafir Smith
main event fell through.
However, the pro show
was preceded by five
amateur bouts, thus
satisfying the Maryland
State Athletic
Commission's minimum
25-round requirement for
the show to take place.
On hand to view the
festivities were former
cruiserweight champ
Boone Pultz,
welterweight contender
Derrell Coley and USBA
lightweight champ Lamont
"Bay" Pearson.

 Jeter
shows litle ring rust in Millersville comeback
Middleweight Tony Jeter came off a four-year
layoff in grand style, destroying Philadelphia's
Lawrence Frisby in two rounds to win by
technical knockout at BXF (Boxing Extreme
Fitness) Gym in Millersville Friday night.
Jeter's performance saved the evening's
festivitie after the main event between
Greenbelt's James McCallister and Philadelphia's
Dhafir Smith was canceled because some of
Smith's medical records did not make it to the
fight venue in time. As a result, Smith was not
allowed to enter the ring.
Five amateur bouts preceded the two pro
contests to meet the Maryland State Athletic
Commission's 25-round requirement for staging
the show.
Jeter enjoyed some home cooking, as the
Stevensville native trains at BXF on a regular
basis.
The 29-year-old started quickly, jabbing
his way in towards Frisby, 156 pounds.
He caught the 36-year-old Pennsylvanian
with a counter right to the head, turning his
legs into pasta.
Jeter, 163.5 pounds, then followed with
another right that put Frisby down on the
canvas. He got up on unsteady legs, and was
promptly floored by another right seconds before
the bell.
Jeter wasted no time in the second round,
downing Frisby with a looping right to the top
of the head.
Frisby somehow beat the count, but
moments later the hometown kid dropped him for a
fourth time, and as Frisby bounced off the ropes
in a neutral corner, referee Gary Camponeschi
stopped the bout at 0:50 of the second.
Jeter is now 4-1 (4 KOs), while Frisby
falls to 3-9 (2).
Said Jeter afterwards, "I didn't know
anything about Frisby going into the fight. I
knew he had fought some tough guys, I knew it
would be a tough fight. I had had a four-year
layoff, so I was a little excited. My one loss
was to a guy from Philly, so I know whenever you
fight someone from Philly it's gonna be a tough
fight."
Continued Jeter, "I knew I was gonna get
him, and I was surprised the ref didn't stop it
sooner, because he looked out on his feet. I
started catching him with some good shots."
In the evening's first pro bout, light
heavyweight Jarrell Mason-Jackson (21, 172.75
pounds) gained a tough unanimous decision over
Annapolis's Steve Garrett (36, 169 pounds).
It was a back-and-forth battle until
Mason-Jackson sealed the victory with a
knockdown in the sixth and final round. Garrett
also had a pointdeducted by referee Ken
Chevalier in the last round for holding.
Mason-Jackson improved to 3-3, winning on
Judge Bill Holmes card 58-55, Gary Camponeschi's
58-54 and John Gradowski's 59-54.
The defeat drops Garrett to 2-4 (1 KO).
In the night's five amateur bouts, the
winners were Eduardo Vasquez,
Alex Guerrero, Colin O'Laughlin, Fernando
Guerrero, and Lucas Runyan.
Runyan's was the lone win inside the
distance, as he floored Orndorf once and
battered him around the ring, forcing a stoppage
in round 2.
