James “The Bull” Barnes of Pine City, MN (now 1-2) was stopped by Michael “Reservation Hybrid” Birthmark (now 3-11) in the first round on Saturday night at The Rock Rapids Rumble in Iowa. Ringsiders say Barnes was dominating and in control when he was caught and dropped by an over hand right to the head. Barnes got to his feet ready to continue but according to him and his corner, the referee mistook his lazy eye as a sign of trouble and stopped the fight. Barnes told MinnesotaBoxing.com afterward that he is hopeful (but doubtful) for a rematch ASAP.

Former Cuban amateur Dennys Reyes (now 0-1) of Minneapolis, MN was stopped by TKO in his pro debut by debuting Carnell Porter Giles of Kimball, Michigan (now 1-0) in other action.
