Thomas "Cornflake" LaManna needed only 51 seconds to stop Anthony Williams (0-3, Wilson, NC) in his first professional bout at Bally's in Atlantic City Friday evening.
Williams wasted no time as he came out swinging wildly at the opening bell. As the two exchanged combinations in the middle of the ring, LaManna landed several clean shots in between the wide punches of Williams. Williams was pushed back into the ropes where a follow-up barrage from LaManna forced referee Randy Neumann to step in and call an early halt to the bout.

The judges scores were 98-92 and 97-92(x2).

Atlantic City's John "The Eastern Beast" Brown was stopped in the 6th round of his bout with 2000 Olympian Ricardo Williams. Brown fought valiantly in what is likely to have been his last fight in his hometown, but ultimately took enough damage to justify trainer Julio Sanchez decision to throw in the towel.
