Hajicek Defeats Holt!

The Minnesota state middleweight title switched hands last saturday as North Dakota's Butch Hajicek stopped former champ Chris Holt in round six of a scheduled eight round bout. Holt was all energy and aggression from the very start of the bout which was effective at times but it left him open to hard counter shots from Hajicek. "Maddog" Butch took his time and found a home for the straight right all fight long. Holt was dropped on several occassions but always managed to get back up and fight on. After a final knockdown in the sixth, the referee stopped the bout. In the nights semi-main event, NDSU's Andy Kolle found himself in quite a war with Canadian Kareem Chartrand. Chartrand was always coming foreward and was able to land hard shots to the head of Kolle. They came one at a time for the most part. Kolle landed the better combinations and really started to take over in the final two rounds as he busted up Chartrand. Both fighters were hurt of different occassions and the heart of both fighters showed as both stood for the final bell. Kolle won by UD, scores were 58-56, and 59- 55 twice. Jason Aaker was shocked by a slick Marcus Jones by first round ko. Aaker looked good at the start as he took his time and was starting to find Jones more and more. Jones was moving alot and firing quick shots. Jones landed a hard right to the head that staggered Aaker. Two more right put Aaker down. Aaker tried hard to get up but could not make it by the count of 10. Darby Smart crushed Randy Boleski by second round Ko. Sean Hickman looked sharp tko'ing Monte Fasset in the first round. Travis McCullough tkoed Dion Sgro in the first. Tyler Gould tkoed Ryan Gronvold in the first. And Jesse Barbot stopped Yancy Cueller in the fourth round.12/5/05
