Travis “Rattlesnake” Hanshaw won
the vacant World Boxing
Federation (WBF) World Super
Middleweight title in impressive
fashion on Saturday night, June
29, impressively defeating game
co-challenger Aaron Quattrocchi.
In the main event of a show
promoted by East Coast
Promotions at the Boyd County
Community Center in
Catlettsburg, Kentucky, Hanshaw
boxed brilliantly, showcasing
dazzling hand-speed and great
movement, dominating the fight
with plenty of effective
combinations.
“Quiet
Storm” Quattrocchi, strong and
willing, did well to never stop
trying his best to turn the
tide, but Hanshaw, spurred on by
his many home-town fans from
nearby Ashland, was just a level
above and out-boxed him for much
of the way.
After twelve rounds of action
there was no question who the
winner was, and judges Tony
Hopper, Carlo Kellem and Ray
Powers all scored it widely for
Hanshaw: 119-109, 119-109 and
120-107 respectively. Referee in
charge of the action was Marvin
Whittamore.
The new World Boxing Federation
(WBF) World Super Middleweight
Champion, coming down from Light
Heavyweight where he held the
WBF Intercontinental title,
improved his professional record
to 15-1-1 (7). Quattrocchi drops
to 11-3-1 (5).
