Preskar wins

Don King and some of his closest friends were treated to an
intimate night of championship boxing at the Miami Jai-Alai
Ballroom Saturday night. An invitation only fashionable
crowd of 300 guests were treated to some quality fights and
5 star cuisine. Surrounding the ring were elegant table
settings for the well-mannered and boxing talented crowd
that included Tim Witherspoon, Lou Duva, Shannon Briggs,
Kassim Ouma, Clifford Etienne and a cast of world
dignitaries.

In an entertaining four rounder of up and coming
heavyweight undefeateds, Mario Preskar (218 lbs.)
outhustled and outpowered Ruben Bracero (241 lbs.) over the
distance. A durable Bracero was game but a bit too slow for
the quick handed Preskar who looked impressive throwing
various combinations to the head and body of Bracero all
while avoiding Bracero's vicious power punches. All judges
scored the fight 40-36 in favor of Preskar who improved his
record to 3-0 (2Ko's) while Bracero drops to 2-1 (1Ko).

Preskar's next fight is at Mandalay Bay in Las Vegas,
Nevada Saturday May 15, 2004 on Roy Jones, Jr. vs Antonio
Tarver undercard.
