| Transcript | TKO Tradition Sigma Chi Fight Night won big T i Kappa Alpha's Jed Davis squares off against Steve Hollingshead.Houstonian Photo. wo people going against each other in a boxing ring, one on one. It's the ultimate test in competition and physical ability. Fight Night, sponsored by Sigma Chi, presented twelve bouts to the delight of nearly 1000 people. All fights consisted of three rounds, each lasting one minute and thirty seconds. Sanctioned by the Gulf Coast USA Amateur Boxing Federation, the fights exemplified the excitement and intensity of the annual event. One fight placed Tommy Marino against Ignacio Valdes. Marino, who used short jabs, overcame Valdes' reach advantage and won the match. Another fight pitted previously undefeated veterans Jed Davis and Steve Hollingshead, both of whom had fought in three successive Fight Nights. Davis used a rapid-fire punching attack, while Hollinshead made frequent jabs with his long reach. It appeared that Davis would tire, but in the end, his great stamina allowed him to win by a very close margin. Dan Rappaport, who trains year round as a boxer, faced Kirk Laird for the heavyweight division title. Rappaport used his exceptional reach to stay away from Laird and got the victory. Fight Night began 15 years ago as a pledge project and has grown to become one of the largest Greek-sponsored events on campus. -Maury Blackman i Kappa Alpha fans roar during one match.
