SALEM, New Hampshire — Portland middleweight Russell Lamour Jr. improved his professional boxing record to 13-2 Saturday night with a third-round technical knockout over Borngod Washington at Rockingham Park.
The 33-year-old Lamour, a Deering High School graduate nicknamed “The Haitian Sensation,” dominated the fight from the outset against Washington, a product of Queens, New York, who entered the bout with just three career victories.
The win was Lamour’s sixth by knockout and his first fight since last Nov, 14, when he lost for the second time in his career by unanimous decision to Thomas Falowo of Pawtucket, Rhode Island. Their most recent meeting was a battle for what had been Lamour’s USA New England middleweight title.
Another Maine pro, super welterweight Casey Kramlich of Raymond, also fought on the Rockingham Park card and scored a win by technical knockout when his opponent, Jason Kelly of Dorchester, Massachusetts, failed to answer the bell for the third round.
Kramlich was winning comfortably through the first two rounds, using combinations to the head and body to control his opponent.
Kramlich is now 4-0-1.
Two other members of the Portland Boxing Club won amateur bouts over the weekend at the Wyndham Hotel in Andover, Massachusetts.
Tito Morales of Portland, the New England Golden Gloves novice featherweight champion, won a unanimous decision over Jonathan DePina of Nashua, New Hampshire. Teammate Sasha Lamour of Portland, the cousin of Russell Lamour Jr., won by unanimous decision over Lorenzo Giovanni of Middleboro, Massachusetts.
