Fight Night At Austin Peay Featuring Ty Tomlin

Michael Cook

One One Six Boxing Promotions and DiBella Entertainment are proud to present Fight Night At Austin Peay, Saturday, February 5. An evening of professional boxing featuring some of the most promising young boxers from the Southeast and beyond, Fight Nigh At Austin Peay will take place at the Winfield Dunn Center on the main campus of Austin Peay University. 
Fight Night At Austin Peay has nine bouts on the card, including the main event, an exciting lightweight matchup between Charlie Serrano and Ty "Short Fuse" Tomlin. A 22-year-old from Ashland City, Tennessee, Tomlin comes into his bout on Saturday with a record of 12 wins, 0 losses, eight wins by knockout. Currently ranked 29th in the nation among lightweights, Tomlin is well known for his powerful punching ability, however, he has focused on other apsects of his game for his fight with Serrano. 
“I've been doing less than weight training for this fight,” says Tomlin. “I've been working on a lot of bodyweight stuff and really working on my foot speed, so expect a faster, quicker, sharper version of me in February.”
Six of his eight knockouts and technical knockouts have come within the first two rounds, a statement of the natural power Tomlin possesses. However, Tomlin and his father and trainer Darryl Tomlin realize he needs to develop into a more well-rounded boxer as his career progresses. “I've always been known for my power and that comes naturally to me,” says Tomlin, “but when I put the speed and precision on it, it's going to be a beautiful thing to watch." Standing at five feet, eight inches tall, Tomlin - managed by DiBella Entertainment - will have a three-inch height advantage over his opponent, Serrano. Fighting out of Tampa, Florida, Serrano's record stands at 16-6 with, with five wins by knockout. The Tomlin-Serrano bout is scheduled for ten rounds.
