Sakima Mullings, 31, the boxer who is seeded No. 1 in the Wray and Nephew Welterweight Contender 2014 series, punched his ticket to the finals Wednesday night, with a dramatic technical knockout (tko) victory over Donovan 'Police' Campbell, the winner of the 2012 title, at 1 minute and 56 seconds of round four.

Mullings will now meet Tsetsi Davis, the No. 3 seed, and the winner of the first semi-final on July 9, at the National Indoor Sports Centre. Davis scored a unanimous points decision over Howard Eastman from Guyana on June 18, and sent warning signals to Mullings immediately after the fight last Wednesday, with a challenge inside the ring that left Mulllings smiling, and promising to answer him with his fists in two weeks time.

It was apparent from the first round that Mullings had no intention of fighting for eight rounds. After a brief feeling-out process when both boxers looked tentative, Mullings suddenly opened up an started throwing hard punches to the body and head of his opponent.

There was a furious exchange between the two boxers in the last 10 seconds of the round, and the standing-room-only crowd loved what it was seeing, and cheered wildly.

There were great expectations as the second round started, and there was a buzz in the newly branded Wray and Nephew Colosseum, downtown Kingston, the venue for the semi-finals, as Mullings came out on the attack once more. He was on to Campbell in a flash, and a mixture of short jabs and hooks to the head, and vicious body shots, had Campbell in trouble. Campbell tried to fight back gamely as he is a true competitor, but he could find no answers.
