His fan base conyear ago last September at the Bridgewater Vets Club, Willcox met a very tough opponent in the main event, Kadhim Alkhazaali. He did get Shea’s attention with a solid shot to the face in the opening round. He came out for the second round with a vengeance. A wicked body shot sent an obviously hurt Alkhazaali to the canvas late in round two and he was unable to continue fighting. “The kid was tough, fighting as he came forward,” Willcox remarked. “We knew he was a step up as an opponent, but we were ready. He kind of woke me up with that punch in the opening round. We always put in the work and trained to be sharp and ready for anything in the fight.” Willcox will be on Granite Chin’s Aug. 10th show in Revere, which borders Shea’s hometown of Everett.
