Cedric Agnew (23-0, 13 KOs) stayed unbeaten with a unanimous decision over Sacramento's Otis "Triple O.G." Griffin (23-10-2, 9 KOs) to secure the USNBC light heavyweight regional title Thursday night in Dallas.

"The kid followed me around like a mommy for 12 rounds not throwing a punch and they gave him the decision," Griffin said. "I feel like Glen Johnson."


While he felt the outcome was not nearly as egregious as what occurred in a points loss to Shawn Hawk last year where he appeared to be the victim of a hometown decision, "Triple O.G." still lamented the way the fight transpired.

"He didn't run, but he just stood there like Winky Wright the whole fight," Griffin said.  It wasn't near as bad as the Hawk fight.  The kid has some pop.  I felt it on the gloves, but it is impossible to fight someone that isn't fighting."
