Body shots were the weapon of choice for brothers Brandon and Gordon Berry on Saturday night as the boxing brothers from West Forks each achieved a significant career goal during a card at the Skowhegan Community Center. Brandon “The Cannon” Berry, the 34-year-old who promoted the show, won his second Universal Boxing Organization championship belt in the main event, knocking out previously undefeated Juan Maniuel Witt of Argentina in the sixth round to capture the vacant UBO International super welterweight title. Gordon Berry, 40, returned to the boxing ring after a 12-year layoff to make his professional debut and scored a first-round technical knockout victory over 35-year-old Lucinei Santos, a Brazilian now living and fighting out of Concord, New Hampshire. The younger Berry used his jab to work inside Witt’s defenses at the start of their scheduled 10-round championship bout, then spent much of the evening pressuring the taller Witt into the corners and against the ropes and then landing punishing left and right hooks to the body. “I never would have said it in the past, but I guess I’ve turned into a body puncher.
