On October 25, 2008 , undefeated 130-pound Texas boxing phenomenon James “Quick Draw” DuBois (7-0-0 w/3 kos) made his Cestus Management debut a memorable one by completely dismantling hometown fighter Darryl Watson in brutal fashion.  The end came at one minute, fifteen seconds of the second round as DuBois, using blistering hand speed, devastated Watson with powerful combinations.  The fight took place on the under card of the Standing 8 Production’s “Explosion over the Midlands ” boxing event which was held at the Township Auditorium in Columbia , South Carolina .  The local fans were stunned as DuBois (130 pounds) unleashed his entire arsenal and put on a clinic, completely dissecting the South Caroline native; with an impressive display of boxing aptitude and crushing punching power.

Right after the contest James said, “I felt great tonight and truly believe that i am going to have a big career, tonight was just  the begining  and  I know that with Cestus Management by my side,  I’m fully confident that I am on my way to the top.”

Mike Michael, who is Cestus Management’s founder, said, “Wow!  "QUICK DRAW" looked incredible as he really showed tonight his speed, power, skills and punch repertoire; his understanding of distance and timing are phenomenal".  "The local fans went absolutely crazy when DuBois opened up his attack and landed blistering hooks and crosses to both the head and body.”  Michael continued, "his opponent didn’t stand a chance as he was simply destroyed.  There is no doubt in my mind that this is the start of a journey to the top for James 'QUICK DRAW" DuBois.”

Cestus Management’s C.E.O., Gina Iacovou, said, “Anyone who knows a great fighter when they see one had to have been just mesmerized by James’ (DuBois) amazing skills.  We all got a small glimpse  tonight of a fighter that is a special talent and his opponent paid the price as “OUICK DRAW” displayed the talent and pedigree.”  Iacovou added, “We (Cestus) have proven yet again that our eye for talent is impeccable and with the plans that we have for James, he will become a fighter that will be in great demand”.
