AND THE WINNER IS: Ed "Thoroughbred" Williams is all smiles after winning his professional boxing debut. He won by TKO in 43 seconds in the first round over Mike Fitzgerald during a bout in the Convocation Center Oct. 26. Williams, an EMU junior from Detroit, majors in industrial distribution. Students in two of his classes — taught by Bob Teehan, coordinator of EMU's industrial distribution program — applied their course lessons about marketing and business relationships into real-world use and helped promote Williams' fight.
