There is some information trickling about two of the five cards slated for the month of November along the Beltway.
The Saturday, November 17 Left Hook Boxing card at the ABC Sports Complex in Springfield, VA has three bouts already made. Undefeated Front Royal, VA cruiserweight Terry “T-Brick” Roy (6-0-1, five KO’s) is slated to take on his most accomplished foe to date in veteran Fort Washington, MD cruiserweight George Holder (8-7, seven KO’s)in a four-round matchup. Roy is coming off his third straight first-round TKO, stopping Levi Jackson on September 15 at the ABC Sports Complex. Holder has not fought since August 31, 2001 when he was stopped in the third round by Russ Shifflett at DuBurns Arena in Baltimore.
Dumfries, VA cruiser Derek “D-Mos” Amos also returns to action against Arlington’s Jonathan Haggler in a six-round encounter. Amos (15-25, nine KO’s) broke a three-bout losing streak with a four-round majority decision over Willie “The Heat” Taylor on September 15 at ABC. Haggler (18-1, 13 KO’s) was also on the September 15 show and stopped Alonzo Cutchins in the first round.
And in what should be a solid matchup, two transplanted DC boxers will battle in a six-round middleweight matchup; Montgomery, AL’s John “No Mercy” Mackey (6-0, three KO’s) will take on Roanoke, VA’s Charles “Murdock” Norwood (3-1, one KO). Both men are originally from the Nation’s Capital.
Also slated to be on this card are Andrew “The Doo Man” Farmer, Jaime “The Punisher” Palma, Tommy “Sparkplug” Neal and Travis “O.T.T.” Mallin. Promoter Scott Farmer is working with matchmaker Joe Hensley on this card.
Meanwhile, There’s also preliminary information on the Ballroom Boxing card slated for Thursday, November 29 at Michael’s Eighth Avenue in Glen Burnie, MD. No matchups have been signed but promoter Scott Wagner is reporting that Carson McCourry, Danny Kisner, Horace “The Reason” Grant and Alexander “The Great” Johnson are all slated to be on the card along with the first Ballroom Boxing appearance as a pro for the undefeated Mike “The Persecutor” Paschall. According to Wagner, Paschall has fought at the Ballroom many times as an amateur, but this will be his first time as a pro.
Speaking of the amateur part of the card, heavyweight Nick Kisner will be back in the Ballroom on November 29.
We’ll have more info on all our November cards as it becomes available.
