Pro Boxing Comes to Waldorf October 14!

Bobby Magruder, known to many in the area as the "Don King of Southern Maryland," will have his annual pro card on Friday, October 14 at the Jaycees Hall in Waldorf, MD.

The most notable name on the card is scheduled to be Baltimore junior middleweight Charles Clark. Clark (14-21-1, five KO’s) is a wily veteran of the fight game who has had tough going of late, losing his last 10 bouts and 13 of his last 14. Included in that stretch are losses to two members of the first “Contender” series; runner-up Peter Manfredo, Jr. and DC-area rival Jimmy Lange. Clark has also lost to veteran contender Tony Marshall and undefeated prospect Yuri Foreman.

Clark’s opponent is scheduled to be veteran Vance Garvey of Indianapolis, IN. Garvey (6-18-3, one KO) has also struggled, going 0-4-1 in his last five bouts. Garvey has been busy this year. His scheduled six-round matchup against Clark will be Garvey’s 10th bout in 2005.

In another bout on the card, Baltimore super middleweight Henry “Hurricane” Mayes will try to bounce back from a devastating knockout loss in his last bout when he faces Marvin Robinson of Richmond, VA in a four-round contest. Mayes (3-1, two KO’s) was starched by Alton Rice in the first round on May 24 in Woodlawn, MD. Robinson (3-2, two KO’s) has not fought since winning a four-round unanimous decision over Mike Eatmon in Sept of 2004 in Richmond.

Five other bouts will make up the rest of the card which will include the pro debuts of DC-area boxers Nick Caroleo, Pernell “Action” Jackson, Wayne Hampton and Jason Champion.

Caraleo of Waldorf will battle Derek Sierra of Silver Spring (1-2) in a light heavyweight battle.

Jackson will face Jonny Kinney of Cincinnati in a junior welterweight encounter.

Heavyweight Hampton of Laurel battles Oscar Colindres of Atlanta, GA.

Champion of Hillcrest Heights takes on Cincinnati's Chris Govan in a junior middleweight encounter.
