Thanks to a reader for this tip. Two local veteran Beltway Boxers are scheduled to be involved in a boxing card on Dec. 6 in Memphis, Tennessee. You won’t believe who one of them is.
One of them will be Perry Ballard of Leesburg, who will be participating in his first bout since losing a fourth-round technical knockout to Jimmy Lange at the Battle of Virginia on September 17 at George Mason University.
Ballard (17-1, 13 KO’s) will be fighting at his usual weight limit of 147 pounds when he faces Emmanuel Hutchinson of Spartanburg, SC in a four-round matchup. Hutchinson (0-4) is looking for his first career victory and also looks to avoid getting knocked out. Hutchinson has yet to go past the second round in any of his previous bouts.
The second name is the amazing one. Long time followers of the Beltway Boxing scene know and remember the name of Han “Sugar” Kim. Well, according to the information I received and my verification on Boxrec.com, the 43-year-old Silver Spring resident will be making his return after a more than three-year absence. No opponent has been named for this contest.
Kim has a record of 20-24-1 with 18 KO’s. Included on his resume are losses against former world champions Joey Gamache and Julio Cesar Vasquez and a technical draw against Andrew “Six Heads” Lewis. His last contest in July of 2002 resulted in a first-round KO over Sean Cox at the Leesburg Armory.
If I get results, I will certainly pass them along.
