'Pit Bull' White Loses; 'Hammerhead' Hampton Wins in Lancaster!

Three Beltway Boxers were involved in a boxing card in Lancaster, PA last night, having mixed results.

Reston, VA lightweight Dean "Pit Bull" White lost in the main event of the card, dropping a six-round unanimous decision to undefeated Oronde "The Dog" Dawley. According to Boxrec.com, White lost by scores of 60-54 and 59-55 (twice). White's record falls now to 11-4, six KO's. Dawley is 12-0-1, four KO's.

However, Capitol Heights, MD heavyweight Wayne "Hammerhead" Hampton bounced back from a first-round TKO loss at Martin's West in October to score a second-round TKO victory over Scott Meehan of DC. Hampton is now 2-1, two KO's. Meehan is now 0-6 with five of his losses coming by TKO.

Another local heavyweight Derek "Hollywood" Amos of Fort Washington, MD was scheduled to appear last night on a card in Richmond, VA. However, Amos' trainer, Asim Hanif informed me that Amos was taken off that card because he is still under suspension in Pennsylvania. Hanif said that Amos passed all his physicals for the bout, but the Pennsylvania Boxing Commission has yet to lift the suspension.

By the way, our own Henry "Discombobulating" Jones served as ring announcer for that card, coming off a spectacular effort filling in for "The Fight Doctor" Jerome Spears as my color commentator for the videotape of the Martin's West card earlier this week.
