Holly-Snow Added to March 3 DC Card!

According to Boxrec.com, there will be an interesting and, I think, somewhat dangerous bout added to the March 3 "Fighting on the U" card at the Lincoln Theatre in DC. Undefeated junior welterweight Thomas "KO" Snow of Capital Heights, MD will take on DC's Reggie "The Mechanic" Holly.

The matchup is interesting because we have Snow (2-0, one KO) making his DC-area debut after winning twice away from home. Both of Snow's victories have come in Winston-Salem, NC including his last victory, a four-round unanimous decision over Eric Rocha on February 18.

Meanwhile, Holly (5-1, 2 KO's) is coming off a subpar performance in his last outing, losing a six-round unanimous decision to Sheldon Rudolph on November 26 at the Show Place Arena. Quite frankly, Holly was dominated in that bout and, although he wasn't stopped in the contest, he was taken to a nearby hospital as a precaution because he took a lot of punishment.

This is a dangerous bout because it's the type of bout that could shorten a fighter's career before it really gets started. You have two guys who are very close in ability, from the same area who are going after each other early in their careers, and there is nothing at stake like a title or a lot of cash. I can point out examples (like Alan "Boogaloo" Watts and Bee Scottland) where the two guys met each other early in their careers, went through a war and neither man was the same afterwards.

This is a good bout for the fans. Let's hope it will lead to good situations after the bout for both men.

By the way, I plan to talk to the promoter of the card, Cassandra White, within the next 48 hours for an audio interview. I believe you will find this new promoter very eager and prepared to do well. If this card holds together, it will be one of the more fascinating cards held along the Beltway in quite some time. Check some previous posts for details about this card and I will confirm this card during the interview.

Also, stay close to WUSA-TV Channel 9. Sportscaster Joyce Jackson recently interviewed White and yours truly concerning this March 3 card. As soon as I find out the scheduled airing for this story, I will let you know.
