About Me

- BATB is "The place to go if you want to know about any upcoming show or results, from amateur to the pros, in Virginia, Maryland and the District." -- Thom Loverro, The Washington Times. I've covered the Boxing scene in the Washington, DC/Baltimore area for 36 years. I was inducted into the Washington, DC Boxing Hall of Fame in November, 2009. I am also a feature writer for Fightnews.com. I was the play-by-play announcer on the TV series "Boxing Spotlight" which highlighted pro boxing along the Beltway. I have also appeared on numerous radio stations across the country talking about the sport. You can hear my audio commentaries, interviews and play-by-play calls by downloading the free Boxing Along The Beltway Podcast Network on Spreaker.com, IHeartradio.com, Stitcher.com,Tunein.com, Podcast Addict, Google Podcasts and Spotify! I'm also proud to say that I am in my 26th year serving as the public address announcer for Coppin State University Eagles Men's and Women's Basketball! I also cover boxing and the Washington pro football team for the Washington Informer Newspaper!

Thanks for your comment!
In my opinion, The Sun has done a lot better in its coverage of boxing over the years, especially since Lem became the boxing writer.
Unfortunately, as it is in most local papers, Lem doesn't cover boxing full-time. He is still on the high school beat, as well.
There is a new editor at the Sun who is fond of boxing and that has helped greatly. Usually when there is a Baltimore-area bout or someone from Baltimore boxing nearby, Lem is there.
Truthfully, DC's coverage of boxing is a whole lot worse! Neither the Post nor the Times or the Examiner seem to care about the DC talent. No paper sent reporters to last Friday's show at the Lincoln Theatre.
Yes, Lem is a good guy, but fat ass Dan Rafael never did anything for local boxing and he would take up two seats at the local fights but give zero coverage in USA Today.
I'm going out on a limb by picking Rahman. Here ihttp://jeboxing.blogspot.com/2006/02/rahman-toney-heavyweight-prediction.htmls the link to my prediction:
