Taylor, Craig in Ballroom Main Event!

The main event for the next Ballroom Boxing show on Thursday, Feb. 9 at Michael's Eighth Avenue in Glen Burnie has been announced. Baltimore junior middleweight Maxell "The General" Taylor will take on 2000 Olympian Dante "Inferno" Craig in an eight-round encounter.

Taylor (12-2, five KO's)has not fought since his eight-round unanimous decision loss to Ahmed Kaddour in July of 2005 in Santa Ynez, CA.

Craig (15-4, 11 KO's) was originally scheduled to appear on tomorrow's "Fighting on the U" card at the Lincoln Theatre in DC against Purcell Miller, but apparently, he decided to be in a main event bout instead of an undercard bout. The native of Cincinnati, OH will go back to the scene of his last loss, a fourth-round stoppage at the hands of George Armenta in March of 2004. Since that loss, Craig has won his last six bouts.

I will have more info on the Ballroom card over the weekend. I hope to have the weights for tomorrow's card sometime this evening.
