Great Falls, VA middleweight Jimmy Lange returns to action on Saturday, October 7 at the George Mason University Patriot Center in Fairfax, VA. Lange (26-3-1, 18 KO's) will face Thomas Wilt of Altoona, PA in a 10-round contest.
Lange will try to bounce back from a third-round TKO loss to Joey Gilbert for the NABO Middleweight championship on February 18 at the Patriot Center.
Wilt (20-5, four KO's) has won his last two bouts, both against Baltimore veteran Mike McFail. Both bouts were six-round unanimous decision wins for Wilt in West Virginia in March and May of this year. Wilt has defeated McFail three times in his career.
Wilt has fought many of the competition that, over the years, has come into the Beltway region from out-of-town including Daniel Craycraft, Martinus Clay, Leo Edwards and Vance Garvey. He holds victories over everyone of them except Edwards, who he lost by first round TKO.
Wilt has also fought Beltway Boxers Larry "The Gladiator" Brothers and Charles Clark, defeating them both by six-round unanimous decision. This bout will be Wilt's first scheduled 10-rounder.
Here's an amateur note to pass along: Nick Kisner, the son of local amateur boxing promoter Danny Kisner, recently won the National Cadet Junior Golden Gloves for the 15-16 age bracket in the 201+ pound division. Kisner won both bouts 1 on july 19 and his second on July 20th in Chattanooga, TN.
Kisner now goes to the prestigious Ohio State Fair Tournament next week. I'll check to see if any other Beltway amateurs were successful in that tournament and pass that information along to you.

Sweet. I'll be there on the 7th-any other info about the card yet? And unfortunately, because I'm now a grad student, I don't live on campus anymore, so a ride after the show to the Vienna Metro Station would be greatly appreciated (getting there won;t be a problem).
andrew farmer and mike sawyer are sure things(so i hear). I have also heard kay koroma, ray grant, and someone from "the contender (season one)", my guess is fraza or cooper. Should be a good show.
Lange needs to quit. Never could fight and never will.
Oh, I don't know "anonymous," he convincingly beat Ballard, and put up a decent effort vs. Gilbert.
Those short one lined statments are something to wonder about, Really does not say alot about the posters knowledgeableness of the boxing sport and the statement made about the boxer. Lange's record is not bad also his boxing skills are very good. Lange takes boxing very seriously, as a boxer should with the sport.
Ed
Andrew Farmer is a fighter to look out for! Hes gonna be big and he is the best of the best!
