Promoter Scott Farmer brings a boxing card to the ABC Sports Complex in Springfield, VA on Saturday, August 19.
Headlining the card will be Farmer's son Andrew. The undefeated welterweight from Front Royal (2-0, two KO's) will fight for the first time in his native VA. Both of Farmer's previous bouts have been in Martinsburg, WVA, including a second round KO over Deangelo Ginyard on June 17. Farmer's opponent has not been officially determined.
The card also marks the Beltway return of Virginia lightweight Jaime Palma. This will be Palma's first bout in the area since a six-round unanimous decision win over Jose Luis Almanzar in DC on February 5, 2005. Palma (7-10-1, one KO) is trying to break a two-bout losing streak and will take on Randy Dobbs of Cincinnati (5-19, three KO's). Dobbs recently broke a six-bout losing streak with a four-round unanimous decision over Elliot Bland on July 21 in Lexington, KY.
Also scheduled for the card is Stafford, VA heavyweight Jonathan Felton (1-3, one KO). Felton is coming off a four-round unanimous decision loss to Phil Brown on June 21 at Martin's West.
Felton is scheduled to battle Martinsburg, WVA's Juan Robles. The undefeated Robles (2-0, two KO's) defeated Andre Shavers by first-round KO on June 17 in Martinsburg.
In another scheduled matchup, Front Royal's Robert Monroe will take on Montez Wilson of Camden, NJ in a middleweight matchup. Both boxers will be looking for their first win. Monroe is 0-1 while Wilson is 0-5.
I'm not gonna be able to go to this one (I'm disappointed, but it doesn't seem like I'm missing anything too much). But Digital, I'll see you at the Patriot Center show in October?
ReplyDeleteIs that the same Monroe that fought Adam Bloom? If so, he lost a lot of weight.
ReplyDeleteSorry to bother, but does anyone have the address to the ABC sports complex and or know how to get tickets?
ReplyDeleteThe address is 6728 Commercial Drive in Springfield, VA.
ReplyDeleteAs far as getting tickets is concerned, I think the only way is to get them at the door.
What time does it start?
ReplyDeleteIt's scheduled for 7:30, I think!
ReplyDeleteBy the way, Monroe will not be fighting Montez Wilson on the card. That was my error. Monroe will be boxing Tommy Neal who will be making his pro debut.
ReplyDeleteSounds fun - see ya there
ReplyDeleteI got there late who was the pony-tailed guy...he got knocked down in the first round but brought it on to win....whats his record?
