Two former world champions who are Beltway Boxing legends are slated to be a part of the next Major League Boxing card on Saturday, December 9 at the George Mason University Patriot Center in Fairfax, VA.
Former three-time world champion and future hall of famer Mark "Too Sharp" Johnson is scheduled to participate in an eight-round contest. Also, former WBO Cruiserweight champ Boone Pultz is scheduled to make a long-awaited return in a six-round bout.
Jimmy Lange is scheduled to headline the card participating in a 10-round contest. Also slated to be on the card will be Andrew "The Doo Man" Farmer and Tommy Wilt.
Remember, there are two cards in the area on Dec. 9. Clarence Vinson is scheduled to headline the show at the Lincoln Theatre in DC on that evening.

Sweet! Johnson's like a legend in the DC area, isn't he? I look forward to this event.
wow isnt that almost the same card that was such a fan favorite last month? major bum boxing is more like it
So Mark is making a comeback now? He does not need to be boxing anymore but yet another fighter who is pushing it!

Anonymous, why waste your time talking bad about the previous show? And besides, it was a great show last time. Every fight could have conceivably been the fight of the night! All the fights were competitive and several were all out wars. And many of the guys on the show were world class name guys: Jimmy Lange, Purcell Miller, Larry Marks, Anthony Bonsante, and Dorin Spivey. And anonymous, you will probably disagree but the guy Lange fought, Wilt, and the guy Spivey fought, Valenzuela, they could fight too! I've seen a lot of fights, and been around boxing a long time, and those guys were not bums! I don't understand you people that just want to bash others trying to do something positive for boxing. If you're a boxing fan, how could you not like that show? Sound like a lot of jealousy to me. Gary, you should really make these guys sign their name. It's not right for them to put people down, call them names, talk bad about them, and then sign anonymous. Anyway, looking forward to these fights and the fights in Pikesville tonight. Jake Smith always puts on a good show.

I will finaly get a chance to see TOOSHARP. I seen Mark out running down Haines point I didn't know he was getting ready for a fight. But he told me he had a couple fights left in him so want to see what he has left WOW this going to be a great show Gary where show are tou going to be at. People I would say one thing I look forward. I heard Mark have a 4 fight deal with the Gossen's
Gary are you going to have TOOSHARP on and isn't his nephew fighting that same day. I really want to see TOOSHARP. Gary do you.know if his farther training him because he didn't want Mark to fight. I will say this he told me that he wanted to retire in the ring around here so maybe this is what he's talking about. Mark I love you and I hope you do the right thing.you are just like me a old school fighter like me who can still beat some young fighters make sure you get paid CALL ME LATER B HOP
Warren,
I have tried to change the way the blog is so people cannot do anonymous posts, but I have been unsuccessful. I'll keep trying. Also, I'll see you tonight in Pikesville.
Man With Plan:
More than likely, I will be at the Patriot Center show. Nothing against Cassandra White (promoter) or Clarence Vinson, whom I'm very curious to see in action again.
I will be doing the play-by-play for the video of the Patriot Center show, so I have to be there.
I'm trying to get one of my writing partners from Fightnews to cover the Clarence Vinson show.
Digital-You said video of the show-do you know yet if, when, and where it will air?
Joe how did you get toosharp I know that hurt your budget Mark that's right paid Please don't end up like corey fighting with one eye and don't you work with the kids in DC DEPT OF REC ok retire in the area I think that's good for me and your fans
ACW,
Joe Hensley has the tapes and he is editing them. I don't know what he plans to do with them at this time.
Gary do you know who else is goint to be on the show. Man Toosharp is on this show.Gary I must I will be there. And Mark have a 4 fight deal with who
Gary are they trying to set up a Johnson-Vinson match and what weight are they fighting
I'd like to know if Dorin Spivey is going to fight Dean White.
The information I received about the card is all I know at this time. Joe Hensley said there will be more forthcoming, but did not elaborate.
Johnson will not be fighting Vinson because they will be on two separate cards on that night.
There is still talk of a bout between Dorin Spivey and either Dean White or Michael Warrick. But nothing is definite at this point.
A person who is close to the source yes Dorin is suppose to Dean they are waiting for Dorin people to ok it
I sure as hell hope that they get Mike Sawyer and Ray Grant on this card. They had a hell of a lot of fans there last time and didn't get to fight. Obviously, just being a fan, I don't know what the promoters have worked out with the fighters, but they sure as hell should give a sizable discount to Sawyer and Grant's fans this time around (if not let them in for free).
Bo
Hey Gary are you sure Toosharp-lange-pultz-sawyer-grnt I'm there Joe so far you have a great show now this is a great sow Dean and spivey
Sawyer is a bum, fight a guy who has at least 1 win. All his opponents are winless.
This is the information I received straight from the promoter.
No word yet on whether Grant or Sawyer will be on the show. Grant is scheduled to be on Monday's charity show at Martin's West while Sawyer is slated to be on the November 18 show at the ABC Sports Complex.
Sounds like too many fights, unless you have a bunch of quick KO's, or you start the show at 6:00.I'd hate to see the curfew bump some fighters from the show.
why did you say sawyer is a bum do you know him and if you are boxer would you fight him.Jimmy has been fighting bums. Thats how you do in boxing until you get 10 wins then you step.Paschall , Jessie ,sugar poo , Lamont , Anthony , Toosharp ,and every great fighter fought bums
Gary this turning out to be a great show. The last great show I went to was Toosharp and Authure Johnson.Dont forget about the MCI center that was good as well. Joe now we can leave you alone you are bringing some great fights back to VA and who is going to KO Spivey. Mike Warrick or Dean Pitbull because either one of them is going to KO him I bet you yhat if you are betting man
Thanks Joe. So the video'll be free then? Cool.
Thanks for the heads up, Joe. And yes, the "Digital one" is indeed first-rate.
;-)
Joe toosharp and I spoke and he said that you and Dorin didn't want to fight Mike warrick is that true and why. Joe you have a great show brewing.I look forward to this show
Hey Joe, is Ray Grant and Sawyer be on the card and do their fans get a discount because they didn't fight last time? Don't listen to "anonymous". It was a good show last time just started to late.
Bo
Joe-is that February show going to be yet another show at the Patriot Center? Also, this is just my opinion, but either at the Dec. show of the Feb. show (if it is in fact at the Patriot Center), you should let Money Mike Sawyer open the card-he is a Mason grad, after all.
Hey joe I heard Mark signed a 4 fight deal is it with your. Joe I think you are working on a great show for Dec and Feb So far who is fighting Spivey and did you sa y Warrick fight the winner. I think your should make those fights for a miner title. Who Mgt. Warrick
Joe are you working with any fighters from DC and can you tell me who else is going to be on the card
joe great you have answered alot of question. Are you working with any fighters from DC and did TooSharp sign a four fight deal with you. Scott and Jake since Mark said he want to retire in this area are you looking to have him on one of your shows.Once again turning out to be a great show.Who is fighting Spivey
Hey Joe, just FYI, Farmer has a fight sceduled before the Dec. 9th date too. I missed the last show but will be there this time. Good job man.
Kris Bishop
Thanks Joe but do you have anybody from DC on the show and if Spivey don't fight Pitbull would pitbull be open to fight Warrick or what will happen because you have Spivey on contract right. And now why are people calling him out I think Warrick MGT Toosharp seen some thing what you think
Farmer's scheduled to appear on his father's card on November 18 at ABC Sports complex.
Hey Gary did you hera about Sugar Poo he's in jail on Rape charges
Gary or Joe do they have fighters for Jimmy and Toosharp and what weight is Too fighting
From what I heard White agreed to fight at 137lbs, what's the hold up, is spivey having second thoughts?
I did hear that about Sugar Poo, but I have not put out anything yet because I don't have all the facts about the situation. Once I do, I will be putting out a story on this situation.
Gary is the. Show in DC still on I heard they are having problems with Vinson and the PRO
I'll find out more about the DC Dec. 9 show sometime this week.
Thanks Gary I look forward to hear from you. I spoke to Vinson and that's what he said he was upset that Toosharp is fighting on Dec he said because it feel like they are competting. And he also said he is happy to back and he had to go threw Mark to get back on track he would. G ary are you going to have him Mark and Terrible T because he said Tyson would fightMark fighte Warrick did you hear about this
I spoke to Cassandra White, the promoter for the December 9 show at the Lincoln Theatre. She says the show IS STILL ON! They are looking for another opponent for Clarence Vinson because one fell out.
Thomas "KO" Snow is also scheduled to appear on this show.
Joe-Let me say, I'm psyched about seeing Too Sharp-he could be considered a DC legends, couldn't he?
P.S. Thanks for putting the video from the Sept. 7 show up for free and not charging for it.
Gary so she and Vinson are ok I'm happy to hear that even though i think her show is in trouble she has know big names on the show what you think
ACW, Mark Johnson is a legend locally, nationally and internationally. The great thing about having Mark on this show is that it gives a rare opportunity for fans to see a future hall of famer in action. The fact that both Michael Carbajal and Chiquita Gonzalez -- two great JUNIOR flyweight champs -- went into the hall of fame last year virtually assures that Mark will go in when his time comes.
Mark will go down in history as one of the greatest boxers at 112 pounds in the last 20 years. I could spend hours talking about how great he was and how many fighters at that weight class avoided him.
What you will see on Dec. 7 will not be the same Mark Johnson that won three world titles, but still it's a great opportunity for the fans.
Gary I think you are right at a higher weight he. Will look better in this fight I guarante you he want Robert Guerra he said Eric didn't fight him right. Joe you pulled out all stops on this one Too sharp Bone it don't get know better. No disrespect to Cassandra and Vinson I would be out Va. Gary what would you do
Come on how much better can he get he's a Hall A Famer come on fool I'm happy to see him in the ribg we will see on Dec 9 if he's still agreat fighter
I will be at the Patriot Center show, primarily because I will be handling the play-by-play for the video.
But this would be a good night to learn how to be cloned! LOL
People on the blog I'm I'm ready to see what Pultz have left at his age
probably not much more then he had when he was in his prime.
Het gary do you know who is fighting at the Lincoln on Dec 9 I heard Adrian Davis is training Mark is that true I seen him leaving the gym and his father wasn't with him. I'm curious to know I will be there 2 morrow when he sparr he was talking trash when was leaving the gym look like he's happy to be back
I've heard Johnson well be fighting at 122.lbs. His 115 & 118 pound days appear to be (perhaps understandably) over.
Joe what Cemetary you went to. To dig up a dead man for Pultz, Lange, and TooSharp. Let me know. So I can fight at age of 39 Heavyweight
