This is a big weekend for boxing fans along the Beltway. Not only do we have the card at the Patriot Center on Saturday, October 7, but there are other items as well
Friday, October 6-- ShoBox will have the semifinals of the Super Middleweight Tournament that includes our own Henry "Sugar Poo" Buchanan as he faces Jean Paul Mendy.
If Buchanan wins, he goes to the finals which will be held in January. By the way, this is a free preview weekend on Showtime, so more people should have an opportunity to witness this one.
If amateur boxing is more your style and you would like to make a trip to Ocean City, than Jake Smith's card at the Ocean City Convention Center on October 7 is the card to go to. According to Smith, the main event on this card will feature Steve Wheeler of Baltimore against DC's Mario Flores.
A special guest for the show will be former five-time world champion "The Pazmanian Devil," Vinny Paz.
One other note: Just wanted to let you know that I have been trying for the last seven days to get an audio interview with Buchanan and I couldn't get a hold of him.
As it turns out, it's a moot point because Blogger.com is having difficulties with its audio system. I did record an interview with Jimmy Lange about Saturday's card, but it has yet to post. Hopefully it will do so before Saturday. But I didn't want people to think I forgot about Buchanan's bout.
