'Da Heat' Hemphill Visits Valley Forge!

Woodbridge, VA light heavyweight Andre "Da Heat" Hemphill will be in action in a featured bout on a December 29th card at the Valley Forge Convention Center in Valley Forge, PA.

Hemphill (6-5-1, three KO's) will participate in his first scheduled eight-round contest as he faces undefeated Chucky Cavallo of Trenton, NJ (12-0, three KO's.

Hemphill has recently turned his career around, going 2-0-1, one KO in his last three bouts, all against previously undefeated boxers. He looked particularly impressive in his last outing, a second-round TKO over Joe McCreedy on October 28 at the Mohegan Sun Casino in Uncasville, CT. I have seen footage of that bout and he did look very tough, much better his last outing here along the Beltway, a six-round unanimous decision loss to Willie "For Real" Williams at Martin's West on September 14.

Hemphill has also been one of the busiest boxers along the Beltway. The match against Cavallo will be his ninth bout this year.

You're a prospect-killer Andre. Do your thing and don't try to pace yourself, you're in shape boy. Call me if you read this.
