A huge win for one of our Beltway Boxers. Silver Spring, MD cruiserweight Darnell "The Ding-A-Ling Man" Wilson scored a second round TKO over Canadian Dale Brown last night in Edmonton, Alberta, Canada.

With the win, Wilson captures the Trans America Cruiserweight title and raises his record to 20-5-3, 17 KO's. Wilson also became the first person to beat Brown on Canadian soil.

Darnel and Emmanuel would be an awesome fight.
It'd be a good fight but Nwodo would win. He's bigger, stronger, and more polished.
Oh, what is this I read??? Darnell "Oh Canada" Wilson???!!! And he told me he was leaving early to go DUCK hunting -- not 'CANUCK' hunting! LOL!
I didn't even now this fight was happening! What an outstanding victory for Darnell, and one that will hopefully propel him on to further heights in the greatest of all divisions -- the cruiserweight division! (A.K.A "The Lt.Hvy's of Yesteryear") Is Brown a bit on the downslide? Yes. Is he still a top-notch 200-pounder? No. But this was still a VERY good victory!
(Yes, I'm a West Coast guy, but as some here know Wilson is one of my favorite fighters. No, he's not the most 'polished' of pugilists, but the guy just flat-out-brings-it. 'It' being the 'two E's' -- effort and excitement! He also has one of the most likeable, engaging, and humourous personalities in the world of boxing. You just can't help but like the 'Ding-a-Ling-Man'.)
* I've long said that a guy that reminds me alot of Darnell is the late Julian "KO" Letterlough. Oh...Lord have mercy, WHAT a lt.hvy or cruiser clash THAT one would have been folks...Good GRIEF!
