Front Royal, VA lightweight Andrew "The Doo Man" Farmer, Front Royal heavyweight Terry "T-Brick" Roy and DC heavyweight Cecil Smith have been added to the Major League Boxing Rising Stars "Return To Burn" card on Saturday, April 28 at the Augusta Expoland in Fisherville, VA.
Farmer (5-1, four KO's) is coming off a six-round unanimous decision win over Mike Salyers on February 17 in Winchester, VA. Farmer will be participating in a six-round bout against an opponent to be determined.
Roy (2-0-1, two KO's) fought Chris Brown to a four-round draw on the February 17 Winchester card. Roy will battle the debuting Moses Smalls of Front Royal on the April 28 card.
Smith (1-1) also returns to face off against "The People's Champion" Jonathan Felton of Stafford, VA (3-7, three KO's) in a four-round matchup.
Undefeated Waynesboro, VA cruiserweight "JC Superstar" Juan Carlos Robles (8-0, four KO's) will take on "Gentleman" James Johnson of Shreveport, LA in the six-round main event.
Also on the show, Dumfries, VA cruiserweight Derek "D-Mos" Amos will be in a tough battle against William "The Storm" Bailey of Chesapeake, VA.
Lexington, VA welterweight "White Lightning" Todd Wilson, a graduate of Virginia Military Institute, will be making his pro debut against "The American Dream" Jay Watts of Virginia Beach, VA. Wilson has moved his training to the Annandale Boxing Club. Watts (2-8, two KO's) won his last outing -- a first-round technical knockout over JP Flaim on December 9 at the George Mason University Patriot Center.
In other bouts on the card, Charlottsville, VA junior middleweight "War Time" George Rivera (1-1, one KO) looks to bounce back from his second-round knockout loss on February 17 in Winchester by taking on Warren, OH's Kenyon "King Kong" Kellum (0-1).
And in what might be the bout of the night, undefeated Norfolk, VA super middleweight Bobby Jordan, Jr. will take on Reuel Williams of Wilmington, DE in a four-round bout. Both out-of-town guys have fought along the Beltway and performed very well. Jordan (2-0-1, one KO) won a four-round unanimous decision over Willie "For Real" Williams in his last outing on April 21 in Pikesville, MD. Reuel Williams (4-1, two KO's) has all of his victories in Maryland defeating Beltway Boxers Nick Caroleo and Henry Mayes by knockout in his last two outings.

I saw Bobby Jordan beat Willie Williams. That guy can fight! And I saw Reuel Williams beat Nick Caroleo. That guy can fight too. WOW!
I'm glad Robles is staying active, that's what you do with a young prospect.
Please tell D Amos stop fighting. He hasn't won a fight in a while
The last two fights, especially the last, D-MOS fought with skill and heart and earned every penny along respect of the fans and his opponent, Robles, who's record is 8 0. I wouldn't be surprised if his fight with William "The Storm" Bailey is one of the most memorable fights on 4/28 in Fisherville. Why don't you buy a ticket and tell him yourself.
Damn Linda!!!
D Amos and a lot fighters have to much heart for there own good. Look at Deigo Corrales. That fight should have been stopped. Derrick will give his all but he has been taking a lot of punishment.
I understand what you are saying, especially when the fight is like the Corrales fight. I agree with that 100%. But that is not what I saw at Derek's last fight. I guess I need someone else perhaps more knowlegeable to give their opinion on that bout and whether he should think of quitting. I for one think he is very capable and not just riding on the heart...
No Linda, I think you're correct about "Famous" Amos. He still has a few more fights in the tank.
Sorry to say that the Jordan-Williams bout is now off this card. I hope to find out why soon.
