I'm a little late on this one, but kudos to The Baltimore Sun on a nice article earlier this week about the growing popularity of newly-crowned USBA Cruiserweight champion Darnell "The-Ding-A-Ling Man" Wilson since his explosive 11th-round knockout over Emmanuel "Chukwu" Nwodo on June 28 in Staten Island, NY.
Reporter Kevin Van Valkenburg describes the increase in Wilson's popularity due to the posting of the knockout all over the internet.
Here's the link:

By the way, kudos to one of the best fight photographers in the business -- The Beltway's own Mike Greenhill -- whose photo was used for the article.
