The boxing card seems to be set for the Saturday, October 6 boxing card at the Hilton McLean Tysons Corner in McLean, VA. As we've noted before the main event will be a crossroads Virginia cruiserweight matchup between undefeated "JC Superstar" Juan Carlos Robles (9-0, four KO's) of Waynesboro taking on veteran William "The Storm" Bailey of Portsmouth (7-12, four KO's).
There will be three other bouts on this benefit card to raise money for the family of Diego Corrales. Charlottsville, VA middleweight George "War Time" Rivera battles Portsmouth's John "JT" Terry. Rivera (4-1, two KO's) is coming off a four-round unanimous decision over previously undefeated Lawrence Jones on August 25 in Springfield, VA. Terry (2-6, one KO) is trying to break a five-bout losing streak. Both of Terry's wins came in visits to the area as he defeated out-of-towners Michael Dickerson and James Shedrick in consecutive bouts at BXF Gym in Millersville in 2005.
Making his pro debut on this card will be Baltimore featherweight Angelo Ward. Ward, a former Golden Glove champion, will take on James "Boo" Franks of Norfolk, VA (2-3, two KO's).
Rounding out the card will be Roanoke, VA's "The Freak of Nature" Charles Norwood (originally from DC -- 2-1, one KO) taking on Baltimore's Ron "The Rock" Reaves (2-0, one KO.)
The card is being promoted by Jimmy Lange Enterprises, in association with Jackie Kallen's Ice Promotions. The matchmaker is Joe Hensley.
Because this is a benefit show, here's how you can get tickets: Tickets are limited for this intimate affair with table seats (includes three course dinner) available for $350, $250, or $175; with a limited number of general admission tickets selling for $100. Fans can purchase tickets by calling (703) 536-6060.
