Sept. 15 Card Complete!

The Left Hook Boxing card slated for this Saturday, September 15 at the ABC Sports Complex in Springfield, VA is now officially set.

The main event is an eight-round Beltway junior welterweight matchup between Jaime "The Punisher" Palma of Alexandria, VA and Dean "Pitbull" White of Smithsburg, MD.

Palma (12-10-1, three KO's) has been on a roll, winning his last five bouts. In his last outing, Palma won the Virginia State Light Welterweight title stopping Artie Bembury in the fifth round on July 14 in Winchester, VA.

White (14-7-1, seven KO's) has lost three of his last four bouts, all to quality opposition. White's last four bouts (the win against Dorin Spivey and the losses to Monty Meza Clay, Verquan Kimbrough and Damian Fuller) were against opponents whose combined record was 97-10-2.

In the six-round co-feature, Front Royal, VA lightweight Andrew "The Doo Man" Farmer battles Jason Jordan of Akron, OH.

Farner (7-1, six KO's) last fought on the July 14 Winchester show, stopping Marcos Antonio Soto in the fourth round. Jordan (4-13-2) has lost eight of his last nine bouts. One of those losses came against Lenny DeVictoria on May 12 at the George Mason University Patriot Center in Fairfax, VA. Jordan has been a busy boxer in 2007. The bout against Farmer will mark his 13th in-ring appearance this year.

In four-round contests, undefeated Front Royal cruiserweight Terry "T-Brick" Roy will take on Levi Jackson of Greensboro, NC. Roy (5-0-1, four KO's) scored a fourth-round TKO over Joe Haggler of Woodbridge, VA on the July 14 Winchester, VA. Jackson (0-1) lost his pro debut, being stopped by Chris Vendola in the second round on July 20 in Greensboro.

Haggler will try to bounce back from his loss to Roy when he takes on "The Polish Warrior" Drew Wion of Sydney, OH. Wion (0-1) has not fought since he lost his pro debut to "Cold Blood" Patrick Budd on April 28 in Fisherville, VA.

Undefeated Arlington, VA junior welterweight Todd "White Lightning" Wilson faces a tough foe in Edward "Nucky" Anderson of Richmond, VA in a four-round contest. Wilson (2-0, one KO) is coming off a four-round unanimous decision to Henry Goss on July 14 in Winchester. Anderson (4-8, three KO's) tries to come back after a six-round unanimous decision loss to Jaime Palma on February 17 in Winchester.

In featherweight action, Dale City, VA's Andre "Clockwork" Nichols will battle the debuting Travis Mallin of Fairfax, VA. Nichols (2-1, one KO) is coming off a second-round TKO over Anthony Whigham on the July 14 Winchester show.

This card also marks the long-awaited return of Front Royal junior middleweight Tommy "Sparkplug" Neal. After winning his pro debut on August 19, 2006 against Montez Wilson at the ABC Sports Complex. Neal was involved in a devastating accident on his job, which almost cost him his life.

Neal will face Kendrick Archer of North Carolina (0-1) in a four-round contest.

Also, in a very strange matchup of two retired boxers, Dumfries, VA cruiserweight Derek "D-Mos" Amos will take on Willie "The Heat" Taylor of Falls Church, VA in another four-round encounter.

According to sources, verbal squabbling in the gym between the two men led to this encounter. Amos (14-25, 9 KO's) had announced his retirement after his second-round TKO loss to William Bailey on April 28 in Fisherville, VA. Taylor (13-23-1, eight KO's) has not fought since March of 1997 and has never fought above super middleweight. Taylor has been a popular trainer in Virginia over the past few years.

Seems like a fun show. Digital (or Scott Farmer), the first fight starts at 7, but what time do the doors open? Thanks.

It's a Sportplex, so it stays open most of the day. They should be set up and ready to take tickets by 6:00 - 6:30, but if you get there early you can play some PACMAN, or shot some ball or get something to eat at the concession stand. Are you going ACW?
