October 12 DuBurns Card Coming Together!

The Baltimore Boxing Pro-Am card scheduled for Friday, October 12 at DuBurns Arena in Baltimore is coming together.

The co-main event bouts for the card will be a scheduled six-round contest between Baltimore's Henry "Hurricane" Mayes and Middle River's Tony "Cyclone" Cygan. Mayes (6-3, four KO's) recently broke a three-bout losing streak with a four-round majority decision over Jacob Rodriquez on June 22 at DuBurns. Cygan is making his first appearance since August 12, 2006 when he defeated David "Weezil" Estrada in the fifth round in Ocean City, MD.

The other main event will be a very interesting bout between undefeated Baltimore welterweight Tim "Pitbull" Coleman and Doel Carrasquillo of Lancaster, PA. This bout was originally scheduled for eight rounds but may be changed to a 10-round bout. Coleman (12-0, two KO's) is boxing for the seventh time this year and he is coming off an eight-round unanimous decision victory over Richard "Tiger" Lee Hall on August 25 in Ocean City. Carrasquillo (10-5-1, eight KO's) was stopped in the second round of his last outing against undefeated Mike Torres on July 20 in Philadelphia.

Also on the pro card will be "The Golden Greek" Elias Bouloubassis of Reisterstown, MD (1-0-3, one KO) as he matches up in a rematch against Rakeem Carter. The two men fought on May 11 at Duburns and lasted only one round when Bouloubassis was cut by an accidental headbutt.

Former WBO Cruiserweight champ Boone Pultz will be battling Darryl Holley of Brigantine, NJ. Pultz (25-1, 15 KO's) has won seven straight bouts over a period of 14 years. Holley (5-5, one KO) is looking to break a five-bout losing streak.

And Baltimore super middleweight Willie "For Real" Williams returns to take on veteran Corey "The Boss Man" Budd of Lima, OH. Williams (6-2, two KO's) is coming off a tough six-round majority decision loss to Willis Lockett on September 27 in Glen Burnie. Budd (8-16, seven KO's) broke a 10-bout losing streak with a four-round majority decision victory over 10-1 Marty Flynn on September 13 in Dickson City, PA.

The amateur card features Brandywine, MD heavyweight Seth "Mayhem" Mitchell and a matchup between Baltimore's Steve Wheeler and Salisbury's Alex Guerrero, the older brother of Olympic Trial participant Fernando Guerrero.
