A couple of updates to pass along about upcoming cards:
Undefeated Oxon Hill, MD light heavyweight Alexander "The Great" Johnson has been added to the Baltimore Pro Boxing card on Friday, February 29 at the Pikesville National Guard Armory in Pikesville, MD. Johnson (4-0, three KO's) is slated to fight John Terry of Bayboro, NC (1-0, one KO) in a four-round contest. This will be Johnson's first outing of 2008. In his last outing, Johnson won a four-round unanimous decision over Zeferino Albino on November 29 at Michael's Eighth Avenue in Glen Burnie, MD. Terry won his pro debut by first-round knockout over Herman Marshall in June of 2004 and hasn't fought since.
Riverdale, MD heavyweight Horace "The Reason" Grant was originally scheduled to be on the Pikesville card but Grant will now appear on the After Shock Events card on Saturday, March 8 at the All Star Legacy Gym in Ashburn, VA. Grant (11-1, seven KO's) is scheduled to take on veteran Maurice Wheeler (10-11-1, one KO) of Philadelphia, PA in a six-round contest. Grant has won 10 in a row, including a six-round split decision over Cornelius Ellis on January 18 in Pikesville. Wheeler will be looking to break a seven-bout losing streak that includes defeats at the hands of Tony Thompson, David Tua and Davarryl Williamson.
UPDATE: I've just been informed that the Grant-Wheeler bout is now off this card.

What else do you know about the Bayboro, NC fighter? We'd like to do a story for the paper and would appreciate any help.
Email me and I may be able to give you a contact for him. I don't know much about him myself.
