Two interesting bouts highlight a card on Saturday, August 16 at the Renaissance Portsmouth Hotel and Waterfront Conference Center in Portsmouth, VA.
The main event will be a matchup of popular Virginia cruiserweights as Waynesboro's "El Guero" Juan Carlos Robles takes on Portsmouth's William "The Storm" Bailey.
Robles (9-1, four KO's) will be trying to bounce back from his eight-round TKO loss to Rob Calloway on March 15 in Allentown, PA. Bailey (8-14-2, five KO's) is a tough veteran who has won three of his last five bouts, but is also coming off a loss in his last bout, a second-round KO loss to Larry Robinson on May 9 in Philadelphia, PA.
The co-feature bout has Takoma Park, MD light heavyweight Willis "The Prophet" Lockett taking on tough, undefeated Bobby Jordan of Norfolk, VA.
Lockett (10-5-4, four KO's) has not fought since December of 2007 when he lost a six-round majority decision to Willie Williams in Pikesville, MD. Jordan (4-0-1, two KO's) is coming off a six-round unanimous decision over Antonio Baker on March 14 in Norfolk.

The two best cruiserweights in the state are fighting a week prior to
this show in Salem VA
Dont forget about T-BRICK...
Just what two Cruiserweights do you think I'm talking about you Gump.
Way to throw insults, Dipshit.
How about we concentrate on the winners of the two winners of the cruiserweight contests and match them?
Bo
Mosquito dung it is...
But what'd you think of my idea to match the winners, Senor Dipshit?
Put them on the same card to build it up & then let them fight eachother for the state title...
Joe & Scott are you listening?
Respectfully of course,
Bo
Was that Bo or blow
Wish I could be there. You are 2 of my favorite fighters! Reggie, if you read this blog...give me a call. I lost your #.
The Lockett-Jordan fight should be of particular interest to Willie "for real" Williams. Williams has faced both of these men and also has lost to each of them. Williams was able to come back and exact a bit revenge against Locket by beating him in a rematch. Jordan on the other hand seems to have been some what inactive. We haven't heard much of anything from him.
Lockett is a crafty and gutty fighter who always comes to fight. Jordan is nothing to play with either. This should be one of those match ups that gives the boxing fans plenty of excitement and drama. I personally don't know who to give the edge to in this fight. All I know is these men will give you all they have.
If I know Wille Williams, and I do, he will be very interested in this fight and its outcome. He will be wondering if he can back at the only man who has beaten him as a pro and he has not gotten back at and beaten.
Well its going to be hot. See you there. Chin from the honeycomb boxing gym
