This new poll comes out of personal curiousity. The Saturday, November 1 ICE Promotions card that will take place at the George Mason University Patriot Center in Fairfax, VA is, in my opinion, a very unique card because it has a number of bouts that will interest different sections of the Beltway Boxing Community.
Therefore, the poll asks which bout on the card is the most interesting one to you. It does NOT ask who you think will win a particular bout. I'm just curious to see what bout will most people come to see on the card. Please participate.
By the way, Ben "Miracle" Odamattey is a late switch for the bout featuring Thomas Snow. Originally from Ghana, Odamattey (13-11-2, five KO's) is now training in "The Lion's Den" camp in Silver Spring, MD. This bout will be Odamattey's first in the United States.

no offense Mr. Williams, but this just seems to be you rather blatantly hyping this show. This is the first time on the history of the blog that I have seen where you have singled out a specific show, and clearly not one of the most important shows in the area during that time, and started a poll to pick the most interesting bout. That is a load of baloney. Let me guess, who is doing the commentary during the show for ICE promotions?????
sounds like someone is a paid shill....ouch.
It would be far better to just call it like it is then to hide your bias behind the ruse of blog journalism.
But maybe I am wrong, so say it aint so and prove me wrong!!!!
If BATB is going to be a shill for ICE Promotions that is fine. But one would think that he covers everyone in a fair manner. But if he is going to promote shows that pay him to do announcing and not ones that do not hire him than he should admit it
Linda you at times are a very interesting Photographer and even
have some inteligent comments of your own once in a while but you must stop taking up for all your promoter buddies and especially Mr Williams when somebody critisizes
him.After all he critisizes everyone involved in boxing and does it publically on this website
and those who he sometimes critisizes have alot more experience in the sport than him.
You are a huge asset to boxing in the area but if mr Williams gives his opinion on everybody then he must be able to take others opinions about him as well and not consider them personal attacks.
He also is a big boy and can take up for himself.
on what basis does Linda think that she knows what is or what is not a good show? certainly it is not because she has a clue about what makes a good fight or a good fighter. she takes pictures that is all. It does not qualify her as a judge of talent on any level.
as to the issue of digital- he does do a lot for boxing in the area and everyone I think would agree to that. In terms of bias though I do not know. If he was a journalist, then it would not be right for him to be plugging shows that pay him over shows that did not. But I do not think that BATB qualifies as journalism and I am not sure that Gary would qualify himself as a journalist.
isn't this just a local boxing rag?
every time one of joe hensleys fighters are fighting there is a poll ,or a contest on this website
and you know how they all have went.Those people in Staunton can cast a vote over and over and over.
Gary should be paid for this blog and I am sure he is not. If he is paid in another capacity of what he does so well... COOL. Gary has given hundreds ON HIS TURF , where you attempt to dictate what is appropriate or not for him. If his spotlight doesn't suit you, get lost.
What's your problem? cover for you? Did you not pay him? Are you not in the limelight now? On you. Not Gary.
I singled this card out for this poll because this is a very unique show for what we have had lately.
We have not had a show in quite some time that has had as many local prospects in what should be considered competitive matches on the same card.
If you have followed my history, then you would know that I have done similar polls on bouts that have been of interest to the Beltway Boxing Community. This is the first time, however in the four-year history of BATB that has had a card where there are more than two local bouts that are interesting.
This has nothing to do with my role as a commentator for this show. I also do commentary for Baltimore Pro Boxing and Ballroom Boxing as well as Better Promotions, and Babie Girl Promotions. Except for Better Promotions, which has had only one card, I have done polls based on those shows.
This is based on professional curiousity, nothing more.
And for the record, I have talked to the promoters of the card a grand total of...ZERO times since this card was announced.
Well if Linda doesn't know this or that, why do you loser ANONS keep stokin', me?
Get it straight now:
I LOVE:
promoters
boxers
commissions
ring cards girls
G"D"W
fans
and whoever/whatever I want.
There's a lot I haven't known...but, if you haven't been paying attention... there's a lot I do know now, and that probably includes you.
I pretty much know who everyone is. Every post.
Stop making me your fog-n-mirrors. If you have something to say, flipping say it and don't waste your time with a clueless photog.
H E N S L E Y FOR P R E S I D E N T ! ! !
come on linda i like to see what else can you do sexy
Linda your proving exactly what I said. and I have no doubt you know who this is.You are like me and everyone else you hate to get chastised in public.And thats the exact point I was making earlier.
If you give it then you have got to be able to take it.Just because Mr Williams calls himself a critic doesn't mean he is immune from criticisms you know I've have taken it on the chin quite a few times on this blog .And yes Gary has did alot to let people know about boxing in the area but as these posts are proving it stirs alot of negative feelings and causes alot of hard feelings between people that normally wouldn't have any problems.
Well here's eating my words for sure.
If you are who I think you are, I know where you are coming from.
And I could just shake you! All you have and are building on , to get caught up in anything less than that!
Call me and I will be glad to come slap you!
linda must've picked up a bad stash somewhere... she's on the warpath!
what is "G"D"W"
Gary "Digital" Williams
Back to the point, Nicklow vs Rivera will be a great bout.
Aiken v Rodriquez
Asim
this was a great card even on the undercard. it's sad haggler was to scared to fight my boy and canceled last minute like that. i guess there is always next show.
