It looks like the Beltway Boxing scene will be hitting the ground running in 2009. Already, there are three cards slated for January, although one card does not have a venue and another has not set a date.
The one card that has both a date and a venue will be the next Baltimore Pro Boxing card on Friday, January 23 at Martin's West in Woodlawn, MD.
Major League Boxing is slated to have a card somewhere in Virginia on Saturday, January 24. Virginia favorites George "War Time" Rivera, "El Guerro" Juan Carlos Robles, Todd "White Lightning" Wilson, Scott "Cujo" Sigmon and Adam "The Real Deal" Seal are all slated to be on this card.
The next Ballroom Boxing card at Michael's Eighth Avenue in Glen Burnie, MD is also scheduled for January, but no date has been officially set.
Meanwhile, Fightnews.com is reporting that there will be an ESPN2 card "somewhere in Maryland" on Friday, February 6.
Also, the University of Maryland Boxing Club will host the 2009 National Collegiate Boxing Championships at Ritchie Coliseum on April 2, 3 and 4.

singing 'somewhere' over the rainbow.
SugarPoo,
I just wanted to chime in and give you some advice, take it or not if this is really you. This is not how you go about getting a fight, be professional and hire a team that will work for you. Most of the people on this blog are boxing fans,promoters,matchmakers,etc. and they can make or break a career. Make the people love and respect you by the example that you set. Have a likeable personality. The bad guy bully image don't work so well anymore. Remember the fans are the ones that pay you. You work for them not the promoter. No ticket sales no you. You are a good fighter and you can go places. You just need to control your emotions, take your career seriously, train properly, and put the right team in place that will get you there. No disrespect to the team you currently have. Your time will come just be ready to step up. As a fighter all you should be worrying about is training and fighting not trying to make fights, thats what management is for. You will not sale yourself disrespecting people, threatening people and calling them out in a disrespectful manner (being playful or not). You are arguably the best super middleweight in the area and no one is going to fight you. The only fighters that makes any sense at all are Mike Paschal, William Joppy, and possibly Demetrius Davis. Call all three if they say no then move on. Do you have a manager? You should be looking for much bigger things than fighting on a local show in MD because there is no one around in that weight class at your level that would be willing to fight you on a club show. It just doesn't make sense. And by the way Jimmy Lange is a Light Middleweight that weighed 152lbs in his last fight and you were 168lbs in your last fight a 16lb difference. Now ask yourself if you were Jimmy would you take the fight and if so then you can call out Darnell Ding-A-Ling Man Wilson or Emmanuel Nwodo, ETC. If you add 16lbs to your weight that would make you a Cruiserweight. The point is, it just doesn't make sense. I noticed in your blog you said you were back, don't go back go forward and progress. Take my advice step your game up and go win a Title stop playing around. You are too good of a fighter to not be fighting. I don't know you personally but I've seen you fight. Best of Luck! God Bless!
Someone trying to give good advice in effort to help another.
