We are entering a stretch in which there are three pro cards in an eight-day stretch. Here is an update on all three of the cards.
Undefeated Glen Burnie, MD junior middleweight Lenwood "Mr. Composure" Dozier (5-0-1, two KO's) has been added to the Friday, April 24 card at the Shipley Arena in Westminster, MD. Dozier won a four-round unanimous decision over Ken Dunham on the last Westminister card on February 20. No word yet on who Dozier's opponent will be.
The opponent for undefeated Baltimore welterweight James "Keep 'Em Sleepin' Stevenson (7-0, seven KO's) on Thursday, April 30 at Martin's West in Woodlawn, MD has changed. Doel Carrasquillo is out and Parkersburg, WVA's Chad "Taz" Greenleaf is in for the eight-round co-feature. Greenleaf (11-11-1, five KO's) is coming off a six-round TKO victory over Jesse Williams on March 27 in Parkersburg.
And the Saturday, May 2 card at the George Mason University Patriot Center in Fairfax, VA is starting to round out. Undefeated Haymarket, VA welterweight Juan "The Savior" Rodriguez (2-0, two KO's) will take on DC's "The Capitol Punisher" Spencer Harsley (1-10) in a four-round encounter.
In a four-round light heavyweight rematch, Fairfax, VA's Otganbayer Daivii will battle "The African Warrior" Francois Ambang of Richmond, VA. Ambang (2-2) won the first contest by four-round unanimous decision on February 20 in Westminster and since then, looked impressive in a four-round unanimous decision victory over Darryl Johnson on April 11 in Lynchburg, VA. Daivii (2-2-1, one KO) has not fought since the February 20th bout.
A couple of four-round all-DC matchups will also be a part of the undercard. There will be a lightweight tussle between Kendrick "Holy Hands" Walker (1-2, one KO) and Taurean Edwards (0-1) and a heavyweight battle between Delonte Marshall (0-2) and the debuting Andrew Jackson.
The top of the card remains the same with the main event being the 12-round contest for the WBC USNBC Junior Middleweight title between Jimmy Lange and Frank Houghtaling; the eight-round middleweight co-feature between Purcell "Hard Rock" Miller and Thomas Wilt; the four-round female featherweight contest between Jennifer Salinas and Christina Leadbeater and the featherweight rematch between "Tattoo" Tom Mitchell and Yieta Johnson.

«Oldest ‹Older 201 – 206 of 206I have a good solution to the Cujo - Ridgway dilema. I fought Cujo in January, and he won a six-round unanimous decision (the fight is posted on www.majorleagueboxing.com). This was my first fight in almost 5 years, and I have shaken off alot of rust since that fight. How about me and Ridgway fight, and then if Ridgway beats me, he knows he's ready for Cujo. If not, I'd like another shot at Cujo. Everyone who knows he knows that I'm all about boxing...this comment has no personal implications because I respect any boxer that steps into the ring (Ridgway) and any boxer who has beaten me in the ring (Cujo). And, by the way, Joe Hensley promoted that fight, and he showed nothing but class as a promoter. Honestly, I think the competitive nature of both of these fighters is good for the sport. Look at how much people spent time to comment.
Al "Superman" Dill
nothing against you al, but ridgeway is a vicious boxer/puncher who could and would stop cujo within 4 rounds. i watched your fight with cujo and i think the best thing you could do is just let these to go at with out trying to complicate things anymore. personally i would like to see if ridgeway would fight cruiserweight, and go up against robles, bailey, and a few others. it is my understanding after talking to carlos diez ridgeway's trainer that the boy has power like the ding-a-ling man, but can work angles very well.
Al superman Dill my but.
Joe you just won't stop will you.
joe and gary, have either of you watched the kids fight yet? i want to know if he would match up with cujo. gary please give us your opinion on ridgeway, cause we all know joe will down play him!
Ridgeway vs. Sigmon is a good fight. I would like to see Ridgeway have a few more bouts under his belt. Not because Ridgeway isn't ready -- he is. But I think it will be a better bout because both guys will have more experience in the ring.
Both guys have good power and like to come forward. It should be a good matchup.
Justin would kill Cujo
