An interesting lightweight rematch will be the main event of the Fight Night charity boxing card on Thursday, November 5 at the Hilton Washington Hotel in DC.
In the eight-round "Fight For Children" title bout, Smithsburg, MD's Dean "Pit Bull" White will take on Verquan "The Show" Kimbrough of Pittsburgh, PA. The two met on February 22, 2007 in front of a nationally televised (VERSUS) audience. White lost the first contest by a hotly disputed six-round majority decision.
For White (15-10-1, seven KO's), the loss started a tough stretch as he lost five straight bouts before winning an eight-round majority decision over Ryan Belasco on July 24 in Dover, DE for the WBF US Junior Welterweight title. Kimbrough (21-2-2, seven KO's) has won three regional titles (NABA, USBA and IBC) and lost a chance for a fourth when he was stopped by Jason Litzau in the third round on August 15 in Biloxi, MS for the NABF Lightweight title.
Also slated for action on this three-bout card will be Takoma Park, MD rookie middleweight Robert "Rated X" Reed (1-0, one KO) who will face Gabriel Pham of Atlantic City, NJ (1-0, one KO). Both men are coming off first-round knockouts in their pro debuts.
In a cruiserweight contest, Jamaican-born, DC-based cruiserweight Vinroy July (2-0, one KO) will take on veteran Kevin Hood of Lancaster, PA (5-11-1). After fighting twice in the Carolinas (including a first-round stoppage of Scott Hosaflook on August 29 in Winston-Salem, NC), July makes his DC debut on this card. Hood's last bout was in DC on December 20 when he was stopped by Horace Grant in the third round.

Didn't White win the WBF USA Junior Lightweight Title in that fight against Belasco???
He won a title but the fight was as close as they come.
Yea I heard, Belasco kept running from him!
What Title are they fighting for?
What happen to the big name fighters in the main event at fight night.Dean White come on can't we do better,he is ok for the undercard.
No official title -- just the "Fight For Children" title.
The budget for Fight Night is not as big as it used to be. But this is not a bad feature bout for the crowd that will be there -- not true boxing fans.
Don't you people underestimate
Mr White.He is capable of upsetting alot of people.Lets not forget Dorin spivey and a win over Belasco was a very credible win also. I'll agree he hasn't been on point for every fight but I think the man still has a little fire in the furnace and if you don't know how to fight him then he can frustrate the hell out of you.
