The first Beltway Boxing card of 2010 will be on Saturday, January 16 at Rosecroft Raceway in Fort Washington, MD. This will be a Baltimore Pro Boxing card.
Slated to appear on the card in the eight-round main event will be undefeated Baltimore welterweight James "Keep 'Em Sleepin'" Stevenson (12-0, 10 KO's). No official word yet on his opponent.
One of the six-round co-feature bouts will involve Windsor Mill, MD middleweight "Vicious" Julius Kennedy against Jayson Champion of Forest Heights, MD in a rematch of a bout that took place in April of 2006. Kennedy (7-1, three KO's) suffered his only pro loss to Champion by four-round unanimous decision in Pikesville in Kennedy's pro debut.
Kennedy is coming off a six-round unanimous decision over Ariel Espinal on November 5 in Cockesyville, MD. This was part of a solid 2009 in which Kennedy went 4-0, including a six-round majority decision win over Aaron Pryor, Jr. in Columbus, OH in April.
Champion (4-4, three KO's) has not fought since losing an eight-round unanimous decision to Jessie Nicklow in June of 2008 at Du Burns Arena in Baltimore. Two of Champion's four losses have come to Nicklow.
The other six-round contest features Bedford, VA light-heavyweight Scott "Cujo" Sigmon against the aforementioned Ariel "Iron" Espinal of Brooklyn, NY. This bout was slated to take place this month in Pennsylvania but was postponed because of the weather. Sigmon (7-1, three KO's) won by third-round TKO over Nicholas Schleich on August 29 in Lynchburg, VA. Espinal (6-11-3, two KO's) fought his last bout against Julius Kennedy.
Ferndale, MD cruiserweight "The American Child" Nick Kisner looks to make his pro debut against "The Mac Attack" Robert McConnell (4-3, two KO's) of Ellicott City, MD. Also, Omar Sims of Baltimore (3-2-3, one KO) will take on the returning Zain Shah of Centreville, VA (1-0, one KO) in a four-round junior middleweight matchup. Shah has not fought since making his pro debut in February 2006.
Undefeated and now second-year pros Emmanuel "Transformer" Taylor of of Baltimore and DC's Abodurin "Bo" Akinyanju are also slated to be on this card.

ReplyDeletesays fri the 15th
The info Jake gave me said the 16th. I will double check, however.
ReplyDeleteJan 16th. is the date.
ReplyDeleteTrust me!
is maurice byarm gonna b on that card cause everytime i saw him fight i was amazed and i would love to see him again
ReplyDeleteWow this is a shocker! Cujo is not fighting Ridgeway, and he has been running his mouth about how good he is. I am disgusted with him and his promoter. You come on here run your mouth about the guys family and then get called out in your home town. If you weren't going to fight him you shouldn't have accepted it buddy. You can say you would beat him all you want, but your actions speak a different story. Best of luck to the rest of the fighters.
ReplyDeleteThe Predictor
