Wade Battles in Mississippi; Sawyer Returns in Michigan; Rivera Bout Off in Pennsylvania!

Undefeated Largo, MD middleweight Dominic Wade returns to action tomorrow night at Fitzgerald's Hotel and Casino in Tunica, MS. Wade (6-0, five KO's) will participate in the co-feature bout when he faces Michael Faulk of St. Paul, MN (2-0) in a four-round encounter

Wade went the distance in a bout for the first time in his young pro career in his last outing, winning a four-round unanimous decision over Robert Kliewer on April 16 in Salisbury, MD. Ironically, Kliewer will be in the main event on this card in an eight-round contest against undefeated Shawn Porter.

This will be Wade's fourth trip to Tunica. His three previous bouts all ended in first round knockouts.

NOTE: This is an update where apparently, Wade's scheduled six-round bout was called off. The bout will be shown for free on www.gofightlive.tv.

Saturday in Sault Ste. Marie, Michigan, Falls Church, VA light heavyweight "Money" Mike Sawyer returns to action in a four-round bout at the Kewadin Casino. No official word on who his opponent will be. The promoter of the card is boxer Ron Krull, who will be in the main event against Jonathan Corn. Krull has fought a number of Beltway Boxers in his career, including Han Kim, Emmanuel Nwodo and Purcell Miller.

One bout that will not take place was scheduled for tomorrow in Reading, PA. Charlottsville, VA junior middleweight George "War Time" Rivera
was slated to take on Keenan Collins at the Sovereign Center, but BATB has learned that Collins received an injury in training and promoters could not find another opponent for Rivera.

Gary, have you heard anything about the card that's supposed to take place in the Hamptons?? My barber just told me about it (had to get that fresh cut) and Shannon Briggs is supposed to be on that card as well.

Must be big because he said Adam also said something about a press conference and everything (Adam gets his hair cut by the same dude/ We live in the same county).

To add to what I first posted. Seal is fighting Daniel Judah (Zab Judah's younger brother).

When did Seal drop to LW though??

Money Mike.
Do I need to say anything else.

I know Shannon Briggs has two bouts coming up a week apart. One is tonight in Capitale, NY but Seal-Judah is not on this card.

Next week, Briggs is scheduled to battle Rob Calloway at the Scope in Norfolk. I haven't heard whether Seal is on this card. Daniel Judah is a light heavyweight, by the way.

That's the info. I found Gary. It names Seal as Judah's opponent.

Justin and mike would be hugging and swapping spit in the middle of the ring before the first round was over.
How does Ridgeway's name always get brought into the mix?
Please don't get the rumor started
that these two are fighting.
Enough is enough.

Green River has got to have some BATB record for the most mentions and the least number of fights. Despite all of the lip, he's still undefeated.....at 1-0, right?
