I mentioned some of this news on a recent BATB Post-Fight Wrap-Up show but did not post this info on the blog. This coming Saturday, September 25 in Tunica, MS, three undefeated Beltway Boxers will be in some of the big bouts on the card at Fitzgerald's Hotel and Casino.
Largo, MD middleweight Dominic Wade (8-0, six KO's) headlines the show in a six-round contest against Freddie Montoya of Montebello, CA (3-1, two KO's). Wade is coming off a first-round knockout over Troy Lowry on July 17 in New Town, ND. Montoya will be trying to bounce back from his first pro loss which took place on October 24, 2009 to Fernando Calleros in Acoma, NM.
Capitol Heights, MD super featherweight "Mr." Gary Russell, Jr. (11-0, eight KO's')will be in one of the six-round co-feature bouts as he takes on Willie Villanueva of Albuquerque, NM (9-2, two KO's). Russell will be looking for his seventh straight knockout after stopping veteran and former world champion Mauricio Pastrana on July 22 in Los Angeles. Villanueva will be looking to break a two-bout losing streak. In his last outing, Villanueva was stopped by Randy Arrelin on May 7 in Albuquerque.
In a four-round encounter, Salisbury, MD cruiserweight Alex Guerrero (3-0-1, one KO) will look to continue his winning ways as he faces Dustin Schnakenburg of Grain Valley, MO. (4-2, three KO's) Guerrero will try to bounce back from his first pro draw on April 16 in Salisbury. Schnakenburg is on a two-bout winning streak, capturing a four-round unanimous decision over Mario Munoz on March 26 in Kansas City, MO.
This card sets us up for what will be a very busy October with a number of Beltway Boxers participating in important bouts on the road. We will also be busy at home with three local cards in a nine-day period. Here's a chronological look of what is slated to take place in October:
On Friday, October 1, USBA Junior Welterweight champion Tim "Pitbull" Coleman of Baltimore makes the first defense of his USBA Junior Welterweight title against two-time Venezuelan Olympian Patrick "El Elegante" Lopez at the Chumash Casino Resort in Santa Ynez, CA. The bout will be the main event on ShoBox: The New Generation on Showtime. Coleman (17-1-1, four KO's) is coming off a 12-round decision win against former world title challenger and hometown favorite Mike Arnaoutis in New York in his last fight on Dec. 3, 2009. He has won three fights in a row since his only loss in October, 2008. Coleman is currently ranked No. 15 in the IBF and No. 18 in the WBC. Lopez is 20-2, 12 KO's.
Here's what ShoBox analyst Steve Farhood says about the matchup:
“Coleman-Lopez is a good boxer-puncher matchup, and it’s coming at the right time. “Coleman is on the rise. This fight has real meaning as a crossroads matchup and the winner is going to be in commanding position to take the next step.”
On Saturday, October 2, Laurel, MD junior welterweight Ikem "The Warrior" Orji (6-3, two KO's) will be in an eight-round co-feature bout against undefeated Brian Miller of Schenectady, NY (8-0-4, three KO's) at the Turning Stone Casino in Verona, NY. Orji is coming off an eight-round unanimous decision loss to Rod Salka on June 30 in Pittsburgh, PA. Miller was in an eight-round draw in his last outing on September 11 in Albany, NY. Miller battled with Floriano Pagliara for the WBF All-Americas Lightweight title. Miller is the defending champion but is not scheduled to defend his title against Orji.
Wednesday, October 6 finds undefeated Eldersburg, MD light heavyweight and USBO/NABO Youth champion Mark TNT Tucker in a non-title eight-round contest against an opponent to be named at BB King's Blues Club and Grill in New York City. Tucker (14-0, seven KO's) had a tough win in his last outing -- an eight-round unanimous decision over Billy Bailey on June 19 in Oakland, CA.
The very next night -- Thursday, October 7 -- will have a former Tucker opponent -- George "El Gallo" Armenta of Silver Spring, MD. Armenta (13-6, 11 KO's) will try to break a two-bout losing streak as he faces James "Buddy" McGirt, Jr. (22-2-1, 11 KO's) of Vero Beach, FL in an eight-round contest at the Pensacola Civic Center in Pensacola, FL on the Roy Jones-Danny Santiago card. Armenta was stopped in his last outing in the first round by Edwin Rodriguez on March 19 in Durant, OK. McGirt is coming off a second-round knockout of John Mackey on April 3 in Las Vegas.
On Friday, October 15, undefeated Brandywine, MD heavyweight Seth "Mayhem" Mitchell (18-0-1, 12 KO's) will try to keep his knockout string going as he looks for four-in-a-row at the Fantasy Springs Casino in Indio, CA. No word on his opponent, but the bout is slated to be Mitchell's first scheduled 10-round bout.
Then we head home for the first of our three local cards. This will be the Jonathan Ogden Foundation card on Thursday, October 21 at Martin's Valley Mansion in Cockeysville, MD. Scheduled to appear on this TKO Promotions card will be The Taylor Brothers (Emmanuel and Maxell) as well as undefeated heavyweight Maurice "Freight Train" Byarm of DC and the Beltway debut of Capitol Heights, MD junior welterweight Alantez Fox .
Two nights later -- Saturday, October 23 -- the action switches to the Pikesville National Guard Armory in Pikesville, MD. Scheduled to appear on this card is multi-belt champion James "Keep Em Sleepin' Stevenson as well as Steve "Show Stealer" Wheeler.
Then on Saturday, October 30, there will be a card at the Masonic Temple, 1000 U Street, NW in DC. The Babie Girl Productions card is slated to include Tony "Mo Better" Jeter fighting for a regional title as well as the return of 2000 Olympian Clarence "Untouchable" Vinson.

Getting busy I like it, Also don't forget the Patriot Center show on Nov 6th and PayDay Promotions debut show in DC on November 10th
The Patriot Center show is not a boxing show it's a joke.Jimmy will fight with somebody twenty pounds lighter and if the guy lands a punch it will be like, oh excuse me I didn't meen to hit you that hard Jimmy now let me back up and fall down for you. You and your dad just make sure I get paid for this.I would like an extra $500,00 for making it look real.And Jimmy is not a nice guy he is a Prick.
Tucker cuts through the competition like a hot knife through butter!
Welcome back lil adam...Gary who is the mainevent for the Oct 30th card?
Jeter and Vinson are in two GBA (Global Boxing Alliance) title bouts. They are billed as the co-main events.
Gary is it true that Bobby Magruder has a show the same night as the Patriot Center?
Yes, that is true, at the Waldorf Jaycees. Actually, Magruder announced his date first.
Tucker is really, really gay!!
I heard that about Tucker too but I don't care as long as he can box.
That's well known about Tuck but its OK because the boy can box
Bobby Magruder's professional boxing show is going to be held at the Waldorf Jaycees Community Center in Waldorf on Saturday, November 6th with an 8 pm starting time.
Good luck, Bobby!
Gary ,thanks.
I think you will get much more competative fights at Bobby Magruders show. We all know that two or three of the fights might be real at Langes show but that Jimmy and the selected few will get easy money.
Do we have a line up of fighters
for both shows?
Gary as usual you keep us posted
on the latest and for that I thank you.
Effrem Zinblas Junior
Appreciate that. No official word on bouts for either show as of yet.
Bobby always puts a good pro card together.
ONE BIG QUESTION?
WHERE WILL YOU BE NOVEMBER 6
Hate to put you on the spot "but"

Buddy Boy
I would guess that Gary realizes that the Patriot Center Circus is just about over and he will have his hind parts parked at a table
at ringside at the Greater Waldorf
Jacees November the Sixth.
You would guess wrong, more than likely. I am the blow-by-blow announcer for the ICE Promotions videotapes, so I'm pretty much contracted to be there. Unless something changes, I will be at the Patriot Center.
BATB does indeed plan to have coverage of the Magruder Promotions show. I'm having one of my Fightnews colleagues at that show.
I wish I could be at both places, but I haven't figured out that cloning thing yet!
You could always send Joe Hensley to the Patriot center and you could go to Magruders show.Just think, Johnny Lange and Joe Hensley
could do a halftime show just before Jimmys simulated professional fight. They could start at the top of the arena and by the time they got to floor level Johnny would look like Joe.
He wouldn't have a lock of that Elvis Presley hair left because joe would have pulled it all out.
You know how a tough fight sort of bonds fighters like brothers,well this could be a way to patch things up between the two
foes.Joe Hensley was right in being mad at Lange.The fucking guy is a thief and a cheat in the fight game and he blames it on J.D. Brown or somebody else in his orginaztion when he fucks somebody over in some way.
You may have already committed to the Langes but we know you want to be where the real fights are and not in Fairfax Nov 6.
Hey Gary have you ever heard of Rumplestiltskin.With one big stomp he split himself in half.
And then there was two.I would like to watch as you try to split yourself.
Global boxing Alliance.
Get to fuck out of here,where did this fictisious sanctioning body come from?
Little Elmo
GBA is a sanctioning body out of London England
NEWS FLASH
There is a new Sacntioning body out of the Washington Metro area
it is called The Booba Humba Booba
Alliance of the Greater Washington
group of well Wishers for a title
group.And next week it might be called something else so stay tuned for the announcement of the new name.
Signed
