Changes and Additions to October 23 Pikesville Card!

More bouts have been finalized for the Baltimore Pro Boxing card on Saturday, October 23 at the Pikesville National Guard Armory in Pikesville, MD.

Undefeated Baltimore welterweight James "Keep 'Em Sleepin'" Stevenson (13-0, 10 KO's) will take on Philip "The Mongoose" McCants of Philadelphia, PA (8-1-1, three KO's) in the six-round main event. Stevenson returns to the ring for the first time since his 10-round unanimous decision win over George Rivera on March 20 at Du Burns Arena in Baltimore. McCants is coming off a four-round unanimous decision win over Tyson Schweiger on September 11, 2009 in Philadelphia.

Undefeated Baltimore cruiserweight Steve "Show Stealer" Wheeler (6-0, five KO's) will now face Akron, OH's Bob Wilder (2-3, one KO) in a six-round co-feature.

Capitol Heights, MD super featherweight Thomas "KO" Snow will be in a six-round rematch against Jason Rorie of Winston-Salem, NC. Last time, Snow (12-1, eight KO's) won a close six-round split decision over Rorie (6-8-2, three KO's) on January 29 in Glen Burnie, MD. Rorie has fought twice since then, going 1-2 in his last three bouts. Snow has not fought since the first meeting.

In another rematch, undefeated DC heavyweight Maurice "Freight Train" Byarm (9-0, six KO's) will take on Mike Miller of Akron, OH (6-18-2, three KO's) in a six-round contest. Byarm defeated Miller on December 20 by unanimous decision in Fort Washington, MD in Byarm's first six-round contest. Miller will be trying to break a five-bout losing streak that started with the loss to Byarm.

The other three bouts originally announced remain on the card (Jed Phipps vs. Ryan Shay, Nick Kisner vs. Maurice Winslow and Lonnie Kornegay vs. Riley Brooks)

why the hell would you have a 6 rnd main go. if you cant afford to pay the fighters than dont promote.their are far to many shows and it produces watered down talent.eli hanover was the best promoter baltimore ever had. go back to his business model and start over.baltimore only need one promoter.wagner did good job back in the day when he didnt care who won.

I have a few questions. I'll be at the presser this evening. Will you Digie? LOL Or should I say Dijee?

#1) Phipps coming back so soon? Good. I may bring a young lady to her first fight card and I promised her she'd see a KO. With Phipps, it'll either be him or the oppoenent. But there WILL be a KO.

#2) On paper I'd say this guy McCants is a live dog. His only loss is to Henry Crawford when Henry was 3-0. The scores were close.

There is a reason Pete Stevenson hasn't been fighting. He should be 20-0 with with 15 KOs and making his Shobox debut. I know the reason he's not and I hope it doesn't catch up to him.

#3) You give McCants a real shot? I saw Pete fight a kid in Hager Hall who gave him trouble with his movement before he stopped him.
