Undefeated Baltimore, MD welterweight Emmanuel "Tranzformer" Taylor will be in the main event bout at "An Evening Ringside" -- the card that will be held to benefit the Jonathan Ogden Foundation on Thursday, October 21 at Martin's Valley Mansion in Cockeysville, MD.
Taylor (9-0, eight KO's) will face Javier Perez of Ponce, Puerto Rico (7-3, five KO's) in a six-round encounter. Taylor is coming off a third-round TKO over Joey Ortega on July 31 in Charlotte, NC. This will be Perez's first bout since November of 2007 when he was stopped in the first round by Joel Torres in Guaynabo, PR.
Taylor's older brother, Maxell will also be on the card. The light heavyweight known as "The General" will take on veteran Ariel "Iron" Espinal of Brooklyn, NY in a four-round contest. Maxell Taylor (14-2-1, five KO's) returned to boxing action after a four-year absence and won a six-round unanimous decision over Francois Ambang. Espinal (8-16-3, four KO's) will be trying to break a four-bout losing streak and will be making his fourth trip to Maryland this year. This will also be Espinal's second appearance at the Ogden Foundation card. Espinal lost a six-round unanimous decision to Julius Kennedy in 2009.
Also on the card will be undefeated Baltimore light heavyweight Dale "Hit Hard as Hell" Robeson-El who will take on Frank Armstrong of Winston-Salem, NC in a four-round bout. Robeson-El (4-0, two KO's) won a four-round unanimous decision over Dan Shull on September 10 at Du Burns Arena in Baltimore. On that same card, Armstrong (4-15-3, three KO's) lost a six-round unanimous decision to Andre Hemphill.
The card will also mark the Beltway debut of Forestville, MD junior middleweight Alantez "Tez" Fox. Fox made his pro debut on July 31 in York PA, winning a four-round unanimous decision over Kevin Kibler. Fox will battle Michael Suarez of Cleveland, OH (0-1) on this card.
Two more bouts are slated for this card including a matchup featuring undefeated Omaha, NE lightweight Terrence Crawford (12-0, nine KO's) as well as a ladies bout between Jennifer Wood of Lynchburg, VA (1-0, one KO) and the debuting Carla Torres of Cleveland.
TKO Promotions is handling the boxing end of this event that normally includes a silent auction of athletic-based items.
