The Saturday, November 20th boxing card at Boardwalk Hall in Atlantic City, NJ will have a real Beltway Boxing flavor to it as no less than four local boxers and one who is currently training in the area will be on the card.
The main event features the man training in this area, two-time world champion Paul "The Punisher" Williams as he faces Sergio Martinez for the WBC Middleweight championship. This is a rematch of their battle in December of 2009 that Williams won by 12-round majority decision. Williams is 39-1, 27 KO's. Martinez has a record of 45-2-2, 24 KO's.
The co-feature has DC heavyweight and title contender Tony "The Tiger" Thompson (34-2, 22 KO's) in a 10-round contest against "The Italian Hitman" Paul Marinaccio (24-5-3, 11 KO's) of Cary, NC. Thompson has won three straight bouts since his title loss to Wladimir Klitschko. Marinaccio has lost two straight to Michael Grant and Ryan Thompson.
Another 10-round contest will see an all-Beltway matchup as undefeated Salisbury, MD middleweight Fernando Guerrero will take on Takoma Park, MD's Willis "The Prophet" Lockett. Guerrero (19-0, 15 KO's) is coming off a tough 10-round unanimous decision win over Ishe Smith on July 16 in Southaven, MS. Lockett (12-10-5, five KO's) has lost his last three bouts to Keith Holmes, Jerson Ravelo and Aaron Pryor, Jr.
Also on the card, undefeated Arlington, VA junior welterweight "The Mongolian Mongoose" Bayan Jargal will take on possibly his toughest competitor to date in Philadelphia, PA's Steve Upsher Chambers in a six-round contest. Jargal (15-0-3, 10 KO's) fought his last bout in Atlantic City at the Tropicana Hotel and Casino and went to an eight-round draw against James Hope on July 17. Chambers (22-1-1, six KO's) has won 11 bouts in a row.
