Coleman Battles Paris in Pontiac, MI January 29!
(photo courtesy of Team Coleman)
USBA Junior Welterweight champion Tim "Pitbull" Coleman of Baltimore has a big fight to start 2011. Coleman (18-1-1, five KO's) will face undefeated Vernon Paris of Detroit, MI (23-0, 14 KO's) in a 10-round bout on Saturday, January 29 at the Pontiac Silverdome in Pontiac, MI. The bout will be fought at a catchweight of 143 pounds and will be on the undercard of the Devon Alexander-Timothy Bradley title contest.
Coleman is coming off a solid third-round TKO over Patrick Lopez on a nationally-televised ShoBox bout on October 1 in Santa Ynez, CA. Paris last fought on November 12 in Royal Oak, MI and scored a fourth-round TKO over Ramon Guevara.
Coleman gave his thoughts on this bout in a recent press release.
On his victory over Lopez
"I know that Lopez’s people were very confident that he would beat me. Though I was defending my title I know I was being brought in to lose. I had other plans though and I made a big statement in front of a large television audience. There was a lot of talk about Lopez being a former Olympian but I didnt care about all that. He and his people must have been back in their dressing rooms a good 3-4 hours after the fight as they really took the loss hard.
On his opponent Vernon Paris
"We have actually sparred before. I can tell you he definitely is not a puncher. Like most midwest guys with a amateur background he can box. I know the midwest fighters get a lot of bad press but those with serious amateur backgrounds from there almost always have solid boxing skills. The boxing doesnt worry me though as I am not coming to box. I’m coming for knockouts from here on out. If Paris even thinks about disrepecting me at the pre-fight press conference or the weigh-in I will put him in his place quickly. Even in his hometown. He hasn’t fought anywhere near the competition that I have fought. Not even close. I will be the biggest name he has fought to date. I wouldn’t be surprised if I’m picked to be the underdog in this fight since I’m fighting in his backyard. After beating Lopez, Gary Shaw got options on my next few fights but I honestly don’t feel he sees me as one his fighters. I’m sure he will have more interest in me after I take care of Paris."
On his future
"A lot of people may not like the fact that I am so straight forward with my comments but that’s who I am. From here on out I’m coming to knock guys ASSES out!!!! Plain and simple. That’s what people want to see and that’s the only way I’m going to get a money fight. I’m giving myself a 3-4 year window to make major things happen in my career. Meaning money fights. I mean that’s what I am in this for. I see former fighters that are broke and worse than that in bad health from fighting. I refuse to end up that way. All I want right now is an opportunity to be in a major fight. I will take care of the rest once I get that."

A Wonderful Beltway Christmas Story!
My good friend Tammy Showalter of the Maryland Independent has a nice article during this season of giving. Recently, Old School Boxing Gym in Temple Hills, MD gave gifts to a number of youngsters who train at the gym. Many of these boxers would not have had a merry Christmas otherwise.
These gifts come during a rough stretch for the family of Old School's owner Buddy Harrison who recently lost his brother.
Here's the article -- another example of what all of the gyms in the Beltway Region do for the people they serve. A tremendous effort!

Corley Battles in Argentina January 21!
Former WBO Junior Welterweight champion DeMarcus "Chop Chop" Corley will continue his world travels into the new year. The next stop for Corley: Mendoza, Argentina where he will take on Argentinian Lucas Matthysee on January 21.
Corley (37-15-1, 22 KO's) is coming off a 12-round unanimous decision loss to Serhiy Fedchenko on November 13 in the Ukraine for the WBO European Junior Welterweight title. The Matthysee bout marks a return to Argentina where Corley had one of his better performances in a unanimous decision loss to Marcos Maidana on August 28.
Matthysee (27-1, 25 KO's) is coming off a close 12-round split decision loss to Zab Judah for the vacant WBO Junior Welterweight title on November 6 in Newark, NJ.
Apparently, this is a bout that Matthysee's promoter -- Oscar De La Hoya -- wanted from the start after Matthysee's loss to Judah. "I would like to see him back in the ring in the not to distant future against a solid test like former world champion DeMarcus “Chop Chop” Corley,” De La Hoya said in a transcript of a phone conversation that appeared on Fightnews.com. The bout will be shown on Telefutura in the United States and HBO Plus in Latin America.

Sigmon, Byarm Win East Coast Titles in Pikesville!
Middleweight Scott "Cujo" Sigmon and heavyweight Maurice "Freight Train" Byarm captured East Coast championships in front of a raucous crowd at the Pikesville National Guard Armory in Pikesville, MD.
Sigmon, cheered on by a large throng of supporters from the Lynchburg, VA area, defeated Windsor Mill, MD's "Vicious" Julius Kennedy by 10-round unanimous decision. The extremely exciting bout was marred and momentarily stopped by a melee outside the ring involving fans from both camps. During the actual bout, Kennedy hit Sigmon with some hard shots but Sigmon seemed to walk through them. Sigmon looked more in control than ever before as he moved forward with purpose and landed good shots from awkward angles. Kennedy lost two points courtesy of referee Bill Clancy because of low blows and fought most of the bout with a right eye that was closing throughout the contest.
Sigmon is now 13-2, five KO's while Kennedy is 7-2-1, three KO's.
Byarm stopped a very game Winston Thorpe of Columbia, SC in the fifth round. The stoppage came during a tough battle of southpaws. Byarm almost had Thorpe down in the third round but Thorpe battled hard to stay in the contest. By the fifth round, however, Byarm's punches became too much and referee John Gradowski stopped the contest 51 seconds into the fifth.
Byarm is now 10-0, seven KO's while Thorpe is 3-1-1, two KO's.
In another feature bout, Tori "Sho Nuff" Nelson of Ashburn, VA won a six-round unanimous decision over Shelley Seivert of Severna Park, MD in a rematch of their draw in May.
Nelson seemed to land the more effective blows in the contest, however Seivert was coming forward more in an aggressive manner. Nelson's punches seemed to be the difference in the contest.
Nelson is now 2-0-1 while Seivert is 4-2-1, one KO.
In other bouts on the card: Devin Butcher of Baltimore wins four-round unanimous decision over Stephen Franklin of Martinsburg, WVA. Butcher is 2-0 while Franklin is 1-2, one KO.
Dale "Hit Hard as Hell" Robeson-El of Baltimore won by second-round TKO over Ariel "Iron" Espinal of Brooklyn, NY. Robeson-El is 6-0, four KO's while Espinal is 8-18-3, three KO's.
Baltimore heavyweights Lonnie Kornegay and Riley Brooks battled to a four-round draw. Kornegay is 0-3-1, Brooks is 0-1-1.
Baltimore Pro Boxing promoted the card. The matchmakers were Jake Smith and Josh Hall.
