In the main event, undefeated Baltimore welterweight James "Keep 'Em Sleepin'" Stevenson will battle Jose Angel Roman of St. Augustine, FL by way of Bayamon, Puerto Rico in a six-round rematch.

just read that Todd Wilson is fighting Eric Aiken at the Patriot Center.This is a good job by J.D. Brown and Perfect managment but it doesn't make it right. Everyone knows that Mouse has a bad Alchahol problem and shouldn't be allowed to fight.
The commission should not allow this type of thing to go on. In his day Aiken would knock out anybody in this area out cold.
Is their anyone else who sees this the way I do or does everyone have their blinders on or just plain out don't give a shit.

I have been told that Mouse has quit drinking and is training hard. The pre-fight physicals are there for the safety of the boxers. Wilson will show the people at the Patriot Center that he is a legitimate boxer.

I would like to see Dontra King punish Todd again or better yet give James Stevenson a try again. I think Dontra would get Stevenson this time. He would out box him

Mouse has quit drinking.
You obviously are somebody trying to give the fight some credability.It is a great thought but I seriously doubt he's put down the sauce.
I'm not trying to take anything away from wilson but don't try to take credit for beating a world champion.
