The Babie Girl Productions card on Saturday, August 4 at the Renaissance Hotel in DC has been updated. There are four local pro debuts on this card and one for a boxer from nearby Newport News, VA and they all have matchups now.
Flyweight Tyrieshia "Baby Girl" Douglas of DC will be taking on the equally-debuting Ashley Langston of Wilson, NC. DC heavyweight Danny Kelly begins his pro career against Donnie Crawford of Winchester, VA (1-5-1, one KO). DC welterweight and former National Golden Gloves champion David "Day-Day" Grayton will take on Wilson, NC's Gregory Joyner (0-2) Also, Gregory Newby, a light heavyweight from DC, will battle Jadell Wells of Canton, OH (0-4).
In another pro debut, Newport News, VA heavyweight Jerry Forrest will take on Jeremiah Williams of Cincinnati, OH (1-8).
Also on the card, White Plains, MD lightweight Terron "The Kid" Grant (2-0, one KO) looks to stay undefeated when he takes on David Warren Huffman of Akron, OH (0-8) in a four-round contest. Huffman was in DC on March 10 and lost a four-round unanimous decision to Renaldo Gaines. In another female contest, DC heavyweight Kaelon Hollon (2-0) battles in a four-round rematch with Kasondra Hardnett of Philadelphia, PA (1-4). Hollon won the first bout by majority decision on the March 10 card at the Washington Convention Center.
The main event, we've been told, is firmed up but we are waiting for confirmation on the opponent for Capitol Heights, MD light heavyweight Henry "Sugar Poo" Buchanan. We do know that the opponent will not be Dhafir Smith. The co-feature will have two veteran heavyweights from North Carolina -- Donnell "The Real Touch of Sleep" Holmes of Ivanhoe (33-2-2, 29 KO's) matches up against Wilson's Maurice Winslow (3-16-1, three KO's).
This is crazy. All the opponents have a total of what, 2-50. Anybody can make these pro debuts. How can you get respect by beating up a bum?
ReplyDeletewho would want to see (33-2-2, 29 KO's) versus (3-16-1, three KO's).
ReplyDeletealot people wouldn't fight these guys
ReplyDeleteSaw Jerry Forrest and Danny Kelly fight in Waldorf a few years ago in the regional Golden Gloves. It was a great fight, with Forrest winning a decision. Maybe they'll eventually fight as pros. Both of them have the potential to be good pros.
ReplyDeleteMaybe they will eventually fight as pros?
ReplyDeleteThat doesn't matter now ,what matters now is That bald guy from wilson North Carolina is bringing a truck load of guys off of the street and calling them pro fighters.
It'sw good to see somebody promoting but C-Mon man, Atleast one or two people have to fight.
This really is a discrace of a boxing show
the Skip Crumpler's of the world are vital to the ebb and flow of boxing, he has all levels of fighters that can meet most of promoters needs.
ReplyDeleteHe got guys you need for an up start prospect. Unless you are an Olympian or World Amateur champion you should be fighting guys that Skip and othes can provide..
rumor are that 2 time goldenglove champion Antonio mostgreat Williams was supposed to make his debut on this card aagainst on of the hw fighters.
ReplyDeleteMyself and others only coming to see danny and dayday make they debut.Should be alot action with them two on the card.I can't
ReplyDeletewait.
ReplyDeleteSorry everyone Danny Kelly and David grayton is not fighting
ReplyDeletedamn its no point to come now if they not fighting
ReplyDeleteHey Gary
ReplyDeleteDo you know if thats true that Danny Kelly and David grayton is not fighting on this card?
this card really weak now. why they not fighting
ReplyDeleteDanny in David grayton sum shit if its not Harold fighting or dusty fightin am not tryin to see them bums
ReplyDeleteHarold get touch up by lil dusty
ReplyDeleteLet dayday debut against Harold on the 24th I bet dayday stop him . I bet Harold camp won't take that one lls
ReplyDeleteU dude better ask Barry hunter Harold will kill that kid
ReplyDeleteAsk Barry what? Just ask harold he know about dayday and I know dayday very well and I'm sure he will stop Harold . Harold dont want no parts of dayday but if he have the heart to jump out there then set it up for the 24th. My money is with dayday by a knock out.
DeleteDanny and dayday are some great fighters . Keep working hard and stay focus . When you have haters that means you doing something good so keep it up . DMV always been like crabs in a bucket.
ReplyDeleteLook I wish Harold the best and wasn't worry bout him and I'm sure they not worry about him also but you came on here commenting dumb shit but if Harold ready for that work he and you know where headbangers gym at and harold still have Barry number I'm sure of that . Make it happen then .
ReplyDeleteUnless something has happened in the last 48 hours, Kelly and Grayton are still on the card. Their opponents are set and they will be there Saturday. I will know more by the end of the day -- if there is any more to know.
ReplyDeleteWhat is the point of putting Harold Parker and David Grayton against one another so soon? Parker has two pro bouts, Grayton is going into his pro debut. A gym war at this point means absolutely nothing.
ReplyDeleteLet's wait until they have established their careers before we even think about this one.
Gary I was just gonna chime in on that nonsense!
ReplyDeleteHarold won't be fighting Dayday anytme soon. Harold has his fight the 25th at the DC Covention Center already signed and sealed.
Like Digital said gym wars do nothing for both guys! Why don't we develop our local talent first before we get them knocking of each other in 4 rounders!
Both guys are really good! Lets focus on developing these guys instead of starting an Internet Fantasy Boxing League
See you all at the DC Convention Center on the 25th!!!!
It is sure to be a great show!
ReplyDeleteDavid Grayton just informed me and his followers via Facebook that his bout is indeed off the card on August 4. No word was given why. I will have a full report later today after I talk to people involved with the card.

ReplyDeleteHarold Parker is the shit! He will make you fart with body shots. Ask Redman, he knows.
ReplyDeleteDay do not go there. There's no need. It's low levels, come on most of the ugly comments are anonymous!
ReplyDeleteThis is your first pro-fight, and more to come.... You have plenty of supporters and that's all you need. FORGET ABOUT THE HATERS!
Continue to focus. It's nothing but the enemy!
Focus Day-Day!!!
ReplyDeleteDay Day,
ReplyDeleteYou have a fight Saturday, these people have time to focus!
You have always be a great fighter, and PROVED YOURSELF plenty of times!
No need for back and forth comments on the internet.
When you have HATERS, You must be doing something right!
Where they do that at... THAT'S DEAD!!(in my Day Day voice)
I wonder if former boxers like Keith Holmes, William Joppy, Andrew Council and others hated on each other during the start of their careers. If so I never heard about it.
ReplyDeleteI can now confirm that both Kelly and Grayton will be indeed fighting Saturday night.
ReplyDeleteTo answer the last comment, it was respectful but there definitely was a rivalry. Holmes and Joppy defended their titles on the same card twice -- once at the Show Place Arena and another time at the Verizon Center. There were press conferences to try and pump up a prospective bout between the two, but it never happen.
ReplyDeleteSome things were said especially harking back to when the two sparred against one another, but there was no malicious talk, no name calling. Both men did their best to act in a professional manner and they did so.
Council was also very professional in the days leading up to both bouts against Holmes. He never faced Joppy in the pros.
Thanks Gary, that's how all I'll hometown boxers should act toward each other. It should be about helping each other reach their highest potential.
ReplyDeleteFella lets start working together in the gym and not against one another in the streets. That's how many great fighter are lost.
Day Day is Gay Gay
ReplyDeleteYep, Day is Gay
ReplyDeleteIs Day Day really a homo?
DeleteI totally agree with u Gary & I can't believe the dude left his phone # for Mr Grayton to call him! What grown ash man does that & what for? I wish all the local talent well & especially Mr Grayton in addition to everyone who's on the card tonight representing to DMV....
ReplyDeleteThnk u Cryss
