A. Douglas Maintains Busy Schedule; Harrison Receives Praise From World Champion; Salisbury Results!

A few brief News and Notes items:

Burke, VA middleweight Antoine "Action" Douglas will continue to be a busy man, according to his promotional group.

Douglas (6-0, four KO's) scored a second-round TKO over Juan Zapata on April 12 in Whitehall, NY.  Vito Mielnicki of GH3 Promotions, who co-promotes Douglas along with Greg Cohen Promotions, says Douglas will head right back into action very soon.

"We are keeping Antoine active and he will be on the ShoBox undercard on May 10 in Miami, OK," Mielnicki said in a press release.

No word yet on Douglas's opponent for that contest.

Also on April 12, DC welterweight Dusty Harrison won a six-round unanimous decision over Jonathan Garcia at Dover, DE.  The win impressed a very noted member of the boxing community -- world Super Middleweight champion Andre Ward.

"Dusty has tremendous talent and some natural attributes that are not common in many of the younger boxers such as patience, Ward said.  "He has a great team around him and the potential to be very successful in this sport."

As for the results in Salisbury from Friday night, I have yet to receive full results.  I have received bits and pieces on the card but nothing complete.  I need complete info.  Thanks to those who have posted results in the comments section.

Douglas kid is moving to fast for his own good with a lot of bad habits, Harrison kid is to comfortable fighting bums once he step it up he might get put to sleep. Yes there still young and still learning but seeing Action fight twice on Espn he looks to fight the same way he has fought since a youngster, Let the kid take his time and learn in the gym. Harrison slow your breaks what's the rush?

Douglas is doing great and will be on TV from here on out. He has people behind him. Harrison is getting paid crazy money. Why would he slow down. Stop hatin and start hustlin. Stay broke and hatin.

What about Poo vs Alexander Fight

I'm being told that bout will not happen but I will know more after Tuesday's press conference.

I wonder what the definition of "crazy money" is? Highly doubt he has crossed the $5K mark.

I doubt he hit the $2K mark.

Gary Digital Williams said...

That may change after the announcement on Tuesday.

Haters always worry about how large someones house is, how fancy the others car is, how much money he or she is making. They worry so much, they take time from helping themselves grow.

Man look at the game. Keystone has fights every other month with the same guys on there cards. I've watched those guys since they where young. They haven't improved. But they have a bunch of wins. Dusty fought under Keystone and built his record up. The same way other Dmv fighters are doing. So why judge our come out with the smart comments. To much PERSONAL hate in the DMV. I bet you guys shake there hands and smile in there faces. When you see them. Lets just stop with it all. You say these kids haven't learned our haven't changed. But let them grow.

Please please allow our young fighters from the DMV an opportunity to enhance their growth and development on a professional level. Most of them are not ready to step up their competition. Self discipline, dedication, commitment, hard-work and determination is very important at this level. So stop criticizing Dusty's accomplishments and the direction his career is going. He's a kid and how would you like it if someone always criticized your kid. We need to support everyone from the DMV because, when these young fighters start heading east and west of the U.S., the truth is going to come out regardless. We have a ton of young fighters who should be learning from each other. Joy Peace Happiness Love
