Russell-Cole Rematch Scratched from Millersville Amateur Card Because of Rule Changes!

We are at the Jeter Promotions amateur card at Club One Fitness in Millersville, MD tonight.  We will provide a full written recap after the card is over -- no live blogging tonight.

The early news coming out of this card involves the feature bout for the card -- the rematch between Gary Antonio Russell of Enigma Boxing and No Xcuse's Jalonte Cole -- that bout has been scratched because of new rules enacted by USA Boxing.  One of those changes is a new age rule that prohibits a 19-year-old boxer from competing against an 18-year old boxer.  That is the rule that directly affected the Russell-Cole contest slated for tonight.

Again, we will have a full recap later tonight or early tomorrow.  We did, however, get an opportunity to talk with Russell about his outstanding year thus far.
