There has been a lot of movement on the Madness Boxing card slated for Saturday, December 14 at the Walter E. Washington Convention Center in Washington, DC. The card has a number of changes, however, some matchups are set.
Oxon Hill, MD super middleweight Alexander "The Great" Johnson is still in the main event and he will face "The White Tiger" Angel Rios of the Bronx, NY in an eight-round contest. Johnson (14-1, six KO's) is coming off a second-round TKO over Simon Ruvalcaba on August 10 at the Convention Center.
Rios (9-19, six KO's) started his career as a lightweight in 1999 and has fought some familiar names as he has moved up in weight including Nate Campbell, Mike Anchondo, Terrence Crawford, Rod Salka, Dorin Spivey and the Beltway's own James Stevenson. The last bout for Rios was at super middleweight and he lost an eight-round unanimous decision to Willie Fortune on October 17 in Detroit, MI.
One of the big changes on the card is the addition of Capitol Heights, MD super middleweight Henry "Sugarpoo" Buchanan who will face veteran William Gill of Toms River, NJ in a six-round contest. Buchanan (20-3, 13 KO's) returns to the ring for the first time since losing a 10-round unanimous decision to Shawn Hawk on March 31, 2012 in New Town, ND.
Gill (9-30, seven KO's) has fought a who's who of prospects and contenders in the super middleweight and light heavyweight divisions including David Telesco, Anthony Hanshaw, Jaidon Codrington and Max Alexander. Gill has also lost three bouts to Beltway Boxer Mike Paschall, one to Carlos Jones, and, if you like comparing won-loss records, Gill also lost a six-round unanimous decision to Alexander Johnson in April of 2010 at the Convention Center.
Also added to the card is undefeated Baltimore, MD featherweight Gervonta "Rambo" Davis who will battle James Franks of Newport News, VA in a six-round battle. Davis (5-0, five KO's) is coming off a fourth-round TKO win over Eric Jamar Goodall on October 17 in Bethlehem, PA. Franks (2-8-1, two KO's) has not fought since losing a four-round decision to Frank Santos De Alba in August of 2011 in Virginia Beach, VA. Davis will be the fifth Beltway Boxer Franks has faced after losing to Tyrell Samuel, Ron Boyd and Thomas Snow and winning over Andre Nichols.
Laurel, MD super middleweight Demond "D Best At It" Nicholson also returns to action in a four-round contest against Stanley Harvey of Norfolk, VA. Nicholson (4-0, four KO's) will look to extend his three-bout, first-round knockout streak which included a 57-second knockout of Ayei Lama on November 23 at the Patapsco Arena in Baltimore. Harvey (1-6, one KO) is facing an undefeated boxer for the fourth straight time. This includes losses to locals Dillon Hayman and Antoine Douglas.
In other bouts signed for the card, Laurel, MD heavyweight "The Big Ticket" Dwayne McRae will face Franklin "A Cup" Edmondson of Durham, NC in a six-round contest. McRae (11-3, six KO's) won a four-round unanimous decision over Willie Chisolm on September 28 at the Patapsco Arena in his last outing.
Edmondson (14-39-1, five KO's) has had a career that spans a 20-year period and includes bouts against a who's who in the light heavyweight, cruiserweight and heavyweight divisions including former world champions Jean-Marc Mormeck and Imanu Mayfield along with former heavyweight contenders Owen Beck and Courage Tshabalala. Edmondson has also fought locals Floyd Seymour, Courtney Butler and two bouts against former Maryland State Light Heavyweight champion Fabian Garcia.
In another six-round contest, DC light heavyweight "Mr. Amazing" Greg Newby will take on Philadelphia, PA's Greg "Hot-Shot" Hackett. Newby (9-0, five KO's) scored a second-round TKO over James Jones on August 10 at the Convention Center. Hackett (2-13) will face a Beltway Boxer for the fourth time in his last five outings having lost previously to Johnson, Jarrett Hurd and Alantez Fox.
In an all-Beltway four-round bout, DC featherweight Shadeed Floyd will battle Baltimore's Darrell "Bad Azz" Martin. Both men fought on the last card at the Convention Center on October 26. Floyd (1-1-1, one KO) fought to a four-round draw against Nuwan Jayakody while Martin (4-16, one KO) dropped a four-round split decision to DC's Joshua "Marvelous Moe" Parker.
Parker (4-0, two KO's) is still looking for an opponent for this card as are undefeated White Plains, MD lightweight Terron "Kid" Grant (7-0, four KO's) and DC junior welterweight Cornelius "Bodysnatcher" Whitlock (2-0-2 one KO, one NC). The boxers no longer on the card are locals Kevin Rivers, Jr. and James Stevenson along with Philadelphia, PA boxer Tyrone Brunson.

it's quite obvious that Brian Dillon did not match this card.If he did, we would have seen some decent fights. These bouts are as lopsided as they can get. The venue will be empty!
LOL
Well that wasn't me who posted, so sorry on that one. Dishonest not my style. Fired from keystone yup I was. Still working though.
why was he fired from Keystone? It aint cool to run it in someones face after gettin fired, like the guy or not, just sayin.
Whatever the reason Brian is the best match maker to hit the DMV in recent years...he made fights others couldn't make in there dreams. I hope Ross all the best as he did an great Job thus far.
Why do people gets fired from their job? Coming in late to work, absents, turning in the work late ...it can be anything. But most of the time because they get caught lying to their bosses or stealing money.
I think this card features good bunches of local fighters. Up and coming young fighters like Gervonte Davis, Greg Newby and Demond Nicholson or experienced fighters like Alexander Johnson and Henry Poo Buchanan. It will be a good boxing night. I am coming out for sure.
That is a blatant lie about Matchett. Del had a medical condition that forced him to stop. I believe it was an irregular heartbeat. He was never punch drunk.
Nice Card I will definitely be in the building
Del Matchett is not punch drunk. He has always talked the same way. What does religion have to do with anything? that is just plain hateful.
Yes I was fired. As I was told it was because Ross and I were butting heads on the upcoming card. We had a different vision. That was the reason i was given. It's was their decision and it is final. I certainly hope Ross and Gene continue to do great work in DMV and continue to highlight local fighters.
Now from others I have I heard I spent too much money on the fights, I didn't get along with certain people, now someone made a reference to lying and stealing money and my temper.
Now as far as my temper I have never had an easy time with not getting my way. I make no excuses for that. Lying and stealing is a flat out fabrication.
I got nothing to lie about. Boxing contracts are public record. Check them out. Then ask fighters if they got shorted. How do I steal from a promoter?
That's true brain I herd the same thing I was so pose to fight a guy for 25k and they told me that they offed 35k so he was going to steal 10stacks from me not a good look brain because if that would had happen you would have got your head hit for sure,,, and only one person knows who this is... You told me good work, after I got done training satrday!!!!!
Everybody come out to see this fight, now this is a very good card I like every fighter on the card and I can't wait to see theses fight they have some style on the card now, it take a real man like Ty Johnson to put on a great card like this , great job brother man great job,and a special S/O to mr juice, for all his help for years that man has got the job done and did his job, boxing is back for the city, fuck yea it's on now
Now if i offered a fight for 25k and it was paying 35k, there is no way I could get that left over money. Now I do get a 10% booking fee from promoters for securing the fight.
And fighters too u crook
You got paid from promoter and got paid from boxers too u crook
I Don't take money from fighters, name one. Never been paid a dime from fighters fact.
Lets all go to Covention Center and support our hometown boxers on Dec. 14.
Thank you Ty Johnson for having all these local talents together on one card. Great job. Also good job on matchmaking Juice.

Hey Garry is sugarpoo Buchanan fighting, I mean I know you said that he is fighting but I got a ticket at this hotel in DC thinking he was going to fight and he never did, some hot mess lady was putting on the show that he was fighting but she never gave us our money back!!!

I'm just saying let me know if poo fighting, I like his style he always give the people a show , and that's what boxing been missing in the DMV, let's go madness shop get sugarpoo on the card!!! My family loves that niggro

I'm not a hater but can we stop talking about just one man sugarpoo is a good fighter and I want to see him but there some other fighters on the card also,I'm just saying this blog is not just about one person
Man or woman wtf you talking about this site is open to the public if they want to talk bout poo who in the Sam hell are you to tell them, who is your fav fighter on the card??? Then you talk about them but I haven't see poo fight in a long time and I can't fucking wait till the 14 so step the fuck off or write about who you want to see
al Johnson is a good fighter
He's ok but a sugarpoo he will never be, there's only one fighter I seen from this area fight like poo and that's
1. Yes, Buchanan is on the card but it will be a six-rounder not an eight-round bout as I previously posted.
2. Yes, I will be there.
3. This is a nice showcase card and should get us positioned well for 2014.
Let me add that a good number of boxers on this card have been on cards promoted by other promotional groups including Keystone.
They haven't just all been on the same card at one time.
Again, a lot of this has to do with how much the promoter has to spend. To its credit, Madness Boxing has done a great job for many years in putting on event-style shows where a number of quality locals are on the card at the same time. Keystone has done a great job in showcase the Beltway's future.
Gary, its certainly a very busy time for local fighters. Whether you are known fighter or a prospect, there is plenty of shows going on to suit people desires for their viewing.
With Madness, Hardwork, All In, Han Kim, Keystone, Top Flight, Jeter Promotions and the TV show upcoming there are plenty of opportunities for all fighters to get on. Its definitely a fruitful times for the fans and fighters alike.
Al is definitely know Suga Poo! He's better than Sugar Poo ! I can't wait til they fight each other, my money on Al!
Gary. Do you have a contact for Madness Boxing? I have a friend who writes and may want to cover it.
Email me at beltwayboxing@hotmail.com and I will give you a contact number.
AL shut up, you are a good fighter but you not better than me so stop playn like I told lil Garry satrday at the gym I don't hate you but it's like you keep calling me out like I won't fight you, me and my mother got into a fight 3years ago and I tried to break her down so there's nobody I won't fight, I don't hate you but you wanted to fight me now your going to get just what you want but your not ready SIR real talk but keep on fighting and you will get there one day not trying to be rude but I'm tired of all the sideways talk, I gave my word to Hun Kim that if Ty Johnson makes the fight I'm going to fight you so I can prove to you that from day one I put on the gloves I'm the best supermiddleweight that came from this town!!! And this is me sugarpoo aka world fame, nobody acting like me I'm on here now and if you don't believe me call lil G and ask him I said the same thing at the gym!!!

Not going bust a grape bitch fuck off my line, now lame dat trick!!!!!
The diagnosis of Johnson's stomach after that fight was a sever case of no heart-itus. He also paints his toe nails for good luck.
If Poo is so good why is he not headlining this card or any card for that matter?
Although he looks very good in the gym. Poo needs couple fights to shake off the rust since he is been out for year and half He will headline soon,I am already talking with couple promoters about having him on ESPN. Please come out and see him at the Convention Center.

Is Henry Buchanan and sugarpoo the same person Mr Garry?
I know Henry Buchanan I was his 6grade teacher, and my husband blog on this site and I was reading one day and seen his name and said I had a student name Henry Buchanan but it couldn't be him he was a nice lil guy in class but I googled him and yes it was him, just want to say win lose or draw I'm so proud of this young man wow I feel like I know a star!!!! Let's go Mr Buchanan do this for me and your whole class we are all pulling for you.... Ms chase
Yes. One and the same.
To the person that let a comment up a few ago, your right sugarpoo should be head lining this card the whole site or blog is about him, I must I mean I have no other choice but to believe that he is a very good fighter and I'm getting tickets 6 kids in my program at risk kids I want them to see how this young man changed his life for the better and that with hard work and determination any thing can be done, let's go sugarpoo we are all pulling for you lil brother coach bates
One more week to go can't wait to see my manzz Henry Buchanan fight let get this Blood!! Jason blocker
What you doing on here Jason this is mike miller we went to Madison together , I'm going to the fight to I know sugarpoo he use to look out for me back in the day he gave me a pair of boxing shoes I had holes in the ones I was wearing and he took his shoes off and gave them to me, my dad died my first year in largo, and my mother was strapped for cash and could get me everything I needed but I wanted to box so bad I just came with what I had, and poo saw my shoes and said here take these, there going to make you fight better, if you just can believe, and I did just what he said and now I'm 12-0-5kos I haven't turned pro yet but I will next year, we'll it was nice to here from you my bother, hope I see you there I'm going to walk with him to the ring,would tell you to tex me but not trying to put my number out there
Amen that's just the kind of person poo is I work out down Palmer park and I seen that guy phi benson he had on so boxing shoes that had SP on them and I asked a guy what do the mean and they said he got them shoes from this boxer named sugarpoo I didn't know him then but I know him now, he seems like a ok guy
As I look at Bernard Hopkins and think about how in the beginning of his boxing start he was unpopular and in time he has become a hall of famer I think that for some reason sugarpoo Buchanan will be one of the same to do great things in boxing, I've been asking around town about Buchanan and I here his working hard in the gym, and feeling good about himself I wish him the best and I will be praying for the young man that he get all his heart desire, hope I spelled that right lol not funny but my spelling isn't that great.......... Mark butler
What kind of name is sugarpoo with a name like that he better know how to fight, I do know one thing I saw a fight with him and Shawn hawk and I think he got cheated he won to me, but I'm not a score keeper or what ever you call it !!!!!
