After a couple of busy months in the Beltway area, the October schedule is a little on the light side with a couple of boxers in action and a local card that was rescheduled. Here's what we have so far:
Saturday, October 6th -- Davis Arena, Louisville, KY -- Haymarket, VA welterweight Juan De La Cruz Rodriguez will be in a six-round bout against undefeated Janelson Bocachica of Detroit, MI. Rodriguez (8-10-1, six KO's) will be trying to break a three-bout losing streak that includes a six-round unanimous decision loss to Anthony Laureano on June 30th in Uncasville, CT. Bocachica (11-0, eight KO's) is just 19 years old and has knocked out his last four opponents. Bocachica comes off a second-round knockout of Noel Esqueda on July 28th at the Davis Arena.
Friday, October 12th -- Ocean City Convention Center, Ocean City, MD -- An amateur card promoted by Baltimore Boxing called "The Baddest Son-Of-The-Beach Fight Fest." Former world champion Vinny Paz and WBC Welterweight champion Shawn Porter are slated to be in attendance at the card to sign autographs and take pictures.
Saturday, October 20th -- Center Stage@NoDa, Charlotte, NC -- Seat Pleasant, MD lightweight James "Too Slick" Early will be in a six-round contest against Stevie "The Answer" Massey of Charlotte. Early (3-3) looks to bounce back from a four-round unanimous decision loss to Ricky De Los Santos on May 11th in Lincoln, NB. Massey (7-1, seven KO's) is on a three-bout knockout streak that includes a first-round knockout over Gabriel Braxton on June 30th at Center Stage. This card is promoted by legendary female boxer Christy Martin.
Saturday, October 27th -- Rosecroft Raceway, Fort Washington, MD -- The rescheduled Cynation Sports card that was postponed from September 29th. "The Red Comet" Dante Cox is scheduled to battle Mack "Papi" Allison IV in a six-round feature bout.
More bouts and cards (hopefully) to be added.
