Beltway Boxers Added To May 11th Card In Fairfax, VA!




A number of Beltway Boxers have been added to the TGB Promotions card that will take place on Saturday, May 11th at the Eagle Bank Arena in Fairfax, VA.  This is the card that features 154-pound world champion "Swift" Jarrett Hurd of Accokeek, MD defending his titles against number one contender Julian "J-Rock" Williams of Philadelphia, PA.

Undefeated Bethesda, MD super flyweight Alexandru "Spartan" Marin will be in his first 12-round contest when he takes on former world champion Luis "Nica" Concepcion of Panama City, Panama.  This bout is slated to be an IBO Elimination contest and may have bearing on the IBF as well.  Marin (17-0, 11 KO's) is the defending IBO Intercontinental Super Flyweight champion and is ranked third in the world by the IBF.  In his last outing, Marin won the IBO Intercontinental title with a 10-round split decision over Bruno Escalante on September 8th in Inglewood, CA.

Concepcion (37-7, 26 KO's) is a former WBA Super Flyweight titleholder who is looking to bounce back from a 10-round unanimous decision loss to Andrew Moloney on September 8th in Bendigo, Australia.  Concepcion won the WBA title in August of 2016, defeating Kohei Kono by 12-round unanimous decision in Japan.

Glenarden, MD lightweight Drayvontay Speed-Rawls will be in his first eight-rounder when he battles with veteran Jonathan "Popeye" Perez of Barranquilla, Colombia.  Speed-Rawls (11-1-1, eight KO's) comes off a third-round TKO over Dante Cox on March 8th in Hanover, MD.  Perez (38-23, 30 KO's) broke a five-bout losing streak with a third-round stoppage of Euclides Carcamo on January 18th in Monteria, Colombia.

In an all-Maryland super welterweight contest, Mark "Sayless" Duncan of Clarksburg will take on Baltimore's Kevin "The Scarecrow" Womack, Jr.  The bout is scheduled for six rounds.  Duncan (3-1, three KO's) looks to bounce back from suffering his first pro loss, a six-round split decision to Arturo Izquierdo on March 24th in Oxon Hill, MD.  Womack, Jr. (8-17-4, six KO's) will be trying to break a three-bout losing streak.  In his last outing, Womack, Jr. lost by fourth-round TKO to Zarifbek Nishanbaev on August 18th in Hanover, MD.  Womack, Jr. will be facing a fellow Beltway Boxer for the third straight time -- he also lost a tough four-round majority decision to Kareem Martin in June of 2018 in DC.

Also, Baltimore super welterweight Aaron Anderson will be in a four-round contest against Carlos Galindo of Woburn, MA by way of Lima, Peru.  Anderson (4-0, three KO's) looks to build on a four-round unanimous decision win over Chukka Willis on March 2nd in Brooklyn, NY.  Galindo (1-9) lost by third-round TKO to Joe Farina on March 29th in Melrose, MA.

Other Beltway Boxers scheduled to be on this card include Laurel, MD super middleweight and WBC USNBC and Maryland State champion Demond "D'Best At It" Nicholson (21-3-1, 20 KO's),
Bowie, MD super lightweight Greg "Sharpshooter" Outlaw (7-0, two KO's) and Baltimore middleweight Lorenzo "Truck" Simpson (3-0, two KO's).
