June Schedule Features More Beltway Action!

After two very busy months of boxing cards in the Beltway, June does not give us Beltway Boxing Fans any rest as we have three cards scheduled -- all in the state of Maryland as we go to Waldorf, Fort Washington and Laurel.

We will have full previews of the local cards throughout June but here we will list those cards plus some other action that is scheduled to take place during the month.

Saturday, June 1st, Waldorf Cultural Center, Waldorf, MD -- This is the Cynation Sports Promotions card that was originally scheduled for early May.  Scheduled to appear on this card are Arlington, VA super middleweight Filip Stankovic (4-1, one KO),  Washington, DC super middleweight Gregory "Glizzy" Clark (3-3-1, one KO), DC heavyweight Nathaniel "The Juggernaut" Copeland (1-0, one KO), Salisbury, MD welterweight "Nasty" Nigel Fennell (3-0, three KO's) and debuting Lusby, MD super featherweight Nathaniel Lee Davis.

Saturday, June 8th, Expo Five Arena, Louisville, KY -- Suitland, MD middleweight Lenwood "Mr. Composure" Dozier will be in a six-round bout against undefeated Derrick Coleman, Jr. of Detroit, MI.  Dozier (10-22-3, five KO's) is winless in his last 11 bouts including a four-round unanimous decision loss to Justin Steave on May 4th in Washington, PA.  Coleman (6-0, four KO's) also fought his last contest on May 4th and scored a first-round knockout over Zachariah Kelly in Indianapolis, IN.

Ballard (20-0, 13 KO's) is coming off a fifth-round TKO victory over Victor Fonseca on March 15th in Philadelphia, PA.   Espadas (18-4, 13 KO's) last fought on April 5th and won by second-round TKO over Gabriel Lopez in Merida.

Waldorf, MD super lightweight Mike "Yes, Indeed" Reed will also be on this card in an eight-round contest against an opponent to be determined.  Reed (24-2, 13 KO's) broke a two-bout losing streak with a second-round knockout over Yardley Armenta Cruz on April 25th in Indio, CA.
