Final Quarter of 2020 Bring Big Bouts For Beltway Boxers!

As we approach the final months of 2020, there are some interesting bouts that will be taking place for Beltway Boxers.

We already talked about the big contests involving Baltimore Boxers Malik Hawkins and Gervonta Davis coming in the next two weeks.  We can now add a contest scheduled to feature undefeated Hyattsville, MD super lightweight Patrick "YG Pat" Harris who will be in a six-round bout in Columbia, SC on Saturday, October 31st.  No word yet on his opponent.  Harris (19-0, nine KO's) last fought on January 25th and won an eight-round unanimous decision over Clay Burns in Brooklyn, NY.

November will bring in two solid contests for locals.  On Saturday, November 21st, Hagerstown, MD super middleweight "The Sexy Albanian" Genc Pllana will be in an eight-round contest against Brandon "Brob" Robinson of Upper Darby, PA at the 2300 Arena in Philadelphia, PA.  Pllana (8-2-1, four KO's) looks to bounce back from his eight-round unanimous decision loss to Maidel Sando on September 23rd in Los Angeles, CA.  Robinson (15-2, 10 KO's) looks to build on his second-round TKO win over veteran Josue Obando on March 7th at the 2300 Arena.  Robinson has a four-bout winning streak.

Then on Friday, November 27th, two Beltway Boxers will be on a card at the Seminole Hard Rock Hotel and Casino in Hollywood, FL.  Unbeaten DC boxer Dusty Hernandez Harrison will be in a 10-round non-title bout against undefeated WBO Middleweight champion Demetrius "Boo Boo" Andrade of Providence, RI. This bout will be fought at the Super Middleweight limit of 168 pounds.

Harrison (34-0-1, 20 KO's) last fought on February 8th when he scored a second-round knockout over Les Sherrington in Vienna, VA. Andrade (29-0, 18 KO's) made the third defense of his WBO title by knocking out Luke Keeler in the ninth round on January 30th in Miami, FL.  This will be Andrade's second contest against a Beltway Boxer.  Andrade defeated Alantez Fox by 12-round unanimous decision in October of 2017 in Verona, NY.  Fox fought most of the bout with a torn rotator cuff in his left shoulder and still managed to knock down Andrade in the seventh round.

Also on the card, Columbia, MD super middleweight Ashton "The Goon" Sykes will be in a contest against undefeated Alexis Espino of Las Vegas, NV. No word on how long this bout is scheduled for.  Sykes (5-3, one KO) is currently riding a three-bout winning streak which includes a four-round unanimous decision win over previously undefeated Isiah Hart on March 7th in Cheswick, PA.  Espino (6-0, four KO's) is coming off a six-round unanimous decision win over Delvecchio Savage on February 29th in Frisco, TX.
