The Beltway Boxing scene is heating up very quickly as there are three scheduled pro shows in a seven-day period. This post will preview all three cards in chronological order.
The first card is a Jeter Promotions card that will be on Saturday, October 23rd at Live! Casino in Hanover, MD. The main event is a 10-round contest super featherweight contest between Washington, DC's Jordan "Shortdog" White and "Smokin'" Joe Perez of San Diego, CA. White (11-1, nine KO's) comes off perhaps his biggest win to date, scoring a sixth-round TKO over Misael Lopez on March 10th in Uncasville, CT. Perez (15-5-2, 10 KO's) looks to bounce back from a sixth-round split decision loss to Gilbert Venegas on June 19th in Davenport, IA.
The co-feature is an eight-round bout between Laurel, MD super middleweight Demond "D'Best At It" Nicholson and Victor "The Spartan" Darocha of Miami, FL by way of Sao Paolo, Brazil. Nicholson (23-4-1, 20 KO's) comes off an eight-round unanimous decision loss to Edgar Berlanga on April 24th in Kissimmee, FL. Nicholson was the first boxer to take Berlanga the distance. Darocha (9-5-1, six KO's) has not fought since September of 2019 when he won a four-round unanimous decision over Mark Anderson in Miami.
In a six-round bout, undefeated Gwynn Oak, MD featherweight Brandon "The Hitter" Chambers will battle Blake Quintana of Nebraska, who is also undefeated. This will be the first six-rounder for both men and will be for the vacant American Boxing Federation Atlantic Featherweight title. Chambers (5-0-1, three KO's) stopped Don Stewart in his last contest on August 7th in Philadelphia, PA.
