BXF Card has Major Changes!

The BXF card that will take place tomorrow has some big changes on it.

Let's start with the main event, because Henry "Sugar Poo" Buchanan is no longer on the card. No word has been given as to why.

Replacing Buchanan will be Indianapolis, IN super middleweight Jose Spearman (24-9-4, 10 KO's). Spearman is coming off a 10-round draw against Joe Spina on November 23 in Providence, RI.

Spearman will face veteran Ron Boddie of Philadelphia (15-31-4, seven KO's) in an eight-round matchup.

In a four-round matchup, DC welterweight Pernell Jackson (1-0, 1 KO)will take on Hamilton Verano of Newark, NJ (0-3). Jackson made his pro debut on October 14, 2005 when he stopped Tony Kinney in Waldorf, MD.

Also added to the card is Baltimore super middleweight Henry "Hurricane" Mayes (4-1, three KO's) who will participate in a four-round bout against John "JT" Terry of Portsmouth, VA (2-2, one KO).

In his last bout, Mayes scored a first-round KO over Marvin Robinson on the October 14 Waldorf show.

This will be Terry's third trip to the BXF Gym, where he is 1-1. Terry's last BXF outing resulted in a decision loss to Rodney Green on December 12.

The co-feature matchup between Baltimore's Tyrell Samuel and Fred Fleming of Cincinnati (four-round lightweight) and the cruiserweight contest between Derek Sierra of Laurel, MD and Richard Moore of Virginia Beach, VA are still on.

No word on him at all. I heard it could have been another legal issue or it could have been an injury. No one really said what happened, though.
