After a six-year absence, Waldorf, MD light heavyweight "King" James McCallister wins a six-round unanimous decision over James Denson of Akron, OH.  McCallister scored a knockdown in the fourth round but Denson got his shots in as well and had McCallister in some difficulty at times during the bout.  Kudos to referee Michelle Myers for allowing both men to work their way out of trouble.  McCallister is now 12-6-1, three KO's while Denson falls to 5-11, three KO's.
