Vienna, VA Card Is Now Set!

The T.A.C. Promotions card is now set for Saturday, December 15th at Tyson's Playground in Vienna, VA.

A number of Beltway Boxers will participate on the card.  Waldorf, MD welterweight Rashad "Code Blue" Kilpatrick will take on veteran Lamont White of Washington, DC in a four-round rematch.  Kilpatrick (3-0, one KO) comes off a four-round majority decision over Carlos Pena on the last T.A.C. Promotions card on September 22nd in Springfield, VA.  White (1-15, one KO) last fought on September 22nd in Bowie, MD and lost a four-round unanimous decision to Tyrek Irby.  White has never been knocked out in a pro contest.  The two fought each other on June 16th in Laurel, MD with Kilpatrick winning a four-round unanimous decision.

The main event on the card will feature Newark, NJ welterweight Michael "Slick" Anderson facing Beltway Boxer Juan De La Cruz Rodriguez of Haymarket, VA in a six-round encounter.  Anderson (16-2-1, 12 KO's) is currently riding a four-bout winning streak but hasn't fought since June of 2015 when he scored a first-round TKO over Johnny Frazier in Weirton, WVA.  Rodriguez (8-12-1, six KO's) will look to break a five-bout losing streak which includes a six-round unanimous decision loss to Shynggyskhan Tazhibay on October 27th in Fort Washington, MD.

In another six-round bout, cruiserweight "The Bosnian Prince" Arman Mrkanovic of Queens, NY will battle Antwaun Taylor of Cincinnati, OH.  Mrkanovic, a native of Bosnia and Herzegovina (8-3, three KO's) last fought on May 18th and won a six-round unanimous decision over Nicholas Lavin in Queens.  Taylor (4-7, one KO) comes off a four-round majority decision loss to David Murray on December 1st in Hockessin, DE  Taylor is the son of former WBA Heavyweight champion Tony Tubbs.
