Vinson Competes for Regional Title June 23 at Howard University!

DC bantamweight and 2000 Olympic bronze medallist Clarence "Untouchable" Vinson will try for his first pro regional title when he battles Robert "Don't Lose" DaLuz of Jacksonville, FL in a 10-round contest for the vacant WBC USNBC Bantamweight title on the Babie Girl Production card on Saturday, June 23 at Howard University's Burr Gymnasium.

Vinson (15-2, seven KO's) has not fought since winning an eight-round unanimous decision over Jose German Cruz on December 9, 2006 at the Lincoln Theatre. This will be Vinson's second attempt at a regional title. Back on November 18, 2004, Vinson lost a 12-round unanimous decision to Cesar Morales for the WBO Inter-Continental Bantamweight title. Vinson took off more than two years after this bout. This will also be Vinson's second bout with Beltway Boxing legend Darryll "Terrible T" Tyson working his corner.

DaLuz (10-6-2, nine KO's) has seen his career go on an upswing as of late. After losing three in a row, DaLuz has lost just once in his last six bouts. This includes a third-round TKO victory over highly-touted prospect Allen Litzau on April 6 in Litzau's hometown of Minneapolis, MN. In his last outing, however, DaLuz lost an eight-round unanimous decision to Carlos Rivera on May 4 in Tampa, FL. DaLuz was penalized twice during that bout for low blows.

In other bouts on this card, undefeated DC light heavyweight prospect Reginald Taylor will battle his most experienced foe to date in Philadelphia veteran Jameel "Black Gold" Wilson. This will be a six-round contest.

Taylor (6-0, four KO's) is coming off a second-round TKO over John Owens on May 25 at the DC Armory. Wilson (13-10-2, eight KO's) has not fought since June of 2005 and will be trying to break a six-bout losing streak against solid competition including Tarvis Simms, Antwaun Echols and Rodney Toney.

There will also be a six-round rematch between DC junior welterweight Reggie "The Mechanic" Holly and Ripley, TN's Ken Humphreys. Holly won the first bout by four-round unanimous decision on March 3, 2006 at the Lincoln Theatre.

Since that contest, Holly (6-2, two KO's) suffered a loss to Carlos Cisneros via third-round TKO on the December 9 Lincoln Theatre card. Humphreys (4-4, three KO's) lost three of his next five bouts, including his last two by knockout. However, one of the two wins Humphreys earned came as a four-round majority decision over Andrew Farmer on December 9 at the George Mason University Patriot Center.

This card will also mark the debut of DC flyweight Derrick McFadden who will face Gabriel Cruz of Portland, OR (0-1).

Due to the recent legal troubles of the Camacho family, neither Hector Sr. or Jr. are slated to be a part of this card,as originally advertised. However, matchmaker Jack Crider has lined up a special six-round exhibition bout featuring USBA Welterweight champion Jesse "El Rayo" Feliciano of Las Vegas. Feliciano (15-5-3, nine KO's) recently won the USBA title with an eighth-round stoppage over Delvin Rodriguez on March 23 in Mashantucket, CT. Feliciano will have his exhibition against St. Louis, MO undefeated prospect "Irish" Tim Connors (6-0, four KO's).

Rahman Fails to Impress in Victory over Sykes!

If former two-time heavyweight champion Hasim "The Rock" Rahman wants to put himself back in the thick of things in the heavyweight division, he will have to do a lot better than he did in his 10-round unanimous decision over Taurus Sykes in front of a nationally-televised audience in Rochester, NY.

Rahman weighed in at a career-high 261 pounds and it showed through the bulk of the fight as he plodded around the ring with the 238-pound Sykes. Finally, in the ninth round, Rahman dropped Sykes with a right hand and then went on to the victory. The scores were 95-93, 99-90 and 97-91. With the win, Rahman captured the interim NABF title.

"I want to fight again in 30-40 days," said Rahman to Fightnews.com after the fight. "I can't go into a major fight like this. I have to fight again and look much, much sharper."

Coleman, Otts Boxing in Delaware on June 15!

Fightnews.com is reporting that two Beltway Boxers will be in action on a Friday, June 15 card at the Delaware State Fairgrounds in Harrington, DE.

Undefeated Baltimore welterweight Tim Coleman will take on Victorio Abadia of Panama City, Panama in a six-round bout. Coleman (10-0, two KO's) is coming off a six-round unanimous decision over Carlos Cisneros on May 18 at Rosecroft Raceway in Fort Washington, MD. Abadia (22-5-2, eight KO's) has lost two in a row and has not fought since being stopped in the fifth round by Rolando Reyes in July of 2006.

Also on the card is Salisbury, MD light heavyweight Eddie Otts. This will be Otts's first bout since being stopped in the first round by Nick Collins on January 20, 2006 at the Pikesville Armory. Otts (0-2-1) will take on Euphoria, PA's Heath Harris (0-3) who is also looking for his first win.

Rahman Weighs Career-High 261!

Former two-time world heavyweight champion Hasim "The Rock" Rahman weighed in at a career-high 261 pounds in preparation for his nationally-televised bout tomorrow night on the Versus Network.

Baltimore native Rahman (41-6-2, 33 KO's) will take on Taurus "The Bull" Sykes of Brooklyn, NY in a matchup for the vacant NABF Heavyweight title at the Main Street Armory in Rochester, NY. Sykes (25-3-1, seven KO's) weighed in today at 238 pounds.

Rahman has not fought since losing his WBC title to Oleg Maskaev on August 12, 2006 in Las Vegas. This is a massive weight gain from the Maskaev bout when he weighed 235 pounds. Rahman couldn't explain the weight gain, but he told Fightnews.com "I feel good, feel strong, I'm ready to go."

Rahman's new trainer, Marshall Kauffman, told Fightnews that Rahman took about nine months off and has only been in camp for four-and-a-half weeks.

"If he goes out there and takes care of Taurus Sykes, which I know he's capable of doing, then it doesn't matter what he came in at as far as his weight goes. Regardless, forget about that when he goes out there and fights for the title," Kauffman said.

Boxing Returns to DuBurns on Friday, June 22!

Undefeated Baltimore-area boxers "The American Dream" Mike Dietrich and Jessie "The Beast" Nicklow headline the next Baltimore Boxing card on Friday, June 22 at DuBurns Arena.

Dundalk, MD's Dietrich (8-0, three KO's) will take on veteran Gary Campbell of Opa Locka, FL in a heavyweight matchup. Dietrich made a successful return to boxing on the last DuBurns card on May 11 when he won a four-round unanimous decision over "The People's Champion" Jonathan Felton. Campbell (6-8-2, four KO's) last fought on February 3 when he won a four-round unanimous decision over Cecil Smith in Fisherville, VA.

Severn, MD's Nicklow (11-0-1, five KO's) will battle his most experienced opponent to date when he faces Richard "Tiger" Lee Hall of Rocky Mount, NC. Nicklow is coming off his second consecutive third round TKO when he stopped Larry "The Gladiator" Brothers on May 25 at the DC Armory. Prior to that, Nicklow stopped Matt Berkshire in the third on May 11 on the last DuBurns card. Hall (10-18-2, six KO's) fought to a six-round draw with Luis Alberto Santiago on June 8 in Philadelphia. Nicklow will be the sixth Beltway Boxer Hall has faced in his eight-year career, joining the likes of Ishmail "The Arsenal" Arvin, Antonio "Starchild" Reese, Marlon Haynes, Cliff Richard and Ricardo Edmonds . Hall is 2-3 against Beltway competition, scoring victories over Reese and Edmonds.

This card will mark the debut of Salisbury, MD super middleweight Stew Jones who will take on Columbia, MD's Steve Garrett. Garrett has not fought since October 7, 2005 at BXF in Millersville, MD when he lost a six-round unanimous decision to Jarell Mason Jackson. Garrett is 2-4, one KO and is looking to break a three-bout losing streak.

Also looking to break a three-bout losing streak is Baltimore super middleweight Henry "Hurricane" Mayes. Mayes (5-3, four KO's) is coming off a third-round TKO loss to Nick "Flash" Collins on the May 11 DuBurns card. Mayes will take on Baltimore veteran Mike McFail, who is winless in his last 10 bouts. McFail (12-34-2, four KO's) has been stopped in his last two bouts, including a sixth-round TKO to Julius Fogle on February 3 in Greensboro, NC.

Another veteran, popular "Diamond" Matt Hill of Reisterstown, MD, will also be on the card facing Indianapolis, IN's Jerome Elder. Hill (8-30-2, four KO's) is coming off a four-round stoppage loss to Earl "Mighty Mouse" Cole in Cole's pro debut on March 10 in Pikesville, MD. Elder (9-12, nine KO's) has lost nine in a row, including a six-round unanimous decision loss to Chad Greenleaf on December 9, 2006 in Parkersburg, WV.

Locals Have Easy Night at ABC!

It was a good night for Beltway Boxers as they performed in front of a packed house estimated at 600 at the ABC Sports Complex in Springfield, VA.

In the main event, Culpepper, VA-born cruiserweight Bobby Gunn scored a technical knockout at the end of the first round when late sub opponent Elija Dickens hurt his leg after a collision that referee Billy Johnson ruled a knockdown. Dickens, a native of Philadelphia, finished the round but couldn't continue the contest.

Gunn, who now fights out of Hackensack, NJ, raised his record to 19-3, 16 KO's, while Dickens falls to 0-7.

In the co-feature, another Beltway-born boxer -- John "No Mercy" Mackey -- scored a second-round TKO over debuting Kenny Keaton of Indianapolis, IN. Mackey landed solid body shots early in the contest, then came back with head shots in the second round, forcing referee Rick Ellis to stop the contest at 1:05 of the round.

Mackey, who now lives in Montgomery, AL, remains undefeated at 6-0, three KO's.

In other bouts on the card, Falls Church, VA middleweight "Money" Mike Sawyer made short work of Jimmy Lundy of Indianapolis, IN with a first round TKO. Sawyer landed a right hand to the body that made Lundy double over then followed up with a right to the head that made Lundy stumble toward his corner. Referee Johnson saw that Lundy had taken enough punishment and called the bout at 1:36.

Sawyer is now 4-1 with two KO's. Lundy falls to 0-3.

Debuting Beltway Boxer Lawrence Jones of DC made his debut a successful one with a four-round unanimous decision over Philadelphia veteran Leo "The Lion" Edwards. Jones hit Edwards with the first right hand he threw, but had to avoid Edwards rushing in with his head all throughout the contest. Edwards lost a point in the third round for holding as well.

Jones won the bout by scores of 40-35 (twice) and 39-36. Edwards's record falls to 14-19-2, eight KO's and he has lost 11 in a row.

In a rematch, Front Royal, VA lightweight Andrew "The Doo Man" Farmer made the result exactly the same with a first-round TKO over Anthony "The Machine" Whigham of Worcester, MA. Farmer, who beat Whigham in the first round in his pro debut last year in West Virginia, wasted no time in dropping Whigham twice with hard shots. By the end of the round, Farmer had Whigham literally running away from his shots before Johnson stopped the bout at 2:59 of the first.

With the win, Farmer raised his record to 6-1, five KO's while Whigham is 0-6.

Another Front Royal boxer -- Terry "T-Brick" Roy -- also scored a first-round TKO over Boston, MA's Capousse Apounte. Roy blasted Apounte with a solid combination to the body and head that put Apounte to the canvas to stay. Referee Ellis stopped the bout at 2:25 of the first. Roy's record is 4-0-1, three KO's while Apounte is 0-2.

The night began with a lackluster draw between two Philadelphia boxers. George "Bang-Bang" Turner and Charles Mack danced their way through four rounds. All three judges scored the bout a draw, 38-38.
