Changes to District Heights Card!

Unfortunately, the word "complete" never means the same in the boxing world as it does in other venues. There are wholesale changes to the Saturday, May 3 card at the District Heights Municipal Center in District Heights, MD.

The biggest change comes in the main event. The featherweight bout between Thomas "KO" Snow of Capitol Heights, MD and Eric Hunter of Philadelphia has been called off. Snow reportedly took ill earlier this week, fainting after a training session. Doctors wanted him to see a neurologist, who has told him he cannot fight.

The main event will now feature veteran DC super middleweight Demetrius Davis in an eight-round contest against Brian "The Assassin" Norman of Decatur, GA. Davis (17-14-4, seven KO's) will be trying to break a four-bout losing streak. Three of those losses have come during Davis's comeback after an eight-year absence. Davis last fought on October 5 in Philadelphia, losing a six-round split decision to Omar Pittman.

Norman (16-6, four KO's) is coming off a six-round unanimous decision victory over Timothy Hall on April 4 in Douglasville, GA. Prior to that victory, Norman lost a 10-round unanimous decision to Jean Pascal in December of 2007 for the NABA, NABF and NABO Super Middleweight title in Montreal, CA. Davis will be the third Beltway Boxer Norman has faced. Norman lost by third-round TKO to Henry Buchanan in September of 2004 at Michael's Eighth Avenue in Glen Burnie, MD and lost by six-round majority decision to Reginald Taylor in October 2005 in Lula, MS.

In other changes on the card, Lenwood Dozier will not be on the show, so Kendrick Walker of DC (0-1-1) will now face James Denson of Akron, OH (2-1, one KO). Denson was originally scheduled to take on Norman "The Shadow" Allen . Allen will now take on Dustin Guillimen of Nebraska (1-4).

Also, Hyattsville, MD junior lightweight Lawrence Martin will now make his pro debut against Akron's Ahmed Poskovic (0-2), who replaces Mel Crossty.

Snow fainted after a training session? I think the guys on this blog may be right about him. This is VERY suspect in my eyes!

The guy got Lucky! Snow aint called KO SNOW for nothing. Snow would have beat this guy with one arm. Snow is undefeated and is without question the top boxer this area has right now. I have seen Snow outclass eventhe amateur local stars. Trust me! Snow will be a world champion in the near future.

Right now KO SNOW is the baddest fighter in the Dc area. He is 10-0
and has fought 10 good boxers and has knocked out 8 of them. Give this guy some credit. Why are all of you so envy of Snow. He has worked hard to get where he is at and he has fought the best they have to offer right now. He was also an great amateur boxer with over 65 fights and as far as I know-he won every bout and had over 50 knock outs. You just wish you were him. Support your local boxers you deranged lunatick.

yes for sure, that Snow is a real coward and real champion of dodgeing opponents. he should go ahead and play some dodge ball with his son, instead of pretending to be a boxer.

No, but seriously... let's wait for some evidence before laying it thick on Snow.

Everyone deserves a fair trial...

The guy has fought absolutely no one. He fought 5 people making their pro debut and not one person he fought had a winning record when they fought. the best was 1-1. Im not saying he wont turn out to be good but you cant tell much when hes fighting guys off the street.
