'The Reason' Grant Appears on Sept. 13 King Card in Biloxi, MS!

Riverdale, MD heavyweight Horace "The Reason" Grant will return to action on Saturday, September 13 at the Beau Rivage Resort and Casino in Biloxi, MS. Grant's scheduled eight-round bout will be on the non-televised undercard of a Don King promotion that features a matchup for the Unified Lightweight Championship bout between Nate Campbell and Joan Guzman.

The opponent for Grant (12-2, seven KO's) will be Mark "The Dominator" de Mori of Perth, Western Australia (13-1-2, 11 KO's). Grant will try to bounce back from his eight-round unanimous decision loss to Kevin Burnett on June 20 in Las Vegas in front of a nationally-televised ESPN2 audience. Grant almost pulled out the victory in the final seconds of that bout when he knocked down Burnett in the final round. For de Mori, this will be the first time fighting in the US. De Mori is 7-0-1 with six KO's in his last eight bouts over a three-year period.

Looks like this guys got only one real opponent on his record... an eight rounder over Ed Mahone.

Then again, Grant's faced only a couple of real fighters himself too. But the last one was a real solid learning experience.

Usually, when these untested heavyweight imports come in, they get whacked out pretty quick. They like a feeling out process and you know our guys go right for it.

I think Boxbible's statement was actually a positive one towards Grant. He was saying that de Mori was untested, not Grant!

Can't be impartial, I guess...

Either your with them, or against them...

Sad state of mind...

IMO, I don't think that's really Poo. Sure, Poo is outspoken to say the least. But he's never gotten on the blog before & whoever is writing in is disrespecting Gary's blog. I know that Poo & Gary are pals so I doubt Poo would do that.
