Babie Girl Productions Brings WBF Title Bout to DC December 20!

The final scheduled card along the Beltway will take place on Saturday, December 20 at Howard University's Burr Gymnasium in DC.

Babie Girl Productions will bring two sanctioned World Boxing Foundation title bouts to the card, including the main event -- a scheduled 12-round matchup for the WBF Middleweight championship. Champion Kreshnick "The Eagle" Qato of Albania will make the first defense of his title against David "The Weezel" Estrada of Chicago, IL.

Qato (17-6, two KO's) now fights out of London, England but won the WBF title in his native Albania on April 4, winning a 12-round unanimous decision against Vitor Sa.

Estrada (12-10, nine KO's) has won his last two bouts by knockout over Robert Kamya and Bruce Rumbolz. Estrada has fought twice before along the Beltway, losing decisions to Tony Cygan and Ishmail Arvin in 2006.

The co-feature bout is an eight-round contest for something called the WBF All-Americas Super Middleweight title. Evansville, IN's Wayne "The Cobra" Cooper (8-1-1, five KO's) will take on William Prieto of Lorain, OH (5-3, two KO's). Cooper's last bout was an eight-round majority draw with Jose Spearman for the All-Americas Middleweight title on February 29 in Evansville. Cooper's only loss was a second-round TKO defeat to Curtis "Chin Checker" Stevens.

Interesting note about Cooper: His given name is Ezzard Charles Cooper. His grandfather named him after his favorite boxer.

Prieto, who made his pro debut at the ABC Sports Arena in Springfield, VA in July 2006 (winning a four-round unanimous decision over Boris Calizaya) has lost his last two bouts to undefeated boxers Issac Rodrigues and Durrell Richardson.

Also slated to be on this card will be Bowie, MD heavyweight Horace "The Reason" Grant (13-2, eight KO's). There are also three mixed martial arts bout scheduled to take place on the card.

About the World Boxing Foundation: The organization was formed in 2004 in Australia and its headquarters remain in Melbourne. The president is Mick Croucher. One of the WBF's regional Americas representatives is Jack Crider, who has served as matchmaker and promoter for many cards throughout the Beltway and in southern Virginia.

Where are the local guys on this card?? This is crazy. We have to support our own. Where is the Obama love??? European matchmakers are looking for European boxers in Baltimore and York, Pa.,etc.Where are the African-American matchmakers?? Where is JD, Burgess, Mr. Peterson, Joe Morgan, etc.??? None of these guys are local fighters. How do you think you are going to draw local fight supporters?? Where are the local African-American promoters?? Josh Hall,(the Lucky Charm Leprechaun), Chris Middendork (the straight arrow slipper walking), Jack Crider, (the Frankie Avalon look-a-like) are looking for the "Great White Hope", who will never come to past in this area. These matchmakers always use old used up fighters.

Jack Crider is not having sex with Casandra!
Obama is a European! Ask him yourself. Baby Girl promotes the best fights around at the moment.
She is the top promoter in DC right now-ask her.

This would be a good place for DC Boxing Commission to step in and elevate boxing in DC. Don't let this be strike 3. You have done the talk, now what's the walk you are going to do to bring integrity and raise the DC Boxing Bar? Don't let these promoters do further damage to themselves and our DC Boxing reputation.

If Jack Crider is "European" I'm Robert E. Lee.
And the D.C. Boxing Commission wouldn't know Muhammad Ali from Kukla, Fran and Ollie. Clueless!

Just a quick thought of fights over the last year, Asim Hanif, Counter Punch, Major Heavy Hitters had fights over the last year. All promoted some if not mostly local fighters. Were you there? Did you support them where they need it the most? Why does this have to be a racial issue?

The race issue will never go away because certain folks will not let it go away. It's a way of life here in the U.S. The U.S. is so far behind in so many issues, you don't know where to start. Getting back on track with the boxing issue, we need more local shows and local boxers on these shows. Everyone's input is important and all this back and forth stuff, just keep's one's mind functioning. SMILE!!!!!!

how is obama 78% white when he has 1 african parent, and 1 caucasian parent, retard?


i'd be interested to learn how you white person came up with that 78% percentile.

and further more.....


with all the white people he grew up around, he STILL has that OG swagger - unlike the corny guy he's replacing, or ran against - and won!

obama must be a great guy. everyone wants to claim him. whites love him, blacks love him. whites voted for him,. spanish voted for him. who cares what race the guy is? he was our best choice for president. yeah i read the ny times where obama claims to be 78% white. i too like to know how he came to that percentage. the only way i can think of is if his dad was not all black, if so, that raises his white percentage well over 50%. we are all human!!! you ignorant bastard who keeps talking about the europeans is part european yourself. and reds you are all right with me but we both know that your dad is white and your mom is black. i know both of your parents and they are very decent hard-working people. you need to grow up and not fall for the retards comments about the local show being full of white fighters. Obama is the best guy for the job! He belongs to us all. He is our leader. Do you ever hear him downing another race? We need to grow up and take notes from the man. I am so tired of people calling an Uncle Tom. He is our only hope right now. The economy is going down fast. I worry that by this time next month, i will have no job. Who ever left the first comment on this Cassandra White show, has started a bunch of bullshit. Reds you need not to fall for his retarded comments again. He or she is misserable and wants to take you down also. Wake up Reds! I will see you at parts Tuesday. Get a goodnight rest...
