The full lineup has been announced for the Sunday, January 31st Baltimore Pro Boxing card at Rosecroft Raceway in Fort Washington, MD. There are a few changes.
One of those changes will be in the main event. Julius Kennedy is out and it will be undefeated Baltimore middleweight Cecil McCalla that will face Forest Heights, MD's Jayson Champion in the eight-round contest. McCalla (9-0, four KO's) has not fought since June 19 when he stopped Jorge Barajas in the sixth round at Michael's Eighth Avenue in Glen Burnie, MD. Champion (4-4, three KO's) has been off since he lost an eight-round unanimous decision to Jessie Nicklow in June of 2008 at Du Burns Arena in Baltimore.
The two co-feature bouts remain the same. In a heavyweight rematch, undefeated Maurice "Freight Train" Byarm of DC (5-0, three KO's) will take on Maurice Winslow of Wilson, NC (3-10-1, three KO's. Also, in a super middleweight battle also scheduled for six rounds, Scott "Cujo" Sigmon of Bedford, VA (7-1, three KO's) battles Ariel "Iron" Espinal of Brooklyn, NY (6-11-3, two KO's).
There are a couple of changes in the four-round contests. Ferndale, MD cruiser "The American Child" Nick Kisner looks to make his long-awaited pro debut against "The African Warrior" Francois Ambang of Mechanicsville (2-4-1).
Also, Tori Nelson of Virginia will not face Sweden's Mikayla Lauren. Nelson will now make her pro debut against Maryland's Renee Owens, who is also debuting.
The other four-round bouts remain as is. Heavyweight Abodurin "Bo" Akinyanju of Springdale, MD (2-0, two KO's) will battle Montgomery, AL's Kevin Howard (1-2-1). Also, the returning Zain Shah of Centreville, VA (1-0, one KO) will face Frederick, MD's Allen "Pitbull" Perkins (1-2).
There is a possibility that Baltimore welterweight Emmanuel "Transformer" Taylor (4-0, four KO's) will be a late addition to this card.

Please do not fret about it. The trophy will arrive soon. The damn trophy shop is a few years backed up. I promise you will will get 2007 team trophy by 2013. The trophy is beautiful. It has a plastic south paw boxer on it and its painted with silver spray paint. We have a nice re-used gold colored plate with a new 2009 sticker on it. You can hardly tell that it's put on top of the older one.Coconut Juice forever!
