Byarm Battles for East Coast Heavyweight Title; Nelson, Seivert Have Rematch in Pikesville December 11!

Undefeated DC heavyweight Maurice "Freight Train" Byarm will battle Theron Johnson of Chicago, IL in an eight-round contest for the East Coast Heavyweight title in the main event on the Baltimore Pro Boxing card on Saturday, December 11 at the Pikesville National Guard Armory in Pikesville, MD.

Byarm (9-0, six KO's) is coming off a four-round unanimous decision win over Kevin Howard on September 10 at Du Burns Arena in Baltimore. A week later (September 17) at the same location, Johnson (4-3, one KO) won his last outing, a first-round knockout over Jed Phipps. This will be the first time either boxer has fought in a scheduled eight-round contest.

The co-feature will be a six-round women's rematch bout between Tori Nelson of Ashburn, VA and Severna Park, MD's Shelley Seivert. The two ladies fought to a four-round draw on May 8 at Du Burns. Nelson (1-0-1) won her first pro bout Saturday night defeating Rachel Clark by four-round unanimous decision in Waldorf, MD. Seivert (4-1-1, one KO) has not fought since the first meeting against Nelson.

Ferndale, MD heavyweight "The American Child" Nick Kisner returns to action on this card. The undefeated 19-year-old will face his most experienced foe to date when he takes on Wilson, NC's Maurice Winslow in a four-round contest. Kisner (6-0, four KO's) has scored knockouts in his last two outings, including a second-round TKO of Kenneth Farr on October 16 in Wilson. Winslow (3-13-1, three KO's) has been stopped in his last three bouts.

Baltimore, MD heavyweight "The Big O" Mark Orendorff also returns to action on this card when he faces the debuting Bagmankh Enkhloyer, who will make his pro debut. Orendorff (1-0) won his pro debut in a four-round split decision against fellow Baltimore boxer Riley Brooks on the May 8 Du Burns card. Brooks (0-1) will also appear on this card in a four-round bout against Baltimore veteran Lonnie Kornegay (0-3). Kornegay lost his last bout by four-round unanimous decision to Keith Barr on August 28 in Morgantown, WVA.

Frederick, MD junior middleweight Mischa Christensen also returns as he faces the debuting Josh Guerara. Christensen (1-1) hasn't fought since his tough fourth-round TKO loss to Dontre King on the May 8 Du Burns card.

There are also bouts scheduled for undefeated Baltimore boxers Devin Butcher (1-0) and Dale "Hit Hard as Hell" Robeson-El (5-0, three KO's).
