Your Boxing-Hurricane Update!

Here's what we know at this moment about the status of the cards in Winchester and in DC slated for this weekend.

Baltimore boxer Mischa Christensen said through his Facebook page that his bout scheduled for tonight at the Best Western in Winchester is off. His opponent is from Virginia Beach and he apparently was afraid of getting caught in the track of Hurricane Irene. As far as we know, the rest of the card is still on.

Tomorrow's Diva-Rize-N card at DC Star is also STILL ON. Promoter Renee Aiken has told BATB that the DC Boxing and Wrestling Commission is still planning to have the show.

Gary can I ask a question? If Mayor Gray orders a state of emergency (which he sounds like he will) which means only essential city employees report to work. With the commission being run by City of DC. Can they still show up after being told not to report to work?

Great questio. Show will fail miserably if it goes. Not being negative, just realistic.
