Jones, McDonald Make Successful Pro Debuts in Greensboro, NC!

Two locals started their pro careers in quick fashion scoring first-round TKO's on a card on Saturday, September 21 in Greensboro, NC.

Temple Hills, MD light heavyweight Joe Jones III scored his first pro TKO against Vashon Allen (0-3) of Wilson, NC.  Jones is a former DC and regional Golden Gloves champion.  Here is a photo of Jones and his camp:

Even fools sometime learn from mistakes I learned that after fight that it was a TKO,when ref.was counting we knew guy won't getting up everyone celebrated and walked off and didn't see wave off.Second although he is primarily with me in training we having others in sparring who give their input so to me their support is help.With the pro's Danny Aikers suppose to co train with this camp a lot more when he get outta school.Ego never been apart of this team Ima make sure it never will.
