Nicklow-Kennedy Headlines "Baltimore Bad Boys" September 17
Baltimore, MD, September 14, 2010 --(PR.com)-- Jake “The Snake” Smith’s Baltimore Pro Boxing Promotions returns to the Du Burns Arena Friday, September 17 for an action packed card loaded with local talent.
Headlining is an ten round middleweight contest between Free State rivals Jesse “The Beast” Nicklow of Baltimore and Windsor Mill’s “Vicious” Julius Kennedy.
Nicklow, 20-2-1 (7 KO’s), is coming off an entertaining ten round decision victory over prospect Scott Sigmon March 20 at the Du Burns Arena. The former amateur standout, who is also 1-0 as a mixed martial artist, previously won the hearts of boxing fans worldwide during his gutsy performance against elite rising star Fernando Guerrero.
Since dropping his pro debut, the crowd pleasing Kennedy won all seven of his bouts, including three by knockout. In March 2009, the fearless Kennedy entered the hometown of well regarded Aaron Pryor Jr., (12-1), and pulled out a gutsy six round majority decision. He has also been long awaiting the opportunity to share the squared circle with Nicklow, calling him out on multiple occasions during the last few years.
Nicklow and Kennedy will meet for the vacant WBF America’s and Maryland State Middleweight Championships.
Headlining the undercard is Catonsville, MD cruiserweight Steve “Show Stealer” Wheeler, 5-0 (4 KO’s). The wildly popular Wheeler is a former Maryland Gloves champion and will appear in six rounder against an opponent to be named.
Highly touted and hard hitting Capitol Heights, MD native Thomas “KO” Snow, 12-1 (8 KO’s) returns to his home state for just the second time since 2007 to battle fellow Marylander Dwayne Martin, 2-1 (1 KO), of Laurel in a six round contest.
In bouts scheduled for six rounds, Baltimore’s Maxell “The General” Taylor makes his long awaited return to the ring against Mechanicsville, VA’s Francois Ambang and Jed Phipps of Baltimore takes on Chicago IL’s Theron Johnson.
Tickets for “Baltimore Bad Boys” start at just $35 and are available by calling 410-675-6900.
In addition to the $35 general admission tickets, floor seats are available for $50 and individual VIP seats are $75. Reserved tables are priced at $500, while second row VIP and first row VIP tables are $750 and $1000 respectively.
The Du Burns Arena is located at 1301 S. Elwood Ave in Baltimore. Doors open at 6:30 and the first bout is slated for 8 pm.
