An unbeaten duo of soon to be ready-for-primetime prospects middleweight Fernando Guerrero (14-0, 12 KOs) and junior middleweight Shawn Porter (9-0, 7 KOs) will be showcased August 29 on the 'Boxing's Future Champions II' live from Fitzgerald's Casino & Hotel in Tunica, Mississippi.
Also fighting on this entertaining card is Philadelphia heavyweight contender 'Gentleman' Chazz Witherspoon (25-1, 17 KOs), an exciting middleweight Dominic Wade (3-0, 3 KOs), 4-time Junior Olympic champion, and 2004-2005 U.S, Super Heavyweight Champion Mike Wilson in his much anticipated pro debut.
The 22-year-old Guerrero, who captured a gold medal at the World Cadet Junior Olympics and 2007 USA National Championships, has also cracked the ratings and is No. 10 in the NABF and No. 14 in the NABO. He faces Chris 'On Target'Archer (11-7, 7 KOs), in the 8-round main event. The 6-round co-feature matches 2007 World Golden Gloves champion, 2008 U.S. OIympic Team alternate Porter (9-0, 7 KOs), against Lamar Harris (6-2, 4 KOs). Witherspoon was the 2004 National Golden Gloves champion and his only loss in 26 pro fights was to world title challenger Chris Arreola, last year by a controversial disqualification. Witherspoon, whose cousin Tim was world heavyweight champion, takes on gatekeeper Stacy 'Big Foot'Frazier (14-5, 13 KOs) in an 8-round bout. |
