Prize Fight Promotions will put on a five bout card that will be headlined by a terrific Lightweight encounter between Ty Barnett and Tyrese Hendrix, from Fitzgerald's Casino and Hotel. Barnett of Washington, D.C., will risk his impressive ledger of 17-1-1 with twelve knockouts against Hendrix of Gainesville, GA who is looking to rebound from his first professional loss and is now 18-1-1 with seven knockouts.
Barnett was 16-0-1 in his first seventeen bouts as he defeated the likes of former world title challenger John Brown, Pavel Miranda (15-1); Jose Leonardo Cruz (12-3-2); Johnnie Edwards (14-2-1) before being shocked by being stopped by Juan Santiago in one round.
Barnett rebounded in his last bout by scoring a seventh round stoppage over the durable Braderick Antoine on April 16th.
Hendrix has a very similar resume. After a draw in his first bout, he went on to win eighteen in a row which included wins over capable veterans such as Moises Pedroza (25-11-1); former world title challenger Luis Bolano (41-10) and Robbie Cannon (12-3-1) before losing for the first time to then undefeated Hank Lundy on April 16th in a bout that was televised on ESPN 2.
