Gay Marriage Vote Puts Heat On Christie
Maryland heavyweight, Seth Mitchell, who is with Oscar De La Hoya's Golden Boy Promotions, will fight Zack Page of Warren, Ohio, in Saturday night's main event at The Rosecroft Raceway in Fort Washington, MD.
A 6-foot-2, 27-year-old, Mitchell (14-0) is after his 10th career knockout and his third straight against Page, a 36-year-old with a record of 19-26-2, with only seven stoppages.
"This is [Mitchell's] first, eight-round fight and it's in his hometown, but he's facing a guy who has spoiled many a career," said Baltimore-based promoter, Jake Smith. "So, really, I think this is a true test for Mitchell."
Added to the card is rising Baltimore welterweight (147 pounds), Emmanuel Taylor, an 18-year-old who will be after his fifth knockout in as many victories without a loss against 26-year-old James Hope (4-3, four KOs) off Rock Hall, S.C., in a scheduled four-rounder.
"Taylor looks to be one of the best fighters on the card," said Smith.
The four-round, co-main event features 27-year-old heavyweight Maurice "Freight Train" Byarm (4-0) of Washington, D.C., going after his fourth knockout against Mike Miller (6-13-2, three) of Akron, Ohio.
"This is also a very tough test for Byram, who is an up-and-coming heavyweight," said Smith. "He's fighting another veteran of the ring who can pull an upset."
Miller, however, is ending a 13-month layoff, having been out of the ring since last November's fourth-round, disqualification victory over Kareem Wilson.
Another four-rounder matches Abodurin "Bo" Akinyanju (2-0, two) of Washington, D.C., against Wayne Hampton (5-5, three) of Capitol Heights.
Also, heavyweight Dwayne McRae (5-1, three) of Lauerel meets Bernell Stewart, who is making his professional debut.
