Tucker-Armenta Headlines
“TNT’s Toys for Tots” December 11!
Westminster, MD – A very
special night it will be Friday December 11 at the Shipley Arena when USBO
Light Heavyweight champion Mark “TNT” Tucker headlines an exciting night of
boxing, where fans can enjoy an action packed card and help out those in need.
Tucker, 12-0 (7 KO’s), makes
his first title defense against hard hitting instate rival George “El Gallo”
Armenta. The Eldersburg, MD based Tucker has victories over title challengers
Rubin Williams and Ross Thompson, pounding out decisions in both fights. Dubbed
by local media as “the franchise” due to his large fan base, Tucker returns to
the Shipley Arena for a fifth consecutive time.
Armenta, 13-4 (11 KO’s), of
Silver Springs, won seven of his last eight fights and enters the ring with an
array of confidence. The hard hitting Armenta holds victories over world title
challenger Irving Garcia, 2000 Olympian Dante Craig and dropped a controversial
majority decision to WBA Junior Middleweight champion Yuri Foreman. Armenta has
promised to end Tucker’s night early.
The Tucker-Armenta USBO Light
Heavyweight title fight will take place over ten rounds.
With Christmas coming only two
weeks after fight night, Toys for Tots representatives will be on hand throughout
the evening to collect donations. All ticket holders are encouraged to bring new unwrapped toys to help make this Christmas enjoyable for the less
fortunate.
“Any time we can provide fans
with excellent entertainment and help out the needy at the same time it’s a win
win situation”, said promoter Mark Tucker Sr. “Last time we fought at the
Shipley we had a record crowd and if we can bring in another large crowd, I
expect there to be enough donations to help out countless underprivileged
families.”
Hot prospect James “Keep em
Sleepin” Stevenson, 12-0 (10 KO’s), of Baltimore, MD tops a talented undercard
and will appear against North Carolina’s John Williams in a six round junior
middleweight contest. An excellent boxer-puncher, Stevenson is rated amongst
the elite prospects in the Beltway Region.
Also slated to appear in
separate bouts are former elite amateurs Emmanuel “Transformer” Taylor, “Slick”
Nick Kisner, and Adam Willett. Local favorites Allan Perkins “Pit Bull” Perkins
and Omar Sims will respectively appear four round middleweight bouts.
Individual ticket prices
range from $15-125. VIP mini tables of four are going for $300 and VIP seating
for ten ranges from $750-1250. All VIP ticket holders will get free Hor’dourves
