 Reeves To Face Biddle In Main Event April 23 In Baltimore!

The main event is set for the Hardwork Promotions card on Thursday, April 23 at the Tall Cedar's Hall in Baltimore, MD.

Baltimore cruiserweight Travis "Seveer" Reeves will battle Dan "Bada Bing" Biddle of Hockessin, DE in a six-round encounter.

Reeves (8-2-1, three KO's) is riding a five-bout winning streak and is coming off a six-round unanimous decision over Lamont Capers on March 20 at Martin's West in Woodlawn, MD.

Biddle (9-2, five KO's) competes for the first time since July of 2012 when he won a six-round majority decision over Pedro Martinez in Atlantic City, NJ.

Lamont Peterson Comes Up Short In Brooklyn!

The way the fans saw the fight they will say that Peterson won the bout without question. Peterson usually starts his fights off slowly. This night was different. Peterson came out with a lot of defensive movement, but the judges looked at Garcia as the aggressive fighter in the first three rounds as Peterson circled the ring. Even when Peterson was landing on Garcia the judges saw that Peterson was fighting with a defensive strategy with lesser offense. That all changed during the middle rounds. Peterson settled down and planted his feet to land punishing punches that showed on the face of Garcia. Peterson changed the entire momentum of the bout in the last four rounds. The judges felt it wasn't enough to give Peterson the victory. One judge scored the bout a draw with a score of 114 -114, but was overruled by the other two judges who scored it 115 - 113 for Garcia.

This bout was 12 rounds but not a title fight so Peterson remains the IBF Junior Welterweight Champion  with a record of 33-3-1, (17KO's). Garcia is now 30-0, (17KO's).
