\"\"<\/a>Press Release BATB<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n

Women’s boxing will headline the Ponytail Promotions card on Saturday, September 27 at the ABC Sports Complex in Springfield, VA.<\/p>\n

Undefeated WIBA Welterweight champion Tori “Sho Nuff” Nelson of Ashburn, VA will make the fourth defense of her title when she faces Arlene Blencowe of Taree, New South Wales, Australia.<\/p>\n

Nelson (10-0-2, one KO) successfully defended her title with a 10-round unanimous decision over Nicole Woods in her last outing on June 28 in Baltimore, MD. Blencowe (2-2) has won two world titles despite having just four pro bouts. Blencoe won the WIBA Junior Welterweight and the WBF Welterweight title by winning a 10-round unanimous decision over Daniella Smith in June of 2013 in New Zealand. However, in her first bout of 2014, Blencowe lost an eight-round unanimous decision to Sabrina Ostowari on February 14 in Queensland, Australia.<\/p>\n

The co-feature will pit Baltimore, MD flyweight Tyrieshia “Lady Tiga” Douglas against Whitney Gunter of Pelham, NC in a six-round contest. Douglas (5-0, one KO) is coming off a six-round unanimous decision over Christina Fuentes on the June 28 Baltimore card. Gunter (0-1) steps into the ring for the first time since losing her pro debut in April of 2007 via fourth-round unanimous decision to Terri Moss.<\/p>\n

Also on the card, Baltimore cruiserweight Travis “Seveer” Reeves will battle veteran Ariel “Iron” Espinal of Brooklyn, NY in a four-round bout. Reeves (6-2-1, two KO’s) was impressive in winning a six-round unanimous decision over Brian Donahue on August 23 in Baltimore. Espinal (8-24-3, four KO’s) makes his 14th trip to the Beltway region in his career. Espinal lost a four-round unanimous decision to Jed Phipps in his last bout on May 17 in Annandale, VA.<\/p>\n

Ashburn, VA junior welterweight Seth Billups will battle Tevin Reynolds of Danville, VA in another four-rounder. Billups (3-0, two KO’s) won a four-round majority decision over Benjamin Olinga on June 28 in Baltimore. Reynolds (0-1) was stopped in the third round in his pro debut on November 1 in Ruffin, NC.<\/p>\n

Springfield, VA welterweight Edgar “El Tigre” Torres faces Anthony Walls of Cleveland, OH in a four-round contest. Torres (4-0-1, three KO’s) has not fought since scoring a second-round TKO over Greg Thomas on October 5 at the ABC Complex. Walls (0-8) will look to get his first win.<\/p>\n

Silver Spring, MD featherweight Alexandru Marin will battle veteran Rasool Shakoor of Jackson, MI in another four-rounder. The Romanian-born Marin (4-0, three KO’s) is coming off a first-round stoppage of Darrell Martin on May 17 in Annandale, VA. Shakoor (3-12-1, one KO) makes his second straight trip to the Beltway region after being stopped by Kevin Rivers, Jr. in June of 2013 in Washington, DC.<\/p>\n

Frederick, MD light heavyweight Larry “Hitman” Pryor takes on Santos Martinez of Adrian, MI in a four-rounder. Pryor (7-9, four KO’s) looks to bounce back from his six-round unanimous decision loss to Sullivan Barrera on April 4 in Philadelphia, PA. Martinez (2-6-1, two KO’s) returns to the area after being knocked out by Travis Reeves in the first round on April 12 in Baltimore.<\/p>\n
