Twin Ports fight fans have come to expect great action when it comes
to the live professional boxing they're seeing. What they probably don't expect
is to see a card in which both 'The Jungle Boy' Zach Walters and Andy 'Kaos' Kolle face the toughest competition of their
careers. That's exactly what they'll get on June
7th when Walters and Kolle return to the ring in Superior, Wisconsin.
Walters, fresh off defeating former world champion Carl Daniels to
claim the WBC-ABU light heavyweight championship, will face
world light heavyweight contender Rubin Williams of Detroit,
Michigan. Williams, who boasts a record of 29-4 with 16 knockouts, has been in the ring with some of the best fighters in the
world and will be the toughest opponent yet for Walters, who is now
ranked number 21 in the world by the World Boxing Council. If Walters
can come out of this fight victorious it will undoubtedly be another
sign that he is ready to step onto the world stage.
Andy Kolle, who is coming off his career best victory over in-state
rival Matt 'The Predator' Vanda, will be trying to capitalize on that
momentum when he faces former season one star of 'The Contender'
reality show Jonathan 'Reid Dawg' Reid. Kolle, whose dominant
performance against Vanda earned him a unanimous eight round
decision, will be fighting his first ten
rounder.
Horton's Gym Promotions has also stepped up the undercard
significantly as their up-and-coming fighters will be facing their
toughest tests to date as well. In his Twin Ports debut, Tim Taggert
will be facing Alton Bear of Rapid City, South Dakota. RJ Laase
will be putting his undefeated record on the line as he faced the
tough welterweight Cheyenne Ziegler. Crowd favorite Gary Eyer will
once again surely entertain the fans as he goes up against the very
game Mike Davis of Belcourt, ND.
With the current lineup intact this card promises to be the best that
the Twin Ports fight fans have seen to date.
