Witherspoon
Fans Disappointed
April 28, 2008 |

(APR 28) All of Moultrie
Witherspoon’s friends and fans were disappointed to learn the
fight with J.D. Chapman scheduled for May 3, 2008 in Paris,
Arkansas was cancelled. We were informed by e-mail that Chapman
injured his arm and it would take about a month to heal. This is
the second time in two months that the fight was cancelled after
having signed contracts. This was a big disappointment but we
also understand that this is the nature of the boxing game.
Moultrie will continue to train and be ready to fight all
comers. We sincerely hope when J.D.’s arm heals, Scott Hirsch
will still honor our agreement and allow J.D. to fight Moultrie.
Legendary
fighter and trainer Mike “Showboat” English
succumbed to a lengthy battle with cancer
yesterday, April 17, 2008. Mike will be dearly
missed by all of his friends and family in the
boxing world and beyond. Our sincere condolences
go out to his family as they grieve the lost of
their love one. Whiterock Boxing will post a
special tribute on this site dedicated to the
memory of Mike in the coming days. Please bear
with us as we are also grieving the loss of our
“Champ’ Mike “Showboat” English. Mike
English’s funeral was held at 12p.m on April
25, 2008 at the
Bible Way Church of Atlas Road.

Temple.

very, very, very hard for this,” Pena said. “My jab
helped me out a lot. (Watkins) was running around and I
was able to track him down.”
