On Friday 12th July at the Emerald Queen Casino in Tacoma Washington, undefeated heavyweight Jermaine Franklin 18-0 (13 Ko’s) takes on a decent test in Jerry Forrest of Newport News Va 25-2 (19 Ko’s) over 10 rounds.. Forrest’s two defeats were both 5 years ago against former world title challengers Gerald Washington and Mike Hunter jr.. Since then Jerry has put together an 18 fight winning streak.. Franklin of Saginaw Michigan last boxed the experienced Rydell Booker in an entertaining 10 round points win in April on the Shields v Hammer Card..
In a Co-feature another undefeated heavyweight in Swedish southpaw, Otto Wallin 20-0 (14 Ko’s) takes on former world cruiserweight title challenger, BJ Flores 34-4-1 (21 Ko’s) over 10.. Wallin has an impressive resume on paper, but the only name of note that stood out to me was a 2015 knockout of former amateur standout Alex Mazikin.. Otto too appeared on the April Shields v Hammer Card only to be held to a disappointing NC by Nick Kisner due to a cut sustained by Kisner following an accidental clash of heads in the opening round.. 40 year old Flores has boxed up at heavyweight 3 times since his unsuccessful WBC cruiserweight title challenge in 2016, most recently suffering a knockout loss at the hands of undefeated WBA number 2 ranked Trevor Bryan in August..
