New Prospects Win.

Some of boxing’s newest and most talked about prospects took some early career wins earlier this week.

Heavyweight Chazz Witherspoon, cousin of former heavyweight champion “Terrible” Tim Witherspoon won his second professional fight by stopping coincidental namesake Yul Witherspoon in two rounds. Known as the “Mensa Mauler,” Witherspoon is the latest of a seemingly new generation of fighters that includes heavyweight Calvin Brock, fighters who are ensuring themselves of a bright future through education if they do not fulfill their promise in boxing.

Also this week, class of 2004 Olympian and bronze medalist Andre Dirrell stopped Carlos Jones in his professional debut. Dirrell won his bronze medal in last years Olympics in the middleweight division and looks to be a very promising young fighter.
