Two pro Beltway Boxers won national television bouts this past weekend.  On Saturday, August 15, DC lightweight Anthony Peterson remained undefeated with a 10-round unanimous decision over Luis Arceo on the "Pinoy Power" Pay-Per-View at the Hard Rock Hotel and Casino in Las Vegas, NV.

In front of an ESPN2 audience at the Desert Diamond Casino in Tucson, AZ on Friday, August 14, Brandywine, MD heavyweight Seth "Mayhem" Mitchell scored a blistering first-round knockout over Andrae Carthron.

Mitchell landed a solid right hand to the head of Carthron, dropping him to the canvas. Carthron could not beat the referee's count and the bout was stopped at 2:36.

Mitchell is now 13-0-1, eight KO's while Carthron is now 3-3-2, one KO.

Former WBO Junior Welterweight champion DeMarcus "Chop Chop" Corley won his second straight bout in Kazakhstan on September 15. Corley scored an eighth-round TKO over James Kimori of Kenya. The bout was Kimori's first outside the continent of Africa.

In amateur action, Sheri Moten of Old School Boxing and Tracey Redd of Sugar Ray Leonard Center were among the big Beltway winners at the second "Road To London" all-female boxing card on September 15 in front of a packed house at Rosecroft Raceway in Fort Washington, MD.

Moten, competing in the 142-pound division, was named the Boxer of the Night for her victory over Raushana Thompson of Fast Lane Boxing Club of Philadelphia, PA. The 136-pound Redd received the award for the Knockout of the Night as she dropped Kendall Rice of In Motion Boxing Club of Midlothian, VA twice with hard right hands en route to a RSC-2 stoppage.
