(JUNE 17) On July 10, 2010, at
the Patriot Center, Jimmy Lange (31-4-2, 22 KOs) of Great Falls, VA
looks to get back on the winning track when he goes head-to-head
against ring veteran Jimmy LeBlanc (12-16-4, 4 KOs) of Weymouth, MA
in the Main Event. The show will take place at the George Mason
University campus facility which will be Lange’s tenth straight bout
on his home turf. The 10-round headliner is part of “No Excuses,” an
Ice Promotions event presented by Valcourt Building Services
featuring top professional boxing.
In other action, “The Bolivian
Queen” Jennifer Salinas (11-1, 4 KOs) of Manassas, VA is set to
face Montreal, Quebec’s Nathalie Forget (2-1) in a six-round
featherweight contest. The popular Salinas, who serves as an
instructor and trains out of LA Boxing, won her last two fights
in 2009, both staged at the Patriot Center. She looks to
continue working her way up the ranks towards title contention
against Forget, a former top amateur competitor.
Also, Zain “The Tiger” Shah (2-0, 2 KOs) of Chantilly, VA will
take on Washington, DC’s Antonio Walls (2-3, 1 KO) in a
four-round middleweight contest. Shah cut his teeth at Finley's
Gym in DC, but now calls Annandale Boys Club home. He earned 25
wins as an amateur and was the Potomac Valley, MD, VA & DC open
class and novice Golden Glove Champion. Standing in his way will
be Walls, who trains out of Tony Bell’s gym in the District,
looking to end a three-fight losing streak.
The eight-round co-main event features a welterweight showdown
between Baltimore’s Tim “The Pitbull” Coleman (17-1-1, 4 KOs)
and tough Detroit southpaw Damian Fuller (30-7-1, 14 KOs). Other

4 KOs) of Haymarket, VA vs. Dontre King (2-7-1, 1 KOs) of
