Top amateurs turning pro in 2012 (2010 & 2011 too)

[Jamel]

Jesse Hart just got a promotional deal with Top Rank and will be making his debut on the Pacquiao-Bradley undercard.

[Alexey Uralets]

Robert Brant is turning pro on May 12th.

Edgar Alvarado already turned pro - but lost by KO in the 1st round.

Michael (Mike) Reed might turn pro after the Golden Gloves 2012

[Gary Digital Williams]

Reed is a good possibility but he hasn't committed to that yet. He may wait until early 2013. Another DC fighter, Shadeed Floyd who went to the National Golden Gloves in 2010 in his first year as an open fighter, makes his pro debut on May 12 at the Washington Convention Center.

Another guy who was a great amateur in the early 2000's named Harold Parker will finally make his pro debut on that same card.

[Gary Digital Williams]

On the female side, Tyrieshia Douglas will make her pro debut in July in DC.

Reed is a good possibility but he hasn't committed to that yet. He may wait until early 2013.

My bro Moshea Aleem recently been sparring with Reed, and Mike told him about turning pro after the Gloves. Moshea and his brother Manu (Immanuel) also about to turn pro this year - cant wait 2 see em really.

On the female side, Tyrieshia Douglas will make her pro debut in July in DC.

Hope that her brother Antoine will also turn pro this year - his style so suitable for a pro game.

[Gary Digital Williams]

Looking forward to the Aleem brothers as well! They are great boxers and I really like their father as well!

[T Duquette]

Since its already out there, I wanna congratulate my boy Toka Khan for sighing with Top Rank a couple days ago. I expect to see great things in the future from him.

[Alexey Uralets]

Ooops! Regis Prograis and Samuel Vazquez are already turned pro! Prograis did it recently.

[Gary Digital Williams]

DC/Baltimore area boxers dominated the National Golden Gloves, winning three titles. Gervonta Davis at 123, D'Mitrius Ballard at 165 and Jerry Odom at 178. Odom won the Golden Boy trophy.

[T Duquette]

Whats up with Gary Russell (the 141 pounder)? He's a good fighter though it was kinda odd that he came out to the Olympic Trials and didnt make weight for either fight. I think he might have been having some hand problems. He def has a good pro style.

[Gary Digital Williams]

I'm assuming you mean Gary Allen Russell. I recently talked to his father and they are looking to turn him pro, but they don't know when. They are taking their time with him.

[Gary Digital Williams]

Shadeed Floyd won his pro debut this past Saturday in DC -- taking just 54 seconds to stop his opponent. Also, Harold Parker made his long awaited debut and scored a third round TKO.

Khalid Yafai has signed a pro deal in the UK.

Also just added Jordan Shimmell's debut on the 19th in Holland, Michigan. Didn't know he was going pro, so good luck to Jordan and Dennis!

[Dennis]

Yes Jordan Shimmell is turning pro on May 19, 2012. He is in a scheduled 6 round bout.
Thanks Emile.

[Gary Digital Williams]

Baltimore-area boxers Jeremy Trussell and Brady Sensibaugh will be turning pro on June 16 at Du Burns Arena in Baltimore.

[Gary Digital Williams]

The Aleem Brothers are turning pro on the same card on June 23rd in Arlington, VA.

[Kolya]

Duran Caferro is turning pro sometime this month, I heard.

[Gary Digital Williams]

Just received word that only Immanuel Aleem will be making his pro debut on June 23 at Fort Myer/Henderson Hall in Arlington, V.

[emile]

Siju Shabazz scheduled to pro debut in two weekends in Miami.

[Kolya]

Duran Caferro won his debut last night by first round TKO. Should be fighting again July 3rd.

[Gary Digital Williams]

Immanuel Aleem scored a first-round TKO in his pro debut. Moshea Aleem is now slated to make his debut on August 3 in Washington, DC.

[Dennis]

My son Jordan Shimmell's pro debut was last Saturday, June 30, 2012 and was scheduled for 6 rounds. It was the co-main event on the card. Jordan won the bout by TKO at 0:58 of the 2nd round. Jordan dropped his opponent in the 1st round and then finished him in the 2nd.

The crowd of 1,200+ fans were very loud during Jordan's ring entrance, the announcing of the boxers' names, during the fight and after the fight when the ring announcer, John Parris II, announced the victory for Jordan. Hundreds of loyal supporters were wearing Jordan Shimmell/Team Shimmell t-shirts and really let their presence be known. It was a great show and a great start to his pro career.
