    From another site:

    Purlett-Wilson rematch!
    Cruiserweight Andre Purlett (40-2, 35 KOs) has agreed to face USBA champion Darnell Wilson (22-5, 19 KOs) in a rematch in February. Wilson, who won the USBA belt in June this year when he defeated Emmanuel Nwodo, is scheduled to face Purlett on February 8 at Dover Downs Hotel and Casino in Delaware. When the two last met in June 2006, Purlett narrowly won a six-round unanimous points decision, getting a 57-56 verdict on all three judges' cards. Wilson has chalked up a four-fight winning streak since that defeat, while Purlett has five consecutive victories.


    I'm looking forward to this one!

    Who wins?

    Ding A Ling Man gets a chance at redemption. I think he gets it - by emphatic KO.:smoke :smoke

    Hey Ding, what is the weight on this fight?

    Exciting fight. Purlette hasn't fought in over a year. I'd have to think he is rusty. Ding is on a roll, and I would pick him to win an exciting fight by late ko.

    I'm thinking early KO by Ding, under 5 rounds!

    go ding! Deleware is not too far from here in PA. Me and my girl will be rooting you on from ringside! Make sure to splatter some of his blood all over us. I kinda wish they would have the fight in a casino where they play poker. Those slots-only casinos blow.

    The Ding-A-Ling Man would be the one to make the absolute final call on this but I spoke with promoter Dino Duva yesterday and he said that they are still trying to make the fight with Flores and bill it as an IBF eliminator.

    Purlette has already turned the fight down so they might have to go back to him with a richer pot.

    So basically, unless something has changed in the last 15 hours - there is still no opponent for Wilson.

    Rock 'n' roll! :happy

    While Wilson deserves to be in with bigger names, this is an excellent chance for the big payback.
