This Friday night, Atlantic City's John "The Eastern Beast" Brown(24-17-2, 11 KO's) will make his 44th ring appearance in Memphis, TN. This time, he will be standing across from Lenard "The Firefighter" Lane(11-0, 7) on an ESPN televised card. It is unclear whether the fight will be televised at the moment, but there is a good chance it could air as a swing bout if the Hendrix-Lundy or Thompson-Beck fights end early.
When asked about the fight, Brown, as usual he didn't say much. Brown a ring
veteran will be Lane's toughest test to date, and if he can get past Brown, he
will likely land a significant bout.
However, Brown looks to put a set back blow to Lanes climb up the light
welterweight ladder. In spending some time with Brown, I can tell you he is in great
shape and looks solid in the gym. The question is, will John unleash the Beast
and extinguish Lane's flame friday night or not?
In addition to covering for GSFS, Troy Maxwell is an undefeated pro boxer that also fought mixed martial arts bouts.
