It's 1-0, 1 KO For "The
Mensa Mauler"
"Mensa Mauler" CHAZZ WITHERSPOON, a senior at St. Joseph's
University, successfully graduated to the big leagues of
professional boxing, blasting out James Daniel at 1:53 of
round one tonight, at the new Washington, D.C. Convention
Center. With his cousin, former world heavyweight champion
Terrible Tim Witherspoon, rooting him on with Chazz's
parents, Chazz scored his first knockdown before the first
minute was over with a strong left lead to Daniel's chin.
Chazz finished the job like an old pro, drilling Daniel with
an overhand right for the 10-count.
The 6'4 Witherspoon, 23, who is on a full academic
scholarship, graduates from St. Joseph's in May 2005 with a
Bachelors in Pharmaceutical Marketing.
"I am glad to get this one out of the way," said a jubilant
Witherspoon, "Now I have to hustle back to St. Joesph's and
get ready for my final exams."
"Chazz is just what the doctor ordered for the heavyweight
division," said Witherspoon's promoter Gary Shaw, who was at
ringside along with Witherspoon's manager, Shelly Finkel.
"Tomorrow I will start working on getting Chazz an
endorsement from a pain reliever...so he can hand them out
to his opponents!"
Witherspoon is expected to return to the ring, Thursday,
January 20, on "Ballroom Boxing," at Michael's Eighth Avenue
in Glen Burnie, MD.
