Ed Brown Racks Up 13-0, 11
KO's
Record Over Last 8 Months
Meet 6'1 welterweight prospect ED "Bad Boy" BROWN, (16-0, 14
KOs), from Chicago. After an impressive amateur career,
where he compiled a 370-20 record, Brown turned professional
in 2012, winning his first three bouts via first-round
knockouts. Following a two-year hiatus, which included being
wounded eight times during three separate shootings, Brown,
under the management of 2007 Boxing Writers Association of
America "Manager of the Year" Cameron Dunkin and
Harvard-educated matchmaker and promoter Chris Middendorf,
embarked on an ambitious eight-month, 13-bout schedule, from
May 16 to December 12. Brown, 24, won them all with only two
going the distance. That's right, 13-0 (11 KOs)!
"I pride myself on accurately judging talent and I think my
track record proves that. So believe me when I say Ed Brown
is the goods," said Dunkin. "The 2015 fast fights have been
about fine tuning his game so that he can be ready for the
bigger fights. It was a grueling schedule between training
and fighting, but he passed the tests with flying colors. He
is on the road to become boxing's next big thing."
"If you have a talented and exciting prospect like Ed Brown,
you can fight him fast. When we sign prospects with these
skills and this sort of amateur experience,
they will also move fast," added Middendorf. "I think that
today's boxing audience craves seeing hot prospects;
watching them, loving them or hating them, but buying
tickets to see them or turning the channel to see them. It
is the same thing almost across the board in today's sports
world -- Mike Trout and Bryce Harper in baseball, Connor
McDavid and Jack Eichel in hockey, Odell Beckham and Le'Veon
Bell in football -- younger, faster, hit harder, amazing
athletes, fan favorites. In boxing, the best young fighters
are 'must see TV.' Fans want to follow their story as they
progress up the ranks as they incrementally challenge
themselves by fighting better opposition. That is what we
are after and that is what we see in Ed Brown."
Brown is scheduled to return to the ring in January.
