Walker vs. Waite Finally Get Their Chance To Settle In The Ring At The “Tinley Park Rumble”
May 28 (Merrillville, In) – The glares that Michael “Midnight Stalker” Walker (19-2-2, 12 KOs) and “Iron” Orphius Waite (5-0, 3 KOs) shoot towards each other while training at One In A Million Inc. training facility would knockout any regular man, but these two talented middleweights aren’t your average men nor fighters. These are two of the top middleweights and there is bitterness amongst one another that has leaked over from their days of sparing, but on Friday, June 12 at the Holiday Inn/Tinley Park Convention Center they will have an opportunity to put all the talking aside in the Main Event on the “Tinley Park Rumble.” “Walker vs. Waite is one of those Main Events that will have boxing fans talking, because you have two guys that know each other so well and aren’t willing to budge even a little bit,” said Octavius James, C.E.O. of One In A Million Inc. “It’s going to be a brutal fight and a definite barn burner.” James said. “I could always tell Orphius (Waite) was sizing me up during our sparring, he wants to be me and he is trying to fight like me, I’m ready and he is ready so let’s get it on,” said Walker. “(Waite) is messing with a different level of fighter and I don’t feel any respect at all, but I will get my respect when I whoop him.” The powerful pair of fighters were originally meant to battle it out on the spectacular “Date With Destiny” card back in April, but Walker took a fight against unbeaten and highly touted Daniel Jacobs (15-0, 14 KOs) on the Manny Pacquiao- Ricky Hatton HBO pay-per-view while Waite battled a very solid veteran of the ring Cedric Johnson (10-3, 8 KOs). “(Walker) had his chance to shine and he didn’t do it and now it’s my turn,” added Waite. “When we walk into the training facilities we both get that weird vibe and when we sparred I left his face battered a few times even with the head gear.” Also scheduled as part of another sensational undercard are undefeated welterweight sensation Ed “2 Fast 2 Furious” Ochoa (8-0, 8 KO’s) vs. rugged veteran Jessie Davis (11-12, 8 KO’s), the electric Angel Hernandez (12-3, 10 KOs) is facing the always tough Guadalupe Diaz (5-4, 1 KO), Chicago’s Bobby Jaskierny (3-1, 2 KOs) faces Mexico’s Jose Guzman (5-2, 4 KO’s), unbeaten Josh Crouch (4-0, 4 KOs) will fight the ring savvy Josh Rodriguez (4-8, 3 KO’s), middleweight Meegel Harper (1-0, 1 KO) and female sensation Evette Collazo (4-0, 2 KOs) returns to the ring with opponents to be named soon.
