Chapman

Michael Moorer-trained heavyweight puncher JD “The Natural” Chapman continued to roll last night at the Pope County Fairgrounds in Russellville, Arkansas. Fighting in the co-main event, Chapman scored a first-round knockout over 40-fight veteran Ron Johnson. The victory moves Chapman’s record to an impressive 17-0 with 16 KOs. “Michael has JD improving every fight,” said happy manager Scott Hirsch. “For a kid as young and inexperienced as JD to have the knowledge and wisdom of a Michael Moorer in his corner is irreplaceable. We’re going to step him up in his next fight. He is scheduled to face once-beaten New Yorker John Carlo, 14-1 (12 KOs), November 19 in Arkansas.”
