UNDEFEATED MIDDLEWEIGHT JOHN “APOLLOKIDD” THOMPSON STEPS IT UP SATURDAY NIGHT AGAINST JOHN MACKEY Thompson to battle Mackey on Adamek v Chambers under


This Saturday night at the Prudential Center, undefeated Middleweight prospect John “ApolloKidd” Thompson will look to make it 9-0 when he takes on the toughest and most experience foe of his career in John Mackey

Thompson, twenty-three years old of Newark and Mackey will fight a six round bout at the Prudential Center as part of the undercard that will feature Tomasz Adamek and Eddie Chambers on NBC Sports Network.

Mackey of Montgomery, Alabama has a record of 13-6-3 with six knockouts has wins over the likes of Tim Leonard (3-0-1); Tony Cygan (12-1) Alexander Mancea (7-1) & Donald Orr (15-0) and has faced the likes of Anthony Greenidge (12-1); Cecil McCalla (6-0); Derek Ennis (17-2-1); James McGirt Jr. (21-2-1) and Tarvis Simms (26-1-1).

Mackey has draws with Jesse Nicklow (19-1-1) and his last bout on October 7th when he drew with Vladine Biosse (11-1) in Biosse’s home area of Providence.

Thompson is not worried about the experience that Mackey brings to the table.

“He is not much of a boxer, he is a brawler/puncher”, said Thompson

“I am going to work hard to prove that I am the better boxer.”

Thompson is looking forward to facing the veteran as it should be a coming out performance.

“This is a fight that should open doors. He is ranked twenty-two and I am at sixty-three”

It should be a great atmosphere on Saturday as usually tens of thousands pack the Prudential Center for an Adamek fight and Thompson is looking forward to putting on a show in his hometown.

“This is the biggest event I have been on and I consider the Prudential Center the MGM Grand of the East Coast. It is going to be a great experience and I will put on as great of a show as I can”

Thompson is promoted by Gabe Laconte’s First Round Promotions and is managed by Vito Mielnicki.

“My boxer is ready and focused on becoming a world champ in the near future and this is another step towards the top”, said Mielnicki
