The_budweiser Posted April 21, 2011 Share Posted April 21, 2011 New York, NY (April 21, 2011) - US Army Captain and multi-time amateur champion Boyd “Rainmaker” Melson will return to the ring against an opponent to be named in a four round junior middleweight bout Thursday, May 19 at the Roseland Ballroom in his hometown of New York, NY. Following an amateur career where he defeated the likes of Deandre Latimore and Keith Thurman, Melson’s won his first two professional bouts. However, the 29 year old West Point graduate’s story expands far beyond what he can do inside the squared circle. For his third time in as many fights, Melson will donate his entire purse to “Justadollarplease,” a Non-Profit set up to raise the much needed funds for the first spinal cord injury trial in the United States using umbilical cord stem cells.
