Jerry Odom Replaces Ronald Ellis (Injury) versus Julius Jackson
Jerry Odom was six minutes from a big win over Ronald Ellis before letting their Showtime-televised fight slipping away. Ironically, he now gets to take his previous opponent's place in hopes of coming correct in his latest chance of a lasting impression. The aggressively-matched prospect from Maryland steps in for Ellis in a scheduled eight-round supper middleweight matchup versus Julius Jackson. The bout takes place July 22 at Foxwoods Resort Casino in Mashantucket, Conn. on a show commemorating the 15th anniversary of Showtime's ShoBox: The New Generation prospect-based series.
