Dannie Williams got a taste of media exposure a couple of months ago fighting on ESPN’s Friday Night Fights.  Since then Williams has been busy getting ready for his first appearance on HBO Boxing, set for January.  Over the last couple of months, Williams has not only been busy training, but also recently signed a deal with Lou DiBella.  The deal with DiBella will hoist Williams to a higher level, perhaps the highest, in his quest for greater national recognition.

Friday in St. Charles, Missori, Williams scored a second round TKO over John Willoughby with a devastating second round knockout.  With the win, Williams improved to 19-1 with 15 KO’s and is sneaking up the lightweight rankings, now recognized as the ninth best in the weight class by Boxrec.com.

Jack Loew talked briefly about the win Friday.  “Dannie looked really good.  The fight served as a tune-up for the HBO bout scheduled for early next year.  I think the guy he beat, Willoughby, injured his leg while falling to the canvas when he got knocked out.  Dannie is ready for what is next.”

Loew has had a hectic week.  He was with Williams in Missouri Friday, flew home to be in the corner of Juan Salinas and Marco Hall at the Lights Out Promotions card at St. Lucy’s on Saturday, and has the Bob Roth Amateur Show on Wednesday night to prepare for.
