Photo of the Day: Michael Walker at Ringside
By Juan C. Ayllon
Michael 'The Midnight Stalker' Walker at right with his friend, 'Macho' Miguel Hernandez at ringside in Cicero, Illinois.
This past Saturday, Walker made his Chicago and Indiana fans proud in jarring dangerous former title challenger Antwun Echols several times in their exciting main event bout on ESPN2's Friday Night Fights en route to a majority decision draw.
Taking this bout on less than 24 hours, Walker (18-0-1, 12 KO's) took a major step up in competion at the Paragon Casino & Resort in Marksville, Louisiana, where Walker gave a good account of himself against Echols (31-7-3, 27 KO's). As you may remember, Echols gave then IBF Middleweight Champion Bernard Hopkins all he could handle and then some before succumbing to Hopkins in the 10th round by TKO in December 2000.
