HAMMOND, Ind. (Oct. 11, 2008) – Promising, unbeaten heavyweight Dave “Pee Wee’’ Herman of Bloomington, Ind., improved to 12-0 with a 1:06, first-round TKO over Kerry “Meat Truck’’ Schall (21-11) of Cincinnati, Ohio, in the main event Friday on ShoXC: Elite Challenger Series.

Schall got Herman’s attention with a huge overhand right hand approximately a half-minute in.

But the shot only seemed to invigorate and anger Herman, who retaliated with a vengeance. He connected with a series of knees that dropped Schall and then finished off the veteran, who complained afterward about a low blow, with three punches while he was down and defenseless.

“I may have got hit, but I didn’t feel it,’’ said Herman, who improved to 3-0 for EliteXC and 2-0 on SHOWTIME. “I don’t care who I fight next but I hope it is as soon as possible. Actually, I would like to fight on the EliteXC Nov. 8 card on SHOWTIME.’’

Showtime broadcasts the latest ShoXC card tonight. Emanating from the Horseshoe Casino outside Chicago, the telecast begins at 11 PM ET (and tape-delayed on the West Coast.)

LOS ANGELES (Oct. 7, 2008) – Nicknames such as “Pee Wee” and “Meat Truck” may not exactly strike fear into an opponent, but, make no mistake, undefeated Dave “Pee Wee” Herman (11-0), of Bloomington, Ind., and Kerry “Meat Truck” Schall (21-10), of Cincinnati, Ohio, can fight.

The heavyweights -- Herman, a talented, up-and-comer and hometown favorite, and the more-experienced Schall -- will collide in the main event on ShoXC: Elite Challenger Series this Friday, Oct. 10, live on SHOWTIME (11 p.m. ET/PT, delayed on the west coast) at The Venue inside Harrah’s Horseshoe Casino at Hammond, Ind.

Here are results from last night's ShoXC event (which I lost track of because of the presidential debate and the Bill Maher show afterwards) courtesy of MMAWeekly.com:

• Wilson Reis def. Abel Cullum by unanimous decision (49-46, 48-47, 49-46)
• Shane Del Rosario def. Carl Seumanutafa by TKO
• David Douglas def. Malaipet by TKO
• Jaime Jara def. Giva Santana by split decision
• Erik Apple def. Matt Makowski by submission (rear naked choke)
• Scott Lighty def. Jamiah Williamson by TKO
• Damian Douglas def. Joe Schilling by submission
• Fernando Bettega def. Mono Otero by submission

Showtime makes a habit of re-airing their EliteXC programming, so be on the lookout for re-broadcasts of the event in the future. Along with being interested in the Reis-Cullum title fight, I'm also intrigued by the TKO of the highly vaunted Muay Thai specialist, Malaipet.

History will be made when EliteXC crowns its first 140-pound champion on ShoXC: Elite Challenger Series, Friday, Sept. 26, live on SHOWTIME at 11 p.m. ET/PT (delayed on the west coast). Abel “The Silent Assassin” Cullum (11-1), of Tucumcari, N.M., will face undefeated Brazilian Wilson Reis (5-0) of Philadelphia in the main event for the bantamweight title at Chumash Casino Resort at Santa Ynez, Calif.

ShoXC, a presentation of EliteXC, showcases young, developing fighters in tough matchups. A springboard for the future stars and champions of EliteXC, ShoXC is patterned after the popular SHOWTIME boxing series ShoBox: The New Generation.

In other ShoXC fights on SHOWTIME, Shane Del Rosario (4-0) of Irvine, Calif., faces Carl Seumentafa (4-0) of Oakland, Calif., in a battle of unbeaten heavyweights; Malaipet (3-2) of Rancho Cucamonga, Calif., meets David “Tarzan” Douglas (5-1) of Antioch, Calif., at 150 pounds; Giva “The Arm Collector” Santana (11-0) of Irvine, Calif., takes on Jaime Jara (19-5) of North Highlands, Calif., at middleweight; and Erik “Bad” Apple (9-1) of Orange County, Calif. throws down with Matt Makowski (3-0) of Philadelphia, at welterweight.
