Cops Looking for Heavyweight Can See Him on TV

The Tacoma News Tribune says there's a warrant out for 33 year-old
heavyweight Greg Dial. If any Tacoma cops are fight fans they may
have found him already.
The August 4 Friday Night Fights on ESPN2 included a blubbery
performance by Dial, who was stopped at 2:19 of the second round
by a guy named Williamson during a show at the Hard Rock Casino in
Las Vegas. This was the undercard of Hasim Rahman vs Frankie
Swindell.
Dial turned pro last year and had wracked up a record in the
vicinity of 4-1 in Oregon and Washington.
The Monday, July 31, 2000 edition of the Tacoma newspaper listed
"Gregory Leon Dial," with a flattering mug shot in
the "Persons Wanted" column. According to the News
Tribune, a warrant was issued on Dial as of July 11 "because
he is suspected of violating the conditions of his
probation."
Dial was convicted in November, '98, and sentenced to a year in
jail for "domestic violence assault, violating a no-contact
order and reckless endangerment after striking his
girlfriend..."
The Tribune describes an attack in which the 6'1" heavyweight
slapped, choked, clubbed his girlfriend (while she held her 16
month-old baby) then threw her to the ground and kicked her in the
face and stomach.
Maybe he's reformed. He didn't do anything like that to
Williamson.
