Franchon Crews -- Golden Glove Champion!

The victories continue for amateur boxing champion Franchon Crews. The 19-year-old from Baltimore won her championship bout at the Women's National Golden Gloves in Fort Lauderdale, FL with a 5-0 decision over Jessica Francois of Baton Rouge, LA.

Crews is now a national champion, a Pan American Games champion and a Golden Gloves champ. It's a shame there will be no women's boxing at the Olympics.

Also at this year's Golden Gloves event, Tyrieshia Douglas of DC won a 125-pound non-tournament bout 5-0 over Donna Blue of Florida.
