About Me
- Gary Digital Williams
- BATB is "The place to go if you want to know about any upcoming show or results, from amateur to the pros, in Virginia, Maryland and the District." -- Thom Loverro, The Washington Times. I've covered the Boxing scene in the Washington, DC/Baltimore area for 36 years. I was inducted into the Washington, DC Boxing Hall of Fame in November, 2009. I am also a feature writer for Fightnews.com. I was the play-by-play announcer on the TV series "Boxing Spotlight" which highlighted pro boxing along the Beltway. I have also appeared on numerous radio stations across the country talking about the sport. You can hear my audio commentaries, interviews and play-by-play calls by downloading the free Boxing Along The Beltway Podcast Network on Spreaker.com, IHeartradio.com, Stitcher.com,Tunein.com, Podcast Addict, Google Podcasts and Spotify! I'm also proud to say that I am in my 26th year serving as the public address announcer for Coppin State University Eagles Men's and Women's Basketball! I also cover boxing and the Washington pro football team for the Washington Informer Newspaper!

Discombobulating-
Thanks for answering that. And keep in mind, besides being naive, I'm also young (just graduated college in May, been a boxing fan for roughly a year). But too loquacious? WTF?
Ahh...The "loquaciously discombobulating one"...(LOL!) Have Thesaurus - will travel! (Gotta love it!)
* Hey, "The word and the penis mightier than the sword!"
...Ehh...*Fruedian slip/Typo?*
Should have read: "The pen is mightier than the sword", on that last bit...(lol)
BTW- It's mildly astonishing to me that Boxing encapsulated you as a young fan, ACW. Why do I say this? Well, in the 70's, 80's, and to some extent the 90's - I used to read about the great sport of boxing on a fairly regular basis in my local sports page. But now? Not unless ODLH is fighting, or Mike Tyson "does something". I believe there are a myriad of reasons for this, but the primary one I.M.O?
"The alphabet soups".
Four or more "world champions" - especially in the hvy division - is a "tough sell".
One World= One World Champion.
*Bizzy on Boxing*
Bizzy, two things:
-regarding that Freudian slip-I guess that gives "make love, not war" a new meaning, huh? LOL
-as for me watching as a young fan, I credit the Lange/Ballard Patriot Center card ~ a year ago for that. I went to GMU and lived on campus, and I like(d) pro wrestling (yes, I know it's fake; we don't need a debate over whether boxing or wrestling is better), and tickets for GMU studends were only $20? I think, so I figured why not give it a shot? I had a blast.
10-4 ACW.
;-)
I always tell people:
Once you go to a live boxing show, you are hooked! There is NOTHING like a live boxing card!
