Francis Taylor will win at Waldorf.
What time???
Nevermind I called the Waldorf Jacees doors open at 7. Fights start at 8.
Just for sake of argument....is anyone interested in seeing the Washington DC Golden Gloves return to DC?? Some of the old timers remember when it was not in Maryland. Do anyone know why it left??
Curious
Does anyone know who won the fights last night?
I was unable to attend the bouts last night. Hopefully I'll get results sometime this weekend or on Monday.

Thanks for posting the results but im confused on a couple of them. Edwin reyes 141 novice already lost a few weeks ago so how did he fight again. And barry trotter 178 novice wasn't even in the tourny.
yes francis Taylor is going to win becouse he is a winner!!!!!!!!!!!!!! much love big sis
that lil nigga goin winnnnnnnnnnn
In reply to a previous post, Barry Trotter fought in the Regional Golden Gloves Tournament and won at 178lbs. I was there! You should check with the promoter and anyone who attended the fights that night before you display your ignorance on a world stage. A little research will clear up your confusion, friend.
Charles Jason Dobbins aka.. Country is a hell of a fighter and needs to be recognized.
