ReplyDeleteIn 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.
ReplyDeleteCharles Jason Dobbins aka.. Country is a hell of a fighter and needs to be recognized.
