ReplyDeletebynum whitlock good fight. Artis lost to fox two weeks ago?as far as marquis goes - how old are u? Leave the gossip and bs out of this forum man. This is for intelligent of semi-intelligent boxing-related banter.
ReplyDeletethe tournament really is heating up. good luck boxers.
ReplyDeletefox beat artis in the dc gg
ReplyDeleteday day vs fox. got my popcorn for this one.
ReplyDeletepatrick genova v eric govan is the sleeper of the nite. watch my boy eric dominate. he can beat any 165 in this region....RIGHT NOW!!

ReplyDeleteWho is the guy Eris is fight from the young titans?
ReplyDeleteeric govan v patrick genova
ReplyDeleteanyone have any predictions on who will win the mens dc gloves in the open division?
ReplyDelete2 bouts to watch. genova v govan and day day v fox. the dc gg is heating up.
ReplyDeletei wanna see ronald gamble fight this weekend. he fought joey dawejko tough in the regionals. he stood tall but joey had too much experience. good luck ronald.
ReplyDeletetraon and whitlock will be in the building saturday night. and so will i. gotta see that one. govan is in the final 4. how you think he fares vs the rest of his weight class?
ReplyDeletegovan is a slick boxer with a lot skills. he can box or brawl. on the rise.
ReplyDeletei thought jared hurd was the 1 to beat, to be honest. govan is slick but hurd can put a beating on you.
ReplyDeletecome on man, stop spamming about govan and Genova. We get it, you are fighting Saturday. Pretty hard for a beast to come our of nowhere. Most of these open fighters were discussing were either good jos or they made some noise at other open tournaments!!! What have these two done? The USA tournament is for cash money!!! Where were these two? You might read some crap on here but some of actually follow theamateur boxing scene locally, nationally and internahionally. So please enlighten those of us on why u are riding these two so hard?
ReplyDeleteSorry for typos. Phone has autocorrect and small screen.
ReplyDeleteyou are right about the nationals but this is the golden gloves, the beginning where names are made. the govan comments are cool because he has a chance...maybe. but traon and a few more current stars will be on display, no doubt
ReplyDeletebottom line, fox v day day. i like this one. one moves on, one dont. good luck to both boxers.
ReplyDeleteyou eric govan fans should read saturday's comments. it said: eric govan lost to peterkin in the 09 regionals. im not gonna pick a winner but govan faces him in the finals if he wins this saturday. traon, thomas williams, ronald gamble will be there. did i mention fox v day day?
ReplyDeletegolden gloves boxing is alive and well and kicking here in dc. all the comments have been great no disrespecting but comments are open for debate, which was cleverly done. keep the comments coming. Gary D, great job!!
ReplyDeleteI can't name any gg national winners who began to mske their name in the gloves . I know it has happened at some point, but Most were already known on the national scene. That was my point. But time will tell.
ReplyDeleteDana Ruckers made his name in the gloves. locally and on a national level.
ReplyDeleteyou are right, most kids come thru the j.o. program. but in the mens group, you gotta do the gloves to make the gg nationals. im just saying its an honor to do the gg's. kids should want to leave their mark here. beltway boxing #1. we got 24hr boxing news right here.
ReplyDeleteman i like the debates. you guys have good boxing minds. good job keeping it clean. beltway boxing is #1.
ReplyDeleteAppreciate the comments and of course, the support. I know the boxers and everyone involved appreciates your support.
ReplyDeleteLet me warn you, if you think it's busy now, wait until April. We have a schedule that is jam-packed. I will announce the schedule on the Post-Fight Wrap-Up show following the March 19 card at Martin's West.
And of course, will post the schedule over the weekend.
ReplyDeleteman yall keep talking bout ron gamble like the dude he fighting i believe bo wasnt number 1 or 2 a year ago in the nation yall in 4 a big surprise ron wont make it 2 the 3rd round
ReplyDeletewhat u think gary bout bo i havent seen him in like a year fighting good 2 see him back
ReplyDeleteDon't let the word Golden fool you. With the exception of Thomas Williams and Alantez Fox all the other competitors in this tournament lost at home in the USA Tourney. The USA is a qualifier to the US Championships. As of this year, the GG can't qualify you. Govan did make it to the regionals, but lost the first round. Young Titans probably didn't get the flyer to the USA. I know they would have joined. Make no mistake, the USA is the higher ranking tournament. If the Golden Gloves doesn't straighten out it's issues, it won't be an Olympic qualifier in 2012!
ReplyDeleteAs you can see, these matches can't be seen on Youtube!! You got to come through me to see the video! $30 per bout is my price. I'm not up on the apron taping for nothing! I got bills to pay!!!
ReplyDeleteThis is the real Juice. That imposter has it all wrong. My tapes are $35, not $30. Just make sure you have on 3D glasses for all the jiggling that happens because I try to officiate and coach from the top of the ring.
ReplyDeleteCan I get the tapes on Betamax ? I don't like it when people ask me to borrow things.
ReplyDeleteBetamax will cost you $50.
ReplyDeleteNo matter what he charges , most of the proceeds are donated back to the PVA. He has been a good supporter for years. Profits from those tapes bought a lot of plane tickets. Don't bite the hand that feeds the PVA!
ReplyDeletejuice how do we contact you? i need about 4 copies.
ReplyDeletethe best 2 bouts will be whitlock vs. bynum, and fox vs. grayton. Both figths are going to be decided by who wants it more. I also think the thomas williams fight will be a good one, depends on which williams show's up

ReplyDeletesince gary allen russell is injured, any predictions on who will be he top stars in this tournament?
ReplyDeletefor the people who think much of the dc gg, yes legends are made here. ask day day and fox. one of them wont make it out. one of them wont be going to the national gg.
ReplyDeletei pick fox to win. fox is more experienced, and he will advance. he lost in the regional finals. he needs this one. he needs this one badly.
ReplyDeleteFox needs it just as much as DayDay. Fox just turned open and has some time. Some of these older guys should be turning pro after this. Saturday should be a night to remember!
ReplyDeleteThese guys still have to win two or three more bouts to advance to the Nationals. Don't forget about Ty Newton and some other weights that have to meet up. You still have JC's to go.
ReplyDeletewe have been talking about other fighters but traon gets my respect. kid earned it. whitlock will be ready. this one has been a sleeper. not anymore!!!!
ReplyDeletea lot of good fighters are on this card and it is almost star studded. but lets speed ahead a little bit. any predictions for the finals? what are the matchups? who is gonna win? its only gonna get better.
ReplyDeletethis week im going with traon, fox, and thomas williams, who i think should stay in the amateurs. kid is good but he is still learning. ron gamble might not win. joel young wins. govan wins and word is he wants peterkin in a rematch very bad.

ReplyDeleteAww man stop downing this kid Thomas Williams. This kid is clearly ready for the pros he has been to four or five nationals over 40 fights. And he is ranked 3rd or 4th in the USA in the lightheavyweight division. I don't even know this kid personally. But he is ready. Good luck Thomas!!!!!!
ReplyDeletei would never doubt thomas williams. he is a great young man. i just said he should wait. he knows whether he is ready or not. i wish him the best.
