152 pounds: David Grayton (Headbangers) won by disqualification over Tyrell Newton (Dream Team) Newton was penalized three times for losing his mouthpiece during the contest.
165 pounds: Travis Peterkin (Charm City) defeated Eric Govan (Jeff Gordan/Laurel)
178 pounds: Thomas Williams (Cherry Lane) defeated Mario Murphy (Sugar Ray Leonard Center)
201 pounds: Alexis Guerrero (Main Street) won by walkover against Nick Kisner (Club One)
201+ pounds: Ronald Gamble (Club One) won by walkover against Clinton Price (Midtown)
RANDOM NOTES: The Cherry Lane boxing club of Laurel, MD won the Washington Team trophy. Two of their open members -- Thomas Williams and Marlon Bolen -- performed exceptionally well in two of the best bouts of the evening. Bolen was able to battle Cornelius Whitlock of Midtown with solid movement throughout his contest. Williams survived the relentless onslaught of Sugar Ray Leonard's Mario Murphy. After two rather close rounds, Williams stepped up the pace nicely, using solid uppercuts from distance to fend off Murphy. Williams has solid power and nice hand speed.
Had Dream Team's Tyrell Newton been able to hang on to his mouthpiece, his bout with David Grayton of the Headbangers could have gone either way. From my vantage point, two of the four times Newton lost the mouthpiece (once in the second round and once in the third) seemed to be as a result of Grayton's punches knocking the mouthpiece out. However, on two occasions, Newton seemed to try and kick the mouthpiece off the canvas without referee Floyd Favors seeing it.
Also in the Open Division, there were good outings from Kevin Rivers, Elvis Modrano and Travis Peterkin.
We can confirm that Nick Kisner of Club One does indeed have a broken jaw that will keep him out of action until mid-May.
The Novice Division saw four stoppages, the most brutal coming from Ben July of Round One. July landed incredible body shots on Sugar Ray's Craig Klein that led to a thunderous right hand that dropped Klein. Marquis Taylor of Tony's Gym did a nice job breaking open a close contest with Dream Team's Charles Brumfield with a brutal right hand that eventually forced a stoppage.
Also on the card, Old School's Dusty Harrison won a junior matched bout against Kashif El-Amin of Wilmington, NC. The two fought a first-class contest and showed tremendous sportsmanship afterwards.
Legendary Beltway Boxing trainer David Jacobs was honored tonight for his numerous contributions to the sport. Jacobs was very influential in the careers of numerous boxers including Sugar Ray Leonard, Eugene "Sonny" Speed," Derrik Holmes, Dale Staley and Lloyd "Honey Boy" Taylor. Jacobs was the coach of the US Boxing team from 1983-1987 and helped prepare the US team for the 1988 Olympics in Korea. That US team featured the likes of Andrew Maynard, Riddick Bowe, Roy Jones, Jr., Ray Mercer and International Boxing Hall of Fame member Michael Carbajal. It was great to see Sonny Speed and Dale Staley in attendance to honor their former coach.
The Golden Gloves Regionals will take place on Friday, April 17 at the Waldorf Jaycees Community Center. The Virginia/North Carolina Golden Gloves Championships are taking place this weekend in Virginia Beach, VA. I should get a roster of who's coming to the regionals from that area sometime next week.

tonight's championship bout's were great. The novice and open division had some good bouts. The cherry lane boy's performed very well, congrat's to coach Wilbur ur putting together a great team.
i never would have members of the same gym fighting each other that just makes for hate and anamosty in your gym thats really a bad idea.
Charles "Country" Dobbins--you are without question a class act.
when is ever main street gym ,coach going stop crying an get in some real boxing matchups.this guy is a phony.get in some r e a l matches,not easy pickings.you to fernando,please.
From 107.5 Referees Section (16) Specific Fouls – mouthpiece and low blows:
iv. If a boxer carries the mouthpiece halfway outside of his mouth, said boxer will be “cautioned” to reinsert it. A second offense will carry another caution. A third time will require an official “warning.” Subsequent offenses require additional warnings.
This is different than i and ii where it is knocked out or spit out. Separate cautions and warnings are given for it actually come out. You cannot combine the two fouls. Handling each of the three (spit out, knocked out and halfway out) have specific ways the referee should handle it.
-----------------------
For whomever it may concern. From the Appendix I Hints for Referrees Section of USA Boxing Rulebook:
*Never try to get into the act. Good referees make the boxers feel their presence, but the audience hardly realizes they are in the ring.
*A minor infringement that is not advantageous to the offender does not merit a warning. A caution therefore should be sufficient. Warnings are for dangerous infringements, harm fouls or persistent offenses.
*A loud smacking “thud” is often the result of a hit with an open glove. This kind of hitting is not boxing and has no place in the ring.
*It is not necessary to stop a bout to caution the offender for less serious infringements of the rules. You may avail yourself of a suitable safe opportunity during the round to caution the offender.
last nite was a great nite of dc gg boxing. every open boxer had their hands full and they had to earn their wins. both 152lb boxers were bangin until the mouthpiece rightfully became an issue. but the man of the night was floyd, who took his lumps this week and came to the party....READY. did you see b4 the 152lb bout how he cracked his neck and knuckles and got ready for the bout? then the guy forced him to do his job. bottom line, dont f*#* with floyd. even if i hate to admit it, good job ref.
I heard floyd say he came ready to DQ. He said that people have been saying he DQ boxers too much, so to prove he cannot be influenced by complaints, he planned on DQing someones ass on Friday.
i think people seen it in floyd's eyes. i dont think he was mad, after all he is a public figure in the community and in dc boxing. people gonna critize him, its all in the game yo...its all in the game. but it was floyd this week who handled his situation with the bloggers with class. good job floyd.
any information on the va gg? they are fighting. any one to watch?
floyd favors needs to read the aau rule book. needs to have his drinking bar hopping friend majic read it to him. 2 peas in a pod...
A site that is posting va golden glove results would be really nice.....
for thomas williams: in the va gg, a guy name david johnson from fayetville lost in the 178lb class to a va kid in a close one. checking for more results.
Once again Floyd proved to take the fight out of the boxers and coach's hands by giving points without cautions and wiping boxers eyes and faces. If he pokes a boxer in the eye, you think his coach will understand. That's for the coach or doctor to do. I really hope Floyd is not considered a PVA icon. Thumbs up on a beautiful amateur career, now let some boxers enjoy theirs!!!
not the biggest ff fan but carrying a small cloth to wipe blood is in the rulebook fir referees to do. I thought the same thing when I saw it happen at Under 19 Championship and I looked it up. It's there.
There is power and abuse of power. Floyd had the power to take points and stop the fight, but should he. No cautions in bout, straight to point deductions. Normally a ref might wipe for doctor, not between action. Some refs wear latex gloves, some don't. A ref can stop a bout after one punch, now you have to determine if he or she should have. Knowing how to use the power defines a good official from a bad one.
main steet gym, stop crying.box,man up
sorry, cant blame floyd for this one. newton was in that fight but his anger bought that bout to an end. kicking the mouthpiece, floyd didnt make newton do that. the floyd bashers are wrong this time and is making a hero out of him. tell him to his face, and in the meantime, who are the va/nc winners? good job floyd.
