Look's like the action is starting to heat up this week, to bad your going to miss this week Digital. Have fun at the pro bout's.
Why would the brains to be schedule the gloves the same day as a pro card people want to go see both
I think the gloves were already scheduled, its the same schedule every year. They should have the pro fight on friday.
Any results for last nights fights?
I've been a fight fan my entire life and have supported the Golden Gloves tournament for many years. As time goes on I've seen a ongoing and continuous epidemic toxifying the sport with regards to extremely questionable decisions. This saturday night was no exception. Several decisions were completely erroneous, however most discouraging was the Warden vs Burrs fight. Burrs landed against Warden at will and his defense seemed unpenetrable however for some reason Warden still won the fight. Unbelieveable!!!
Emmanuel Rodriquez, keep your head up buddy, that was your fight and the stoppage with a few seconds left in the last round was crazy.
Kevin Rivers is a much better fighter than his performance saturday night. Chalk that one up to the referee totally losing control of the fight.
I don't think a lot of the fights in the gloves is as much about seeing who's the best fighter as it is about bragging rights amongst the larger boxing clubs, generating rivalries in hopes of prompting more interest in the sport, and overall ticket sales. Sorry to learn some good fighters are getting screwed in the process.
