These are all strictly amateur cards. Mighty Moe's gym is run by veteran trainer Moe Rites. The Hagerstown club has been around for a few years.

What about the D.C. card the black tie event on the 2nd of june in the nation capital let talk about that event, amature boxing at its best right here in my city you heard.

The people surrounding the Belfast-Beltway Boxing classic tend to forget to send me details on that event. I'm not on somebody's mailing list!

Gary, I attended the first Beltfast-Beltway Boxing classic and it was a complete mismatch in my eyes (the DMV's best and future pros vs decent amateurs with tons of heart from Ireland). Has it changed since?

Gary Digital Williams said...

To tell you the truth, I have never been able to attend this event. I always have a conflict that has not allowed me to be there.

It's a great opportunity to meet different people from another country and share ideas and tips about the sport.
