    Hi Gary,

    Can you explain the 2 night event? I have a couple guys from my gym that are supposed to fight tonight. Does that mean some might be matched up to fight tomorrow instead?

    Thanks

    Hows juice a hall a famer? Did he box before or is it because of all the shows he's recorded/thrown just curious?

    Juice has been around the boxing game for a very long time. He has worked with the likes of Sugar Ray Leonard, Simon Brown and Andrew Maynard. He has been in the camp of two Olympic Gold Medalists (Leonard and Maynard) and his commitment to doing work for the amateurs especially in this area is unmatched.

    As far as the two-nights are concerned, I would guess that would be possible that you may be matched up tomorrow instead of tonight. But I guess the weigh-in today would be the actual answer to that.

    Area could use a few new judges. Out of this 2 night event it had several questionable victories awarded to the wrong fighter. Its understood judges do make mistakes. But it's usually these same 3 or 4 judges at these events. Is their any plans to have other volunteers to judge some of these events? If rhey are willing to meet the requirements to become a judge. Or are these positions locked down?
