The Potomac Valley Association of USA Boxing is hosting a very special "Night of Legends" on Saturday, February 9 at 5 PM at Rosecroft Raceway in Fort Washington, MD.
The event pays tribute to six men who have given a lifetime of commitment to amateur boxing in the Washington, DC area as well as made a lifetime commitment to helping our youth.
The event will honor:
Junious Hinton
Eugene Hughes
Dave Jacobs
Ham Johnson
Vardell McCann
Curtis Rawlings
All six of these men helped lay the foundation for what we know today as the Beltway Boxing Scene. I am very proud to say I have worked with all of them in many capacities and the tribute they are receiving is very well deserved!
These men should be honered.
ReplyDeleteThey have brought much to sport
for many years.
It's sad that Truman Tuttle is not included in this group.
Great group of honorees, but Bobby Magruder should be in there, too.
ReplyDeleteIts about time Mac is recognized for all that he gave to the sport and the community over the last 40 years or better!!
ReplyDeleteWho put this list together?
ReplyDeleteDoes anyone know?
My assumption that it was the Potomac Valley Association of USA Boxing.
ReplyDeleteAll these men are worthy but should have mixed it up a bit.
