I attended the fights Saturday and was dissatisfied. What happen to all the hype? I was looking forward to the noise and cheering that took place the past couple of weeks. That was fun as hell. Is it some where in the rule book that says a club can not walk their boxer to the ring clapping their hand mitts or using a banner or a bull horn. I personally believe this is taking away from the sport of amateur boxing. My first amateur boxing event was at the Sugar Ray Leonard Boxing Center, as I remember is was the Head Bangers and the Umar Boxing Club who hyped the crowd with the Head Bangers chanting loudly The Head Bangers, The Head Bangers, The Head Bangers and Big Lou from Umar chanting, Who Let the dogs out !!!
ReplyDeleteCome on PVA lets get back to boxing of old. Our former Presidents Rick or Candy never had a problem with freedom of expression so why should you Ron. If you want quite then go to church because boxing is not for you.
I certainly hope next week or other events doesn't be like the last.
NoXcus and the Head Bangers keep doing what you do, y'all had Hill Crest chanting Hill Crest I never heard that before.
Golden gloves is unfair its not even about who's good anymore its about who the judges want to win many kids are getting cheated & people that don't deserve to win are getting the victories this really needs to change the golden gloves needs new judges who actually know how to judge & stop cheating kids that worked hard
ReplyDeleteHeadbangers and NoXcuse keep cheering loud for your clubs. Its good for the sport. I was looking forward to it this past Saturday.
ReplyDeleteLls right!
DeleteI don't represent any gym... I just love boxing, but I agree the judges need too stop showing favoritism & score the bout the way it's fought & not by that's your favorite boxer or gym... That's the reason why when you send the same fighters to the nationals & they don't win it all, because the coaches in the other regions, already no how beat em... If we start sending our best, instead of our favorites will have more national champions each year... PVA judges you know who you are... Stop the cheating & do the right thing!!!
ReplyDeletePVA always have national champions. Check the record books. Take your kid/boxer to one if you think he's one of the elite. Sound like a sore loser for sure. All Nationals you don't have to qualify for, you can just go. So if you haven't won one National or let alone competed in one, you really shouldn't be commenting like that crybaby. Wipe your tears man. USA's are next week and I bet your boxer is not going.
ReplyDeleteWhich bouts were robberies?
ReplyDeleteExactly! They complaining it wasnt no robs
DeleteWhich of the bouts were robberies?
ReplyDeletePatrick Harris (Headbangers)vs. Cornell Hines (Nomis) was a robbery.
ReplyDeleteThat wasn't no robbery, teach you boxer how to fight not run!!!
ReplyDeleteThat fight with the Lil light skin kid from headbanger wASNT no robbery ... The kid clearly landed more Effective shots while the other kid from normis was just running , throwing a butch of bullshit shots just trying to survive , this is the problem , coaches be Satisfied with they fighter bullshit ass performances , take your fighter back to the gym and teach him how to fight ..
ReplyDeleteThe Boy From Nomis Did Good It could of went either way
ReplyDeleteMan that boy from nomis is a good fight and he wasn't trying to survive he was showing us that it's more to boxing than just banging and he won that fight which was a clear robbery the judges was just showing favoritism and bye the way I've seen the nomis kid fight before and he is terrific and don't get me wrong Patrick Harris is a great fighter
ReplyDeleteFirst of all he is not horrible he is a great fighter he won that fight but he got robbed which happens all the time and to say he's horrible u must be a bitch ass hater and I bet he can beat 95% of 141 pounders in the country what y'all should do is give this man a contract
ReplyDeleteIf he can beat 95% of the 141lbs then send him to the USA Nationals and prove it.
