Russell, Nicholson Win PAL Titles; Sol Moves Into Finals!

The Beltway has two National PAL Champions and may have a third by the end of the day.

Congratulations to Capitol Heights, MD 106-pounder Gary Antonio Russell, who won the 15-16 age bracket in his weight class by defeating Edwin Sandoval of Bakersfield, CA, 5-0 last night in Oxnard, CA.

Also, Kudos to Desmond Nicholson of Laurel, MD who captured the 15-16 age bracket in the 154-pound class. Nicholson defeated Ivan Zubieta of Dallas, TX by the score of 4-1.

Tonight, Baltimore super heavyweight Tavon Sol has an opportunity to be the only Beltway amateur to win an Open championship. Sol advanced to the finals by defeating Danny Calhoun of Cincinnati, OH, 4-1. Sol will now face Bryant Tune, who is a member of the Marine Corps Boxing Team.

congradulation Antonio Russell, it looks like you won both of your matches leaving no doubt to who the winner truly was. You may be the man in 2012. Look Out Bejing!!!
Keep up the good work.
Nicholson you came along way. You are now showing us what you are made of. I hear you had to box every single night. I am impressed!
You should feel proud winning a tournament when your bracket is full. Now lets get back to school and keep bringing them A's home.
You are more than just a dood boxer abd we are all rooting for you.

Antonio Russell may have only fought twice but he did so good that he got the outstanding boxer award for the 16 year old class.
He deserves it and will win many more to come.
