Flipping a tractor tire. Although MMA guys use it to build the kind of streangth needed to grapple on the ground, boxers do not need that same bulk or streagnth. Also, you have different size guys flipping the same size tire and the chance of back injury is too much risk for the gain. JMO

Dennis I am in CO right now at my daughters in Crested Butte. The temp is 4 and I had another great idea to raise money for USAB. I am going to set up a lemonade stand on the way up the mountain. It might not be as big as the Colbert thing but at least I am trying.

The increased fee will just mean banckrupcy a little quicker for me. Yes Dennis I saw the money pit. So here is my 2 cents, In a sport that in in general made of kids from inner city and low income, I think it makes complete sence to increase registrations durring the worst economic times since the ...

I though I was done with the bottomless pit when I sold my boat

I must agree with Dennis, Patrick seemed very dedicated to getting the boxers in peak physical condition. He never claimed to know the ins and outs of the sport and only needed to know enough to formulate the right training routine. That said, he was interested enough to continue to learn so that he...

Is it just me or does anyone else feel like we are shoveling coal like crazy into a locomotive with no conductor. Who is running what, in Co. and what is happening to to correct the problems. Like Dennis, I can say the the turmoil isn't affecting the gym environment right now, but it will if somethi...

It makes me sick to my stomach that the sport we love so much can't have people with the same passion at the top. You hear of inappropriate spending ect ect. I don't get it. money comes in,,,you deposit it and log it just like on quickbooks, then money goes out and you log it and enter it. In 1 minu...

Andrew Madigan is no longer with USA Boxing and from what news is out there it goes beyond finding a better job or wanting to move on. There are issues behind the story that appear to affect everyone involved with USA Boxing and I wounder if anyone can accurately relay the complete scenario. From a ...

Very happy for you and Jordan, Dennis. You brother must be very proud as well. I'd hoped it would have been us up there with you but it didn't work out that way. I did tell you that you were definitely going to win it through.

And spitting in you coke bottle instead of drinking from it. or

You might be an amateur boxer if you strip naked in front of a room full of strangers and think nothing of it, because with you shorts, you are .25lb over

Great post idea John S

You might be an amatuer boxer if you carry your sandwhich and snacks in your spitbucket

I does my boxing heart good to see the Boxing Jordan Family here in full force. To have a father /son team working in the corner for thier the third generation is truly a cool thing. Even better is that the Sr. Mr Jordan by looking about 15 years younger than he is and Dennis, looking a few years ol...

Interesting event happened tonight (thursday) during the GG. Ring number 2 just colapsted with a huge boom, while boxers were in the heat of battle. No one hurt , but it did distract everyone there and even cause the boxers in the other rings to take notice as everyone went to make sure no one was h...

Many driven young media reporter are looking for a different angle that puts them out front. For that reason it is important to keep it rather bland and humble, like the pac man, ie I just try to do my job. Or boxers that are asked who would you like to match up against that give the pat answer. I l...

Thanks D. It seems so strange to hear the name Oscar Delahoya announced and just a few appause. This is great stuff for the young kids in the gym to watch.

A rose by any color........

Mel, Could you please list some of your reasons why you feel we should not discuss the amateurs turned pro. I very much appreciate you honest opinion,,,,,, even if it is wrong.

Coach B, Only two US boxer did not compete on the second night. One was because his opponent was unable after the first bout. It was believed his nose was broken, but that was not confirmed and the second was because of a finger injury to a USA boxer and the doctor would not clear him to box. Since ...

Not to mention Manny Taylor

Maybe more like the butter knife.

You would have to know theeee Reeest of the story. The Rosado camp camp came in to town with quite lots of negative comment in our newspaper and TV, but we just kept it real and said we will do our talking in the ring. He listened to a lot of it and had to listen to the whole town saying did you hea...

Dennis, The most import question I need you to answer about the fight is , How did I look on air ?

Dom stayed with us down here and they worked to get an opponent hard after his fell out, It will probably be on the next scheduled Prizefight promoting card in MS you can check that out at Prizefight promotions.com. After taking him to get a new suit and seeing how good he looked I nicknamed him Dom...

Were you able to see the fight.

Please use the word beat loosely when referring to Tyson and Hunter's bout. The only place that Hunter lost that bout was on the paper at each judges table. In fact Mike beat his body so badly he could not compete in the second part of the duel. The only thing I could figure was that they were not s...
