It is a learning experience for Zeddie and myself. Zeddie had over 20 pounds to lose in less than 30 days. His coach would not take him to the tournament because he felt Zeddie was not in the right condition. As a parent, sometimes it is hard to say no to your child. WRONG MOVE. Congratulations to M...

I still don't understand. If a boxer is fortunate enough to make it to the finals, is the boxer responsible for the additional hotel and flight charges?

How do you mess up 3 weights 132, 141, and. 152? They had Zeddie fighting 132. Other boxers were not even on the bout sheet. They have added Sunday, but how will it work? Zeddie's flight leaves Sunday at 7am. Will we have to pay for flight changes and later get reimbursed?

I just got an email from Nicki Smeland. She is saying that there were no spots available at 141, the regions were full. Thats funny. Ashley Gartland has been telling me that spots were available all week. Oh well. There are so many people in Zeddie's ear right now, that I am just trying to keep him ...

Ballard the 165 from the DC area got an "At Larger" Bid. So what are you saying about this process because obviously these bids are being handed out or the article got it wrong. http://www.gazette.net/stories/06232010/prinspo81705_32581.php I dont see how he got an At Large bid. He was no...

ZMOMMI - USAB doesn't list the criteria they use for the independent slots nor do they say how many are available. Are they going to give out one per weight class, 10 total - not necessarily the same # per weight class or say up to 5 per weight class? How many boxers applied for the spots? That wou...

Actually it would be an Independent slot, not an At Large. At Large spots are for boxers who were competing/traveling for Team USA and missed their LBC or Regional tournament. You are right Dennis. I don't think that many people understand the definition of " AT LARGE." Zeddie lost to Rob...

Why is Nieves listed at 119#? The new weight classes are 108, 114, and 123. Now Dennis, you know that I am just a mom :OhYes: . I just listed what was on the bout sheet :-? . I will try to get some clarification on that. Was Nieves rusty or is Tulley really good? BOTH!!! I dont think that Antonio g...

Everyone lost except the 152 and 165. Also our only female won. Zeddie led until the end of the 3rd when he got dropped by a right hook. He recovered quickly, but thought that he still should have won by points. The guys always feel when the fight against other countries that they don't get all of t...

Zeddie and Duran are roommates. I let him know that we are all pulling for him. Duran seems like a very nice and well deserving young man. It's good to let these guys and gals know that we love and SUPPORT them. I think Zeddie took your recommendations to heart Dennis. It's funny, they had their bod...

These is a great way to show our support. I just cast my vote for Duran!! Zeddie knew about it and did not say a word. I will try to get everyone to vote. Dennis, in this economy, you are about to shell out $250.00 for a ticket? Please do some cheering for me Saturday lol.

GOOD LUCK!!!!!

Does anyone have any type of details about this? I was recently told by my coach that I've been selected to represent in the 141 weight class but I haven't seen anything posted by USA boxing. Which dual were you asked to participate in? There are two that I know of according to coach Ed Wishers. On...

I'm looking forward to coaching your son in Des Moines.

Have not been on in a while. Good to hear from you Dennis. Zeddie is looking forward to Iowa. Glad to see that you will be one of the coaches. Zeddie is in good hands.

THEY GET PAID??!!? I THOUGHT IT WAS A RUMOR

Champions get $1000/month for the next year

Silvers get $500/month for the next year

Thats great. Congratulations to everyone involved.

I left Fri am, but having talked to a few boxers before I left, they weren't exactly pumped up for the box offs. I wouldn't be surprised if a bunch of the boxers didn't bother to show up for weigh ins. That's my guess on the walkovers. A bunch of sore losers. What bad sportsmanship. Yes some left a...

Zeddie felt that there should not have been as big a gap on points, but Jose did beat him.
