I have to agree.. i watched a few of Arias fights vs, Travis, Jesse Hart, & Ballard (Ballard to me, put a whipping on arias *funny how the videos came down*.. didn't see jesse's fight yet.. I heard it was a robbery) but it seem everytime Arias threw a punch, a point was scored... I don't like t...

[quote="Dennis"]It always amazes me when boxers skip out on the NGG after winning their franchise tournament. Lots of excuses, some good and some not so good. Bottom line is a lot skip going because they don't believe they have a chance of winning and don't want to lose. My hat is off to t...

I know this is an amateur boxing blog, but please allow me the time to give thoughts and prayers to Haitian amateur boxers like Steve Geffrard of Florida, and Herve Duroseau of NY Metro. And pro champ Andre Berto along with many other boxers who names I missed, along with many Haitians all over the ...

There are a lot more boxers in the 165 class capable of making the Olympic Team. You forgot Russell Lamour and Kurtiss Colvin who will be in the mix. There are also some young guns on the way up to watch out for. U are correct. I thought about that but didn't mention it. In Olympic Trials history a...

Hey, maybe in 2010 the people can see Travis, Jesse, Arias and Gausha all beat on each other. They all capable of making the Olympic team. I know this will be a memorable rivalry.

Kurtiss is my boy. He and Trav talk on the phone. But if they have 2 fight, they will try 2 beat each other down. But he never was funny money towards us. Love that kid.

Heard they have a Masters Division also. Yep - for boxers ages 35 and over. One of the highlights of the annual Ringside tournament is the Masters Division competition. 8) Im loving this. The Masters at the Ringside. Big Zim, U going 2 Kansas 4 the Masters? U need some sparring? U know U my main man.

IT'S BOLD, BUT JESSE FIGHTING FOR RESPECT. THERE IS NOT ENOUGH OPPORTUNITIES OUT THERE TO KEEP THESE FIGHTERS HUNGRY. HE NEEDS THE INTERNATIONAL EXPERIENCE. HE REALLY WANT TO FIGHT FOR THE USA. HE TRAIN VERY HARD, WAITING FOR THE PHONE CALL TO REPRESENT FOR THE USA. I NEVER MEET A KID SO FOCUS AND ...

Mr. Peterkin, I am on the east coast and I know that I can beat your son as I have been watching him for a while. I don't think that has enough strength to be in the ring with me. He is too generous and I would take advantage of his generousity. :box: He has a lot to learn in his youthfulness and I...

Good job Dennis. Jordan is doing big things. Im not into being disrespectful. Any boxer to put on a pair of gloves' I respect that. But to accomplish your mission in this sport, its a wonderful thing.

Travis Peterkins dad, what national tournaments did your son win. My son won the ringside twice, beginning in 2003. He also won the Ringside worlds. He won the jr. golden gloves in 2006. We beat Steve Geffrard at the Ringside Augusta Summer Classic in 2005, then lost a disputed decision to him at t...

did al simpson blackball wade bolton and his brother? I don't know where you got that one from, but I know that Wade left boxing on his own and as is too often the case has chosen the streets over boxing. He was a great boxer and definitely would have been making waves at these nationals had he sta...

sheboygan press is cool. i like other major media outlets. Jordan has received coverage from other media outlets, but I like it when the Sheboygan Press recognizes him. He still has family and friends that live in the area and like to read about him. Sometimes some of the better stories are written...

National Champion Victor Ortiz just got stopped.

Not cool calling people out, but people say what they feel. Sometimes to a fault. Let him know BigZim.

Thank you Mrs. Ley. You are correct. In fact, I am trying to contact Za-Quan right now. I am proud of my boys. Both can be stubborn, but I can always talk to them. Both are southpaws. I always taught them to respect people like how we want to be respected. Sometimes I thought people didn't understan...

coaches and officials with vendettas are not ( yes they are ). Believe what you want, but this kind of attitude leads to bad sportsmanship from coaches and boxers who like to complain. Dwelling on negativity can only make things worse. Thank you. I dont know who Skept is, and Im not mad at him, but...

You must be Mrs. Melanie Ley. I spoke to at the PAL's in 2005. Za lost a close one out there. Thanks for your support. I would like for Za-Quan to go pro. Support is a great thing in USAB. Thanks.

Skept, I realize you know me. A lot of other people realize it too. Please, watch what you say because I have enough problems. You make some good points, but don't take it too personal..... Thank you, Travis Peterkin's Dad.

Yes, my oldest son Za-Quan lives in Cali. He returned home for a while in NY, now he is in Cali again. 22 yrs old. Boxed in the ringside in 04. Won the Califorina State belt. Boxed at Durango with Coach Greg. Would love to see him in the gym again. Has amazing speed. Za-Quan started the Peterkin's b...

This is Travis Peterkin's father and I agree young kids should be careful turning pro too early. Kids come to win and to just take a bout from a kid is not good. But hey, my son has a home in USA Boxing and I am forever grateful. We took the good with the bad many times, but you know what? Its all g...

Thankyou skept but I moved on from the arias bout. Its over and done with, but the support has been appreciated. Just staying out of trouble and getting ready. Yeah i fought alicea in 04 but that was 5 years ago. he is a good person. I have no problems with usa boxing. This sport gave me an idenity....
