Nice treat from ESPN.
ESPN to air Golden Gloves next weekend.
That is great news! I honestly can't believe ESPN is going to take the time to cover this.
Anyone know a site that will keep updated results throughout the early rounds? Also, anywhere that shows the brackets? I know the brackets for the 1st group was done this morning, and would like to see some of the matchups. Thanks.

Thanks for the link Btown.
Looking over the 1st day results (and I am no expert on amateur boxing), there appears to have been two upsets.
At 141, 10th ranked Willie Padilla of Wyoming was beaten by California's Aris Ambriz. And at 201, 4th ranked Derek Zugic from Illinois was stunned by unranked Oklahoman Eric Fields.
The light-heavy field looks to be the most competitive, with 6 of the top 8 ranked fighters in the field.
Surprisingly, the Knoxville team is the best so far, at 4-0. The only other undefeated teams with more than one fight are California and New York Metro, who are both 2-0.
Omaha has been the worst team, with three losses, two by stoppage. The Rocky Mountain team is also 0-3, and New Jersey, Indiana, Tri-State and Michigan are also winless.

The second day of bouts seemed to have a lot of close calls for some favorites.
At 132, Jonathan Gover of Texas is the clear favorite, at least by the US rankings. But he got in tough with New England's Joseph Perez and escaped with a 3-2 win.
At 152, the clear favorite is Demetrius Andrade, the National Champion from Rhode Island. But he too had to battle to a 3-2 win, over Michael Faulk of Minnesota.
Another National Champion who had to win 3-2 was Light Heavy William Rosinsky of Brooklyn, who bested Marcus Oliveira from the underdog Kansas City team. The rest of the loaded field won well - Alan Lawrence by retirement, DeRae Crane, Brandon Gonzales and Maurice Louishomme all won by stoppage, and Rommel Rene won a unanimous decision.
The top Superheavy, gigantic Greg Corbin (6-4 275) out of Dallas won by retirement. His top rival, Kourtney Boden of Little Rock was outpointed by Jovhann Carr of Michigan in the day's apparently biggest upset. The other ranked superheavy, Kimdo Bethel of Albany won pretty easily.

He has a real future..says he wants to turn pro fairly soon..If I were managing him I would have him fight for 2 and half more years and then see if he could make the olympics.
