The much celebrated Daily News Golden Gloves tournament starts next Thursday...haven't seen any threads created for it or it being too heavily discussed so I decided to make one.
Wanted to stir up some discussion for the Gloves...anyone have any predictions for the tournament?
I'll post the schedule...
I think the 141 & 152 Open Divisions will have the best bouts this year as they usually seem to do.
Please feel free to discuss...

"Don't forget 141 is gonna be good also. Btw when does the novice fighters start fighting"
O yeah I think 141 will have the best matchups...
Not sure when Novice fighters start fighting...I've heard 152 and 165 Open are opening night and 141 Open is going on the Saturday card in Hillburn, NY...
"can we still get in if we are a 152 lb novice female fighter- or are we too late"
Can't confirm but I highly doubt it...to fight in the Gloves you MUST have a physical...and physicals ended earlier this week...maybe if you have some connections...I can't really say though.
"The 152 open are not fighting in the opening night.Also the 152 novice are fighting friday"
Yeah ur right. I heard 152 and 165 Novice are going opening night...idk why they wouldn't let the open fighters start up the tournament...or showcase the women
O and
The site for Friday night's Golden Gloves show has been moved to St.Bernard's School Hall at 2030 East 69th St. Brooklyn, NY 11234
Lotta good fighters in 141 Open...good to see Patrick Day, Bryan O'Connor, Carlos Teron get shine in today's NY Daily News article. All three won on Saturday.
I'd be shocked if it wasn't one of them to win the Gloves...Teron just barely lost to Shemuel Pagan in the Finals last year, and Day (in my opinion) won the novice final last year at 141...
O'Connor is good too but he isn't gonna beat either of the other two or any other top guys unless he can fight for all 3 rounds(stamina)...
I said it before but 141 and 152 Open will probably have the best fights(as I've heard usually do)...
I heard Javier Baez (World Class BC) who was in the 132 Novice Final last year lost yesterday(must have moved up to 141).
anyone seen the english from london box boy called ryan taylor box at 141lbs
Didn't see the fight but I heard he gave his opponent (Wesley Ferrer) a tough fight... in the Daily News article, Wesley says that was his toughest fight....
Found an article with the full results from Saturday's card...
Saturday January 22 Results
115 Thorne Valley Road, Hillburn NY 10901
Jose DeLaRosa, Universal BC, d. Javier Baez, World Class BC, RSC 2:04 of 3rd round.

The bolded is an error. Patrick Day defeated Vladimir Pierre...suprised they could make a mistake like that.
Lotta names at 141...Patrick Day won the Metros, Teron made it to the Finals in the Gloves last yr, O'Connor won the Gloves some years back, Wesley won the Gloves before as well(132)...
Good question, he must not be...with his resume he would have probably had an article talking about him before the tournament started. Only him and Marcus Browne(178-0) are ranked by USA Boxing in New York...
Sosa might just do the Trials and go pro...he's earned a spot by winning the PAL's...
This is out of the subject but do u guys know if theirs any jos fighting in the gloves this year in the novice or open class like Jamie estrada 114, Christian Chavez 119 or and Cristino Cebello 138 they made it to nationals but I didnt seen them fight in the metros or pals
the 132lb open weight class, is going to surprise lots of people, you have three great fighters in Louis Cruz a golden glove winner last year and Marcos Suarez also a golden glove winner last year & Marcus Browne another golden glove winner last year. I see Louis Cruz winning it all, going to be tough though.
Pedro Sosa isn't doing the gloves this year, already has a spot in the olympic trials and is ranked in the world already he has nothing to prove, he's proved it all already.

I'm pretty sure Cristino is fighting in the Gloves...he was 141 Open in the Metros...he beat Marlon Brown in the Metros then lost...
Christian Chavez trains with me, he took a break from boxing for other reasons but he's back in the gym now...I think this is his last year of eligibility for the JO's...

Marcus Browne fights at 178 not 132
But yea Cruz is a good fighter and so is Suarez...suprised they would have Cruz and Suarez go 132(they're from the same gym)...
There's other good fighters at 132 such as Angel Garcia and Domonique James...anything can happen
yea Suarez and Cruz fighting in the same class doesn't really make alot of sense because Suarez and Cruz are the best fighters in that class and they have the same coach (Suarez' Dad)
