The US Olympic Committe is the strongest in the world. They have many top sponsors. Also as one of the strongest NOC:s they receive a lot of money from television rights from the IOC.

So the Harvey, IL show isn't happening this Saturday? Do you have a date for February? USA Boxing's website still lists it for this Saturday.

A fellow computer tech, who was scheduled to go to Harvey, told me the dual had been postponed until February. She didn't have a date.

Roberts - Is Derek still boxing at 178? Are you two boxing out of the same gym? I know you two used to box out of different gyms.

Hey Dennis. Now we are. Windy City Closed In January but our coach has many boxers and is opening a new gym in December I heard. Yea, Derek is staying at 178 , I'm surprised he can stay down but he said its not a problem for him.

It was sad that Windy City closed. Derek told me at the MW Trials that 178 wasn't that hard for him to maintain.
