Results from Monday's bouts. Enjoy!

[Kolya]

I love you. In a boxing grandmother sort of way.

[jtyson]

wow thanks for those results.

Am i reading this correct, 28. Christopher Eubanks Jr., Nevada decisioned Sid Williams, Tri-State?? Is it the son of the English champion Chris Eubanks or is that a coincidence?[/b]

correction... with some research I discovered Chris Eubanks son (Chris Eubanks Jr.) lives in Las Vegas and is an Amatuer boxer. So it is infact him

I love you. In a boxing grandmother sort of way.

Kolya, it's perfectly okay to love an elderly, greying, with false teeth lady. I love many of you young whipper snappers, too.

Jtyson - you're welcome. Someone back there is sending me complete info - bless his heart, whoever he is. Interesting to know that Eubanks is a junior. Nevada is in my USA Boxing region and can't say that I've heard of him before.

Results from Monday's bouts. Enjoy!

Does any one know how to get dvd's of preliminary bouts or is this impossible? Are there any other sites that might have pictures?

My son fought last night and even if he goes know further I am proud and would love to see the bout

[boxmel]

Hey Kolya - great win for your buddy!

Duran Caferro, Rocky Mountain, dec. Shemuel Pagan, New York Metro, 3-2.

[Kolya]

AWESOME! That's great! Pagan was the one I was most worried about him boxing too, because I remember Pagan beat him at the Trials. That's great. Caferro is just so much stronger at 132 now. Great win, really proud of the kid.

[actionfan]

Does anyone know if Dorian Anthony fought? I could not find any bouts with results for him. Thanks.

[boxmel]

He lost last night.

I don't know of anyone doing anything like that. His bout may have been recorded by one of the 4 local TV stations. I put the website info about them on the other thread about the 2008 NGG: countdown to Grand Rapids. The semi-finals and finals will be recorded and aired at a later date.

Joe is a local kid about 20 miles from me in Melbourne,Florida. Good to see him doing so well and now in the finals vs SI poster O'Connor. Joe has quite a punch and has been fighting well in memory of good friend the late Troy Harden who was murdered last year.
