[Dennis]

This tournament starts tonight in Lowell, MA. The Golden Gloves competition takes place at the Lowell Memorial Auditorium on January 9, 13, 20, 27 and February 3, 10, and 13. The championships will be held on February 17 & 18.

Does anyone have any results from the first day or info on the open class boxers who entered the tournament? I know O'Connor turned pro, but what about the rest of their 2008 team.

[Dennis]

Any results yet? Who will be boxing in the open class finals on Tuesday and Wednesday?
