ROUGHOUSE AMATEUR SHOW

April 25, 2009

The Saturday afternoon show at the American Legion Hall in Newport News was a good one.  The small club house on Marshall Ave. was filled to capacity with a very enthusiastic crowd.  The Roughouse Boxing Club, who sponsored the event, deserves a lot of credit for their effort.  There were participating clubs from Maryland and New Jersey, as well as the local clubs.

Most of the bouts consisted of JO and novice contests, with two open bouts as a wrap up.  The concept of more small shows is working.  Theses local shows allow maximum exposure to youngsters who would otherwise go unseen.  It is not difficult to see the improvement in these young boxers.  All of the sponsoring clubs who undertake this task deserve a” well done” from the boxing community.  It is not an easy task.  

Our thanks should also go out to the officials, who travel as needed, to make these shows work.  It would be difficult to find more honest and unbiased judges and referees than we have in the state of Virginia.  The coaches hold positions that may have a tremendous impact on the boxers, both as fighters and as citizens.  Coaching is a task that cannot be taken lightly.

The combined effort of all may produce the caliber of boxers that will insure that amateur boxing remains the great sport that it is.

AMATEUR BOXING SHOW HELD AT THE 757 BOXING GYM ON MARCH 21, 2009  
 

A small, but wildly enthusiastic, crowd was treated to an action packed show at the 757 Boxing Club Saturday, March 21^st, in Virginia Beach. In each of the seven bouts, the contestants showed improvement in stamina and skill.

The first three fights were in the JO (Junior Olympic) category, followed by four novice class contests.  

In the third contest, two very good boxers, Immanuel Aleem and Chris Alexander, fought with the determination and expertise that only a few ever accomplish.  Aleem won the decision, but it was a close fight. Aleem was also awarded the “best boxer” trophy for the JO category.  

In a novice light heavyweight bout, Stanley Harvey was too powerful for his taller opponent, Kenneth Wherry.  Wherry was dropped by a sharp right hand midway the first round. When it became evident that he was in trouble again near the end of the round, his corner wisely retired their fighter. The novice “Best Boxer” trophy was awarded to Harvey for this contest.  

At the end of the evening, Reggie Barnett was being congratulated for putting on another good show, and he agreed that the show was great. “I just wish that more people could have seen it” he stated. I agree, Reggie, they missed a good one.

The concept of conducting more shows in smaller arenas is a good one.  The crowd was near capacity and very vocal, yet the show was well run and was entertaining.  Above all, the participants gained experience.  This is very important given the state tournament is only a couple of weeks away.  We want to send our very top talent to the regional tournament in April. 

At the Annual Navy Intramural Boxing Tournament, a total of thirty six bouts made a long, but action packed night of boxing.  NAB Little Creek hosted the event at Rockwell Hall.

The tournament is limited to novice boxers.  The preliminary bouts are composed of three, one minute rounds.  The winners go on to fight again, against other winners in the same weight class.

The preliminaries consisted of twenty two bouts:

There were fourteen championship bouts, with eight weight classes.  The championship bouts consisted of three, two minute rounds.

Joshua Swanson, at 165 lbs from NSWG 3, was voted the outstanding boxer of the tournament.  Swanson defeated David Hicks, DDG 74, in the preliminaries and stopped Marlon Watkins, FRC OCEANA, in the second round winning the championship bout.

Local boxing coaches on hand providing training, assistance and coordination:

John Hunter (USN CPO ret) Past ALL NAVY Boxing Team head coach

Robert Matney (USN CPO ret), Seven Cities Boxing Club

Reggie Barnett (USN ret), “757” Boxing Club

Some of the participants showed real promise.  Should they desire to take their amateur careers to the next level, local gyms and coaches are listed on this website.  

There were three selections of outstanding boxers.  In the JO division, Kavon Robertson of Staunton Boxing took the honors.  In the Novice Division Gene Floyd from Peninsula Boxing received the award. The Open Class  trophy went to Chris Alexander from Team Norfolk. Again, the coaches, officials, and boxers are to be congratulated for this fine performance.
