Coach Jimmy took four guys to a fight on June 27th and we had two wins. Joe Barcelli and Matt Mezzacapo both won their bouts by finishing strong and dominating the third round. Patrick Garcia lost a hard fought close decision and Anthony Perry lost a split decision. Congratulations to all the fighters.
Things are a little slow now at the gym due to summer vacations and the nice weather we're having. It's hard to keep the fire lit when you don't have a fight to train for and the weather keeps calling you outside for a dip in the pool or spending time with your friends.
Several of us will be doing the Rotary Ramble 5k in about 6 weeks. It would be a good time to start doing some roadwork if you're planning on running it. The club will also be putting on a boxing demonstration of some sort that day as part of the Town and Country Days festival as well. Last year we had a mobile boxing ring in the parade with "Peaches" Grady and "The Bleeder" McDaniels duking it out for about an hour straight as I pulled them down Halleck Street. It'll be hard to top that act but I'm sure Jimmy will think of something equally exciting.
If you're looking for a good workout or want to learn some boxing skills, stop by and check us out. We've got the air conditioning on!
