Roberto

Roberto made the web site for the Indy paper: http://photos.indystar.com/galleries/12530?odyssey=mod|lateststories. Photos 21 &22.

He fought a good fight but lost the decision. His opponent was taller and quicker. He would stick and move and Roberto would give chase. Roberto had him figured out by the third round as was able to corner him and land some good shots but it was too little, too late.

The Gloves was a little bit disappointing this year. We didn't have near the competitors or near the results that we've had in the past. That's an issue that needs to be addressed for the club to continue. The economy certainly has played a part but we need to start actively recruiting it appears to keep things moving forward. The numbers at the Golden Gloves were down this year, so it's not just here, but . . . .

The Nationals are going to be in Indy at the end of the month. If you're looking to see some top-notch boxing action, this will be the place to be. I've been to the Nationals a couple of times and the action is always great. We might be putting a group outing together. Let us know if you're interested.

Congratulations and thanks to everyone who participated this year in the Gloves. Keep up the good work.
