The national golden gloves are over and I’m finally home to pet my dogs and harass my wife.
We had a young man from Oregon lose a close one in the finals, and a woman from Seattle win the 132lb bracket. The rest of the team from Oregon, Nevada, Washington and Arizona all got picked off in or before rhe semi finals.
My big take away for next year is realizing how much the GG’s reward fighting over boxing. Where as USA Boxing rewards and pressure, golden gloves seems to reward power and aggression far more. If you’re going to out “slick” your opponent you need to be violent in your counter shots.
