The Official SBC amateur boxing thread. The SBC has decided that with the Golden Gloves and Olympic Qualifiers no longer being aired on television, there
Good. I don't put enough effort in researching amateur fights. Now I can better keep up with future prospects. Woot! You should always have your female partner use an enema kit before you perform the sodomy. Always.
Now I want you to do something about my Avatar. I know I am sporting the Frank Warren bitch, but I like to sport something nice in the future.
To get this thread off the emotional woman crap, Gotta give props to my stablemate Chris Eubank Jr. Very few "Sons of" go about things in a patient way. They tend to want to get in there and prove themselves, they tend to get fed to the wolves far too soon despite any talent (much like Chad Ganigan). But Chris despite being 19 and in good physical condition has decided to go as far as he can in the Amateurs before going Pro. He says he wants to change the perception of the "Son of" curse. He's won the Nevada GG for his weight class, and I think he's still competing. I've been forgetting to ask him how it's going, but I'll ask Mike tomorrow for the purposes of this thread. It's just good to see a second generation not rushing things, and taking time to run the Amateur gauntlet to establish his own credibility, all the way across the ocean from his Familial tie. Here's the vid of his second Amateur fight: YouTube - Chris Eubank Jr Boxing 2 And from when the Old Man visited the Gym:
What's up with Eubanks putting up street fights on the internet like that. Not good for his publicity.
I boxed in the amateurs in Michigan from 1999 to 2001 (My sophmore, junior, and senior years of high school). Is there anybody else on Sherdog that boxed in the amateurs during that time in Michigan? I trained at the Irish Hills Boxing Club in Brooklyn, MI. My trainer was Bob Kerr. I miss boxing alot and I have some great memories from fighting.
Don't forget about BostonMMA's awesome thread detailing the US Olympic team. http://www.sherdog.net/forums/f53/meet-2008-us-olympic-team-740008/ Demetrius Andrade is going to hurt someone and win gold. Watch. EDIT: Found the video. YouTube - AIBA Amateur Finals - Demetrius Andrade vs. Non Boonjumnong

Hell yeah Bobby and PBO. Gotta keep this sh!t going. A quick update on almost everyone's favorite SHW fighter Mike Hunter Jr. At the Olympic trials 2007 Hunter beat Kimdo Bethel twice and won the tournament. At the World Championships 2007 he beat Kurban G
