Championships continue Saturday, January 31 at same location. Open class winners advance to West Virginia Feb 12-15. Champions from regionals advance to nationals in Denver, Co June 8-13. Just found out #1 boxers in the nationals will receive stipends for $1000 and #2 boxers will get $500 for a year. Compliments from USA Boxing. With that kind of money I need to get back in the gym!!! Too late for me Master boxers are not included.

David grayton has lost a few controversial decisions in big tournys. Last year golden gloves final. The usa tourny last year and now this fight. Maybe the judges dont like his style who knows.

David Grayton style of fighting is cool and laid back unlike the show-offs. He won that fight in many eyes on Friday!!!!! That fight was stolen from David Grayton. David Grayton if you see this keep your head up!!!
