The Upper Midwest Golden Gloves in Walker, MN. were awesome! I had a great time with my dad and the fights were great. Thanks to Golden Gloves and the Northern Lights Casino for putting on a great show. Special Thanks to Sean Clerkin as well. I met him briefly and he is a class act. I can't wait for Salk Lake City. My father and I will be going out to support a local fighter. I can't wait for more great boxing out West. See you all there! -Sean Strauss
I can't wait for the Upper Midwest Golden Gloves this coming weekend up in Walker, MN. Although I am confused why it's up in Walker so far away... and also why it's on Easter weekend. Seems like poor planning. Hopefully there is a decent turn out. Good luck to all the fighters out there!
Hi everyone! I'm trying to find out if anyone knows Johnny Mascaro. I met him this weekend in Des Moines. Seems like a great guy and has been involved in boxing for years. He told me he is planning to get back in the ring at 69!
