All in all it was a great night of amateur boxing. I would like to add that my favorite fighter of the night and he’ll be on my “PMAK WATCH LIST” is Angel Ortiz who boxes out of Worcester Boys and Girls Club.

In addition, on hand last night was professional boxer Jose Antonio Rivera of Worcester, Massachusetts. He was called to the center of the ring along with world renowned artist Frenchy. Frenchy was present during the event painting a boxing portrait to raise money for the winners of the New England Golden Gloves to travel to the nationals.

I would to send a special thanks to Jeffrey Freeman of KO Digest for making this trip possible.
