Saturday November 28, 2015, boxing event at the Must Fight Boxing Club in Chester, PA: File this one under “No way, get outta here!” When I planned to attend the boxing extravaganza at the Must Fight Boxing Club, I had no idea I would run into relatives and that one of them was a boxer. Nice surprise. In the five bouts, first up was Ed Brown AKA “Down town Eddie Brown” 6’0 185lbs Chester, PA vs. Chris Liccone 5’9 170lbs Morrisville, PA. Not a bad job by both boxers. You can see this on video Here. The second bout included Chester High School senior Quadir Albright vs. David Calabro which can also be seen by video clip Here. Other bouts featured: Bout 3, Julous Duncon vs. Dave Finilli; Bout 4, Antonio Tabitia vs. Dave Bonovia; and Bout 5, Dan Mullarkey vs. Gregory Jackson. These bouts were in honor of the latest Rocky movie, CREED, which opened for Thanksgiving. I think Sylvester Stallone should have had his movie premiere here since the gym was used in the movie. Former boxer Chris Ellison who played a referee in the CREED movie did attend this event. “All net proceeds provide help for young people to develop skills necessary to participate in Golden Gloves of America boxing tournaments.”
