12.06.07 - By Wray Edwards: If Boxing is going to make a comeback as a mainstream popular sport in the United States, it will have to be managed by those who want to consolidate their influence rather than protect sacred cows named WBC, IBF, WBO, IBF, WBF and some state commissions. Home town Boxing such as we see in Philadelphia, New York, Miami, L.A., Chicago, Las Vegas and other cities has to be duplicated in smaller cities like Atlanta, St. Louis, Dallas, Tampa, and others. Also, when Boxing events are held in any city, the production values should be complimentary to the fans. That’s one reason I attended this weekend in Jacksonville, (where I live) Florida…to see what we were being offered this time.
This past weekend, Final Forum presented an evening of Boxing which had its ups and downs. Twelve eager young men stepped through the ropes in a series of matches and mismatches which thrilled and angered the crowd. There was a round card girls contest, a couple of passable fights and music, a lot of music. For some reason, a DJ was hired who filled every moment not devoted to Boxing or the contest, with the most dreadfully loud (can’t hear yourself think loud) rap music. It was the most oppressively irritating atmosphere of any venue I have ever experienced. There were, however, some boxing matches to watch. The main event was the WBF Intercontinental Heavyweight Championship between Ronald Bellamy and Derric Rossy. continue l
