Global Legacy Boxing - Fight for the Falls

I finally got out to my first  Global Legacy Boxing event: Fight for the Falls. It took place in Niagara Falls, close to where I grew up. The event took place at the Scotiabank Convention Centre. I had only met a couple of the boxers on the card and I was eager to meet some new people. The event was a sell out and had great production value. It was nice to see a lot of my boxing friends there.

Marko Szalai starts the night off with a bang with a brutal knock out. At one point it looked like his opponent's soul had been knocked out of the body, thankfully he is alright.

Ontario Boxing Hall of Fame - Inductions

I had a great time last night at the Ontario Boxing Hall of Fame induction ceremony. 9 fights including one epic KO and lots of great boxing people being inducted. I really like Egerton Marcus' speech where he encourage the different parties in Ontario Boxing to come together for the good of the athletes.

Present inductees included: Egerton Marcus, Steve Molitor, James Jardine, Donovan Boucher and Fitzroy Vanderpool.

It was a real pleasure seeing how the induction plaques turned out. The recipients seem to like them a lot.
