Fighting Words

"The Local Scene"

Cuerus is about B O X I N G. Pure and simple. As a boxing fan and watcher of the major fights, I had mentioned that we wanted to spearhead the idea of covering local boxing at every level. I had a chance to attend my first Windy City Fight Night (#15) and greatly enjoyed the evening. I am looking forward to diving into the local scene even more after meeting some great up-and-coming fighters and to produce features and interviews for the paper and online.

I am writing an article for inclusion on our www.facebook.com/cuerus page online but wanted to mention that I plan on making this the first of many visits to the UIC Pavilion (where the Windy City Fight Night cards are usually hosted). It was exciting to see live boxing presented in a well-produced way. My hats off to the boxers that participated that night.

We can't forget that the annual Golden Gloves tournament is getting ready to start also. For true fight fans, we should support this next generation of boxers coming up. Let's check out these fights! You may be getting your first look at a champion in the making!
