My last column mentioned the boxing events that were coming up in the Chicago area. All reports from people that attended these events is that a good time was had by all and that boxing was really enjoying a few weeks of prime coverage and fights. It is testament to the fact that with support at the local level, we are showing that the sport is not dead.
Chicago Fight Club Promotion LLC put on their Chicago Fight Night event on March 25th. All reports indicate that the venue (Hanging Gardens Banquet) was a great place for the fights. We were fortunate to have a talented photographer by the name of George Henry attending and snapping away. His photos are being featured in this issue and to see more of his work, make sure to check out links to his work on our web page at www.cuerusboxing.com. A special thanks to CFC Promotion LLC & Richard Spilotro of Chicago Boxing News for getting us in to the fights.
Hitz Boxing invited me to come down to their Fight Night @ The Venue. Located in the Horseshoe Casino in Hammond Indiana, The Venue was a great place to see the fights and the atmosphere makes you feel like you have a touch of Vegas here in the Midwest. A very special thanks to Bobby Hitz & Renee with the Hitz Boxing staff. Make sure to check bookmark your calendar for the next fight night May 18! Visit www.hitzboxing.com.
Though we did not have a chance to be at the 8 Count Productions Windy City Fight Night on April 1st, we know that Jeremias Correa (feautred a couple of issues ago) won his second professional fight. Congrats! He is a focused fighter and I look forward to seeing him in action next time.
Make sure to also check feature stories under my www.boxingallmedia.com where I talk about some of the articles that I write about for Cuerus Boxing News. I have a piece coming up on two of our contributors, Rob Aguilar and George Jimenez. Plus, there is a special piece on my experiences at Hitz Boxing's Fight Night. Lastly, on schedule to be featured is Cuerus Boxing News itself! An brief introduction to our paper and sharing some of our great cover designs.
On to some current events:
You may have noticed that CFC Promotion LLC has also been featured in our last few issues in pieces written by a new contributor, Johnny Bellino. I know that local area fight fans will recognize Johnny from coverage that he has provided via a public cable show in the area and through his other activities. We welcome Johnny into the fold and hope you enjoy his fantastic writing style.
I wanted to also give local boxing fans some preliminary info on Mike J. Cericola's "Round 3" fights to be held at the El Rey Ballroom (3504 S. Western Avenue, Chicago). The date for these matches is set for Friday May 13, 2011. For more information and tickets, call 773 841-7350.
