The Grand Opening
This was a night to remember for Summerville Boxing Team and all USA Boxing members. The ribbon cutting was performed by SFC Shoemaker (Summerville Recruiting NCOIC), Jim Kelley (Kelley Promotions), and Johnny Lewellen (Head coach Summerville Boxing Team). We would like to thank all the gyms that came to our Grand Opening. Teams from far away and in state came, and with them followed a group of champions. If it was in our hands, everyone that came would have received a trophy. We can give you a big hand shake and a grateful thank you. Below is list the contest that took place.
Zebby Bookman Defeated Jason Evens by Decision
D’Andra Pope Defeated Christopher Diaz by Decision
Lee Hasson Defeated Ronald Gore by Referee Stops Contest
Andrew Manzella Defeated Steven Smith by Decision
Esan Eatman Defeated James Carson by Referee Stops Contest
Lamar Shaw Defeated Terrell Hill by Referee Stops Contest
David Russell and Steward Simpson Push
De’Andre Robinson Neal Defeated DeShawn Hawkinson by Decision
Tim Hunter Defeated Xavier Scott by Decision
Gifford Hurt Defeated Kadeem McNeill by Decision
Leon Alejandro Defeated Armarbir Bakhshi by Decision
William Pope Defeated Edwardo Lopez by Decision
Coy Lambert Defeated Harrell Kristofer by Decision (Best Contest of the Night)
The night was full of excitement as the band played before the ribbon cutting. We did not have a head count but cars were parked all the way into Summerville High School parking lot. Every chair had a person in it and no one was leaving until the last trophy was handed out. The fire works went off with a bang. The United States Army set up a rock climbing wall for all to try. Low Country Mazda gave out tickets to the River Dogs, House of Blues, and Mazda Carovana Shirts along with mini beach balls. The band played for a few hours and they were good. It seems to me that everyone there had a good time. The photo page and video page will be updated soon.
The next event that Summerville Boxing Team will host is the Titanium Glove Championship. Come back to the web page for dates on this large event.
