Canadian Boxing - 2014 Final Team Selection

FINDING THE 2014 A TEAM by Brian Zelley

As expected the featherweight and lightweight senior open divisions
or the 56kg and 60kg classes will have some interesting potential results,

For the featherweights, it will be some old familiar names:
Francois Pratte *****  Rodolpho Velasques
Kenny Lally  *********  Julio Escorcia

The Lighweights 
Based on the 2013 Canadian Golden Gloves,
and the 2014 Elite Men's Nationals, there 
is no one standout, any thing can happen
when the opening bell rings:

David Gauthier, Lucas Badhi, 
Alex Rynn and Brad Katona
Lucas is the youngest boxer in
this group and is trained by one
of our top all time boxers:
Billy Irwin.

                        Billy Irwin and some boxers
                    including Lucas, Josh and Gabe

The Women Boxing

It should be no surprise but the hot story

will be another bout between

Ariane Fortin vs Mary Spencer

 

The First Round of Action - Day 1

 

Well for the first evening of action

there were some surprises

and then the announcement

by Boxing Canada

that 2 A-Team member were out

BC's Kenny Lally took a pass, and

Nova Scotia's Custio Clayton was

out with a wrist injury.

 

And, for other A - team members

and Canadian champions all did not

go has planned.

 

Both Alex Rynn and Yves Ulysse

lost in their prelim bouts.
