Boxing: November 8 at the Sherman Theatre

 

Action at ringside with Brian Pedone, Ahemo Ninji-Harris, Lucas Robinson, Danny Sandoz and the referee....

Josh and Miguel Sandoz in Training for Nov 8

 

Josh works out hard and works out often. Here he assists Miguel Sandoz on the punch mitts. Miguel is looking forward to win number 2. Miguel won his first match this past July at the Allentown Sportsfest event.

Meanwhile, Josh is a quick, strong kid, and no one except his mom and dad know how old (actually, young) he is. He's a student of the sport, moves well in the ring, and punches with authority. One of the things people don't realize about boxing is that boxers who do well in school also do well in the boxing ring. The same learning skills are involved, plus one or two more. Josh is proof of it--come take a look on November 8.

Brianne, Christi, and Danielle

 

Asin many other areas, it's sometimes more difficult for women. In amateur boxing, it's sometimes difficult to find match-ups for women simply because there are fewer of them. We're hoping to have a match-up for Danielle (in black pants, white shirt) but it's never assured. Brianne (in reddish shirt) is instrumental in producing the November 8 boxing show at the Sherman theatre. She's co-organizer of the event and works in publicity and--oh, yeah--she boxes, too. Christi (pictured working the speed bag) is a newcomer to boxing and will not be boxing. Not yet, anyway. She's a well-conditioned athlete who punches harder than you'd believe. She'll lump you up, son, and I ain't lyin'.

Jordan Demko: The Storm is Building

 

Meet Jordan Demko. A straight "A" student at East Stroudsburg University, Jordan will be fighting at 165 pounds on November 8 at the Sherman Theatre in Stroudsburg. Quiet and self-contained, Jordan is a disciplined athlete who boxes with an all-out intensity. Don't bet on the other guy.

Among the professional fighters he admires, Jordan cites Antonio Margarito and Kelly Pavlik as two of his favorites. Pavlik's from Ohio and so is the retired fighter at the top of Jordan's list: Ray "Boom-Boom" Mancini.

Boxer Vaughn Edwards: Run Silent, Run Deep

 





















Vaughn Edwards is one of the boxers scheduled to make a first appearance on the November 8 USA Amateur Boxing Matches at the Sherman Theatre in Stroudsburg, PA. Vaughn is quiet, and an A student at East Stroudsburg High School. Don't let the polite, thoughtful manner lull you--Vaughn has gotten in touch with his "inner beast", and will be firing long-range rockets inside the boxing ring.
