The 2014 SC Golden Gloves was held Saturday,
March 15, 2014 hosted by Billy Stanick at the White Rock Boxing Gym.
We had an outstanding event with standing room only, and the fans
really enjoyed the 16 bouts!
None of this could have taken place without
all of the help received from our outstanding volunteers and
sponsors. We would like to give a special thanks to Dr. Tom Moore
who completed 47 physicals the day of the event!
We would also like to thank Natasha Powell,
our event photographer, who captured some great photos and memories
for all of the fighters. Daniel “DP” Powell, 2 times SC
Golden Gloves Champion, 2010 and 2011, and 8-0 as a professional
boxer, helped work the corners and helped us prepare the gym for the
event.
Special thanks must also be given to the
following people who brought this event together:
Bobby Parker and
his wife, Jackie Lynn Jernigan matched the bouts for the
show, coordinated with all of the participants and really ran boxing
side of the event for me! I could not have done this without them.
Melissa Kimball
provided us with unlimited assistance throughout the event,
Melissa’s sister, Shawn Darby worked the door and ticket
sales, and Heather Hildebrand managed the concessions for us
during the event. Jimmy Kokolis, owner of Zorba’s at Seven
Oaks Shopping Center, donated the pizzas which went like hotcakes,
and Bobby Cripps, owner of Kwik Way Convenience Stores,
donated the best hot dog chili in town!
Matt Smith and
his crew handled all of the parking making it a smooth and seamless
process.
And of course, I must thank the USA Boxing
Officials who came to preside over the event. USA Boxing officials
present were: Nikki Messer, John Henry Lewellen and
Teresa Mott!
We cannot thank you all enough for making this
the best South Carolina Golden Gloves Championship yet!
