Words cannot express how very sad we are from the Loss of our dear friend Billy Sharpe. All those that knew Bill clearly understand what an inspiration he was to us and the impact he made on our lives and the boxing world. His strength and power stood out in such a way that was truly unforgettable to us. He was a leader amongst leaders, never wavering from his dedication of doing whatever he could to support children and young adults in our amateur boxing program. The boxing world is forever indebted to you. I join with so many others who knew Bill in offering our deepest sympathy on his passing. Although it is little consolation at this sad time, it should be of some...More

After over 100 amateur bouts and several championships to his credit, 17-year-old De`Andre Robinson-Neal of Columbia SC has decided to take his talents to the next level. De`Andre has signed an exclusive promotional contract with Palmetto Boxing Promotions LLC of Columbia, South Carolina. De`Andre’s father, Dominic Robinson Neal, a retired undefeated pro boxer, says “It’s time to move to the next level, “De`Andre has done all he desires to do as an amateur boxer. He feels he is stagnant now. He can’t get fights anymore. He’s reduced to doing exhibitions on local pro shows just to get some kind of ring work. It was his desire to go pro. My job as his father, coach, manager and confidant is to support him and make sure he is successful in whatever he wants to do. For the record, I think he is more than ready to move to the next level.” Palmetto Boxing Promotions echoes the father’s sentiments saying “We are proud to have such a talented young fighter as De’Andre as a part of our stable. This is just a continuation of our relationship with him and his family that started when he was just 9 years old. To see his progression...Full Story

Chris the “Irish Ghost” Fitzpatrick put on a spectacular display of boxing skills as he methodically outboxed Scott “Cujo” Sigmon over 10 rounds, Saturday, July 16, 2011 at the Greensboro Coliseum in North Carolina. Fitzpatrick came out with a determination in his eyes that we’ve never seen before. At the end of round one, it was clear to all that it was going to be a long night for the very outspoken Scott Sigmon. Fitzpatrick dominated in the beginning with a sharp jab, and he never looked back. Sigmon had his moments during the fight, but they were far and few between as the scores reflect. 97-93, 97-93, and a very controversial 95-95. With the win, Fitzpatrick moves to 14-0 and Sigmon falls to a very respectable 16-3. Fitzpatrick emerged as the new UNBC Super Middleweight Champion.

Chris “The Irish Ghost Fitzpatrick” will finally get the chance to quiet the self proclaimed middleweight/ super middleweight/light heavyweight/cruiserweight, Forest County Champion, Scott “David Haye” Sigmon’s mouth. On July 16, 2011 Fitzpatrick (13-0-0, 5 KOs) from Columbia, South Carolina will meet Sigmon (16-2 no real ko’s) of Forest, Virginia in a 10 round main event fight at the Greensboro Coliseum Special Events Center in Greensboro, North Carolina. Fitzpatrick understands he will be taking a major step backwards when he steps in the ring with Sigmon, but since he doesn’t have anything planned for the month of July he decided to use Sigmon as a tune-up before his next fight. Our only hope is that Sigmon has developed enough boxing skills over the last couple of months so he at the least looks like a fighter when he gets into the ring, and not the usual amateur toughman fighter we’re accustomed to seeing when he fights. In any event it should still be entertaining. Watching Sigmon eat crow after the fight will be worth every bit of the admission price. On the other hand we truly expect Sigmon to come up with a broken pinky toe excuse to justify why he took such a beating. Enough with all the junk talking. On a serious note, if you really want to see two legitimate prospects showcasing their talents on July 16th, don’t miss Chris “The Irish Ghost” Fitzpatrick and Lamar Russ who will be fighting on the undercard. The show will also be streamed live on Go Fight Live for $9.99.
Native New Yorkers Luis Collazo, Mike Ruiz and Rafael Vazquez thrilled a packed house that included former world champions Paulie “Magic Man” Malignaggi and Iran “The Blade” Barkley at the Oceana Hall in Coney Island, Brooklyn in separate bouts on Wednesday night, each scoring decisive victories over their opponents. Former WBA welterweight champion Luis Collazo (31-4, 16 KOs) made a successful return to the ring, knocking out journeyman Franklin Gonazalez (13-9, 10 KOs) after only 3 rounds. Collazo (152lbs), fighting at junior middleweight after a two year absence, could not miss, dropping Franklin (151lbs) with a straight left hand at the end of round 2 and twice in round 3 from sharp left uppercuts. Referee Benji Esteves stopped the fight after a well placed left uppercut to the body dropped Gonzalez..Full Story
The Gaffney Boxing team traveled to Warrenville South Carolina the home of The North Augusta Boxing Team, to compete in the 2011 Pal Boxing Matches. We went down hoping to get several of our kids matched up, but only had 3 matches out of 8, we can deal with that when the 3 that did have a match won. JoJo Littlejohn started the night out for us when the referee stopped the match after JoJo landed several combinations that ended with a hard left hook dropping his opponent to the canvas early in the second round. Next up was Angel Lopez, this was a very tough match but after the third round Angel got the win, by decision. Next up was Kanard Lipscomb, that was matched up to an opponent he had met in the ring earlier this year. I told Kanard that he better be ready because his opponent would be pushing for the win and I was right. Kanard was very impressive and got the win then and was successful again, K K Price, Brandon Sinex, Kama Sagar, Cody Sagar and Sontos Lopez all were ready but did not have a match in their prospective weight classes. We have a great team and work very hard to be successful. If you have not came to one of our matches you owe it to yourself to watch these young boxers give it all they have in this tough sport.
