LOWELL, 质量. (三月 3, 2017) – Western New England won its fourth consecutive New England Tournament of Champions open class team title last night in the grand finale of the 71st annual Lowell Sun Charities Golden Gloves Championship, 在历史悠久的洛厄尔纪念剧院.

Western NE had seven individual winners to earn the Bill Hoar Memorial Award as the Most Outstanding Team. Northern New England finished second with three individual winners and Central New England had two.

“再次,” New England Golden Gloves Executive Director 鲍比·鲁索（Bobby Russo） 说, “it was a great tournament with so many good, competitive matches. We had the biggest crowd of the season turnout for the finals. The draw was done by computer, so the marches were nice and fair. I really liked the way these boxers were matched. The fans here in Lowell have been appreciated for a long time watching good fights and we plan to keep that rich tradition going.”

Western New England bantamweight Nathan Martinez, who defeated Joseph Valdez on points last night, was named the recipient of the Thomas Costello Memorial Award as the Most Outstanding Boxer.

Norther New England lightweight Liz Leddy won her sixth All-New England title with a close points win over Kelsay Kaiser, while three-time National Golden Gloves champion 拉希迪埃利斯 (新英格兰中部), 谁是否. 2 rated lightweight in the United States, took a decision against defending N.E. 冠军 Lyndsay Kyajohnian.

Western New England light heavyweight Elivis Figueroa captured his third All-New England crown. His teammate, 汉普顿米勒 (如下图所示), 停 肖恩·加布里埃尔 in the second round to win the Rocky Marciano Memorial Award as the Most Outstanding Heavyweight Boxer.

Last night’s open-class winners qualified to be members of Team New England at the National Golden Gloves Championships for men in Lafayette, 路易斯安那州 (五月) and women in Ft. 劳德代尔堡, 佛罗里达 (七月).

.

“New England will be sending a strong team to the National Golden Gloves,” Russo added. “We may only have three female boxers going to The Nationals, but each one of them have won national tournaments. Anyone of the male boxers on Team New England could win at The Nationals. I think Elvis (菲格罗亚), Yarmarco (古斯曼) 和 Josnie升 (卡斯特罗). I will offer the Team New England head coaching position to 路易斯·罗萨 from the winning Western New England team. We’ll also be brining Carlos Garcia (veteran coach from Worcester), who will be inducted into the National Golden Gloves Hall of Fame.)

Proceeds from the Lowell Sun Charities Golden Gloves Championship went towards sending the New England Golden Gloves champions to the National Golden Gloves Championship, 除了支持本地运动员和地区的体育场馆, 男孩 & 女孩俱乐部, 汤厨房, 无家可归者收容所, 癌症基金, 奖学金和许多其他重大慈善事业.
