At my past reunions, including the most recent one held at the Rival Boxing Store in Las Vegas on Novembre 18, we’ve had the likes of Roy Jones Jr., Alex “Le bombardier Bronx” Ramos, 1992 Olympian Montell Griffin, former three time world champions Mike McCallum and Iran Barkley, et “Le combattant” and Irish Micky Ward in attendance.
Among the most special of moments at my reunions, we had Mike McCallum and Alex Ramos, who met each other in the semi-finals of the 1980 NYC Golden Gloves, reconnect in Las Vegas in late 2014, we had Luis Ortiz and Lawrence Clay-Bey, who were brought together in 2015 at Foxwoods after not only not seeing each other in 38 YEARS but after not even knowing they fought against each other in 1977 until just a few days before they reunited and in NYC over the summer of 2015 nous avons eu 1984 New York City Golden Gloves 156 pound champion and runner up Dennis “Le magicien” Milton and Jesse Lanton connect once again.
