Lowell, Misa. (Pebrero 16, 2018) – Fourteen novice division champions were crowned at last night’s championship finals of the New England Tournament of Champions, part of the 72nd annual New England Golden Gloves Championships, last night at historic Lowell Memorial Auditorium.

Western New England captured top honors in team standings with eight individual winners, followed by Central New England (5), Northern New England (1) and Southern New England (0).

East Walpole bantamweight Noelle Boran was named Most Outstanding Boxer.

The action shifts next week, Miyerkules ug Huwebes evenings, sa tinagsa, to the semifinals and finals of the New England Tournament of Champions at Lowell Memorial Auditorium. Tan-awa ang bug-os nga 2018 eskedyul sa mga panghitabo sa ubos ingon man sa bug-os nga mga resulta sa miaging gabii.

“It was very difficult to select the Most Outstanding Boxer because there were five who could have won,” N. Ug. Executive Director Bobby Russo miingon. Noelle won but Nelson Perez, Shane Jordan, Kate Zahr ug Jessie Batanda were all in the running. We had some great bouts and surprisingly good talent for the novice division.

“I’m really looking forward to next week’s All-New England open division semifinals and championship finals. People should buy tickets in advance, so they don’t get caught in long lines and miss some early bouts. We’re expecting large crowds both night.”

Tiket magsugod sa $18.00, lamang $7.00 alang sa mga estudyante (ID gikinahanglan) and are available to purchase by calling the Lowell Memorial Auditorium box office at 1.866.722.8881 or ordering online at www.lowellauditorium.com. Buy tickets early to avoid long lines the night of the show..
