“There were some great fights, hotly contested because there was so much on the line,” N. Och. Executive Director Bobby Russo sa. “We closed the season in grand style with great matches and a loud, packed house that’s been the Lowell tradition for 72 år. There were some disputed decisions and the crowd let everybody know how they felt after a few of the fights.
“We have a lot of talent on this year’s Team New England. It’s a strong team with some fighters who now have national experience like Angel Gonzalez, Felix Parilla, Liz Leddy, Miguel Teo and Fernely Felix, Jr. The other fighters look like they could do very well at the National Golden Gloves.”
