(UPDATE: Someone told me that JESUS GONZALEZ is reported to be the last man to beat Andre Ward...but I have read that he beat him in 1996...this fight with Revish, however, was in 1998...Ill check and see if anyone knows for sure, 100 proof positive)
SECOND UPDATE 9-26-12 8PM: UPDATE: Apparently Virgil Hunter says Jesus Gonzalez was the last one to beat Andre Ward as an amateur....so Ill assume that Revish was the second to last ....sorry for the mistake...
I've had this in my files for 14 years...this is the kind of stuff you see and the kind of people you see at amateur tournaments...February 7, 1998 at Lenexa, Kansas, National Silver Gloves tournament...The last time Andre Ward ever lost was at 132 pounds Intermediate JO to John Revish (it's off to the left, about halfway down on the page)....notice that Chad Dawson lost in the finals the same day, at 132 senior JO to Julio Perez (I was in his corner)...other kids who fought on this day include Nonito Donaire, Raushee Warren, Gary Russel (Warren and Russel are on the back side of this paper), Allen and Jason Litzau, Timothy Bradley and Curtis Stevens...my boxer Sammy Vega, pictured on the bottom right, won the national title at 106 senior JO...
