I found out today about a signing in NYC with the whole team and coaching squad. It was the ****. I got a signed poster from everyone. Everyone was really cool. Deontay and Rau'shee were both rockin' 3 piece suits and custom grilles - haha. Sadam was fashionably late to the signing. I wish these boys the best in Beijing and will be rooting for them all the way!

I have already mentioned BK's own Sadam 'World Kid' Ali at Lightweight- a Gold hopeful this year- in a previous post. If you haven't yet, check him out on youtube. He's a beast.

Today, I've been checking out our Flyweight's videos after my brother told me that he was his favorite dude on the squad. Rau'shee Warren is widely believed to be one of the US's best prospects for Gold. He was the youngest Olympian in Athens at 17, but didn't have the experience to match his unbelievable skills. He opted not to go pro and make another run for it.... Now he has the total package. Look out for Rau'shee Warren!

The TEAM:

Rau'shee Warren - Flyweight (112)
Gary Russell, Jr. - Bantamweight
Raynell Williams - Featherweight (125)
Sadam Ali - Lightweight (132) [Brooklyn]
Javier Molina - Junior Welterweight (141)
Demetrius Andrade - Welterweight
Shawn Estrada - Middleweight (165 - my weight class) [Cali]
Deontay Wilder - Heavyweight (201)

Coaches:
Dan Campbell - Head Coach
Willy Price - Asst Coach (Defense)
Robert Martin - Asst Coach

GO USA!!!

Good looking out, bud. I'm lazy right now, but do you know which of the 80 damn channels will be covering it the most?

Very cool man, any pictures??

aushee Warren and Andrade are really the only good chances for gold.
i wish there were more, but these guys are proven at the world level.

unfortunately not. all i had was my corny disposable, but it was kinda like a move em on down the line kinda thing and i didn't wanna hold it all up taking shots with everyone. I was hoping Zab Judah or some other BK or NYC-based fighters would show up to support the squad but no such luck... I'd a definately hounded Supah for a picture.

I also met some USA Boxing higher ups and Jimmy O who trains Dmitry Salita, the undefeated ***ish prospect. Dmitry is promoted by Roy Jones's square ring and will be the co feature of the calzaghe-jones bout according to jimmy o. Im about to make a thread about it...

andrade is the real deal. that kid should get gold at 152, but regardless of how he does in the olympics he's gonna be making some serious dough when he turns pro.

**mspiegelo** · 07-10-2008, 08:16 PM

he signed my poster as: 'Demetrius Andrade- World Champion'
