Contender

[Kid Achilles]

He certainly did. I know for a fact because I saw him fight live back in 2001 at the New Haven Coliseum. His opponent was a taller, naturally bigger guy named Ernest Mateen. He lost a UD to him but John was passed his prime.

He's really John scully?The trainer of Bad Chad Dawson?

[Kid Achilles]

Yeah. Chad Dawson is a local fighter here. Fights out of New Haven. There was an article on him in the New Haven Register a few years ago, which is unusual because boxing rarely makes the town paper.

I know i've seen him fight about three times.He's got a lot of potential.

Hey John,

You fought two guys that I know. Brett Lally used to come to our gym and spar with me when I was a beginning amatuer. He ofcourse took it easy on me. Not much technical skill out of Brett but the guy just has so much heart. Also Cleveland Nelson is a guy I know. Fought him in the Detroit are Golden Gloves finals in Michigan, at 147. Nice to have you on the scene...........Rockin'

Hey John

I heard lots about u and read some really cool articles about you. I hear your a great trainer with lots of knowledge of the game...I heard lots about you from Ross Enamit, you work with Ross? BTW nice to meet you man

[marvdave]

Iceman..nice to have you on BS. I've seen you fight. As far as the contender goes, I'm not a fan of the show. I am however happy it is doing well. Any reason to get more people watching Boxing is ok by me. I hate reality shows in general. The drama ,etc is too much for me. I just like to watch fights.

[BoxingHound]

I love the show. I was afraid it was going to be like The Next Great Champ...boy I was wrong. My wife even loves it. She cries during some point in every episode. She thinks that Gomez is going to win.

[ICEMAN JOHN SCULLY]

Yes

Yes, I have had 49 professional fights.

[ICEMAN JOHN SCULLY]

yes

Yes, I am the trainer for Chad dawson, Larence Clay-Bey, Joe Rhea and now Ray Olivera. WOW, u were there when I fought Mateen? He was HUGE LOL I weighed in OFFICIALLY at only 177 pounds andhe weighed officially at 198!! By the time we fought the next night he was at least 212 and I was still about 179 or 180. It was CRAZY. LOL I came on at the end but his strength took an early lead over me. I came right back exactly two months later and beat Cleveland Nelson ou of Detroit. To the guy that knows Cleveland, he was a pretty good fighter and the boxing world is small... way back in 1987 I won the Ohio State Fair at 165 in the open division and Cleveland fought in the same tournament as a JO and lost in the 139 pound finals to Ravea Springs. Small world. I also know other Michigan guys u might know...Wilie Sith, Tarik Salmaci, Warren Jackson, Bronco, J. Toney, Booker Word, Ed Kendall, Fabian Williams, Roger Turner, Theotrice Chambers and others. Kady King, too.
