Big up ICE, nice to have you here, not read that much stuff about you but i remember BOXING MONTHLY and BOXING NEWS reporting stuff about you a few years back.
Nice to have someone on board who is so involved with so many names.

Chad

Chad might fight an african guy for the WBC International title soon. Clay-Bey might fight on ESPN and Ray Olivera might come back July 9. I also have a kid Joe Rhea that might fight at the end of May. So that mixed with all the sparring I like to keep doing, and I am a busy guy LOL But never too busy for you guys

Hey John, did a heavyweight named Ed Hardy train at your gym? I remember seeing him around at a gym in West Haven. Our coach was Gary. Ed had a fight at the NH Coliseum and stopped his opponent in the first round. After that fight he said he was going to train in Hartford (more people to spar with) which I now assume was your gym. I'm not sure if he still trains but boxrec.com has his last fight being November of 2000 so it's doubtful.

Sparring

Sparring Depends On Who The Boxer Is, Etc. Chad, For His Last Fight, I Only Had Him Spar 3 Trimes Total! And He Was In Great Condition. Some Other Guys Need To Spar More Than That, Much More. All Depends.

Ross Learned Boxing Stuff From Me At Times But All His Stuff In His Books Are What He Learned On His Own. He Put A Lot Of Time In To Learning All That Stuff. He Is Very Educated When It Comes To The Body, Nutrition And Conditioning Etc

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.

Tarick, Warren, Bronco, James and I all were fighting out of Galaxy at the same time. When I wa an amatuer James and I foguht together. Booker T and Kady were always down there working with me when I was young. Both of those guys are great people. I saw Theortice just the other day and he is speaking of dropping some weight and coming back to the ring, super nice guy. His sister is now serving her apprenticeship to start judging the amatuer bouts. Fabian and Roger were always fighting in the northern region of michigan so I never came acrossed them much except at tournys. Ed Kendall, not sure who that is.

I fought for a good while but walked away for different reasons. I am now reffing and judging in the amatuers and should be doing the pros before the end of the year. Maybe our paths will cross one day. Take care man until the do.........Rockin'

Galaxy

GALAXY is where I sparred JAMES AND BRONCO back when I was in camp with JT in 1993 for his fight with Hembrick. Maybe u were there then? I am stil in touch with Jackie ( I will pick her up from airport on thursday) , Tarik and Bronco.
