Yeah, there is a lot of history around that part of the country. I am old enough to remember Cus D'Amato on TV with the youngest undisputed heavyweight champion, Floyd Patterson. He was pretty close to 60 years old by that time.

kevin rooney? i didnt know that dude still trained!!! What happened to him post-tyson. Why doesn't he train any other pros? I knwo he worked with Vinnie Paz for a minute, but wtf, why no anyone else?!? Roooneys the man!

well he was workin with lenord pierre who went 18-3 and lost to pavlik but kevin was drinkin at the time and lenord wasnt worked with properly. kevin kevin is bringin up a welterweight now thats 12-2 jay krupp

[cusd'amatokid]

it's all good, dude. for what it's worth, it was probably the fight of the night.

based on the brief conversation my buddy and i had with lenord at that saratoga show, i'd say he's one of the nicest and realest dudes in the sport.

thanks, lenord is real great guy and works hard for us

Do you live in Catskill?
So,Rooney trains Krupp and that's it?
I mean Kruup lost against Serrano so his career is over.
Who are the promoters there Jake the snake Smith?
What about Joe Deguardia?

krupps the only pro kevins got at the moment, the rest in the gym are amateurs. im not sure who they're working with for promoters.

Cool man!I'm impressed Krupp didn't retire after his defeat against Raymond Serrano.

[Chr0nic]
