Corey Moore, of the Main St Gym, became the 2011 14/15 yr old 100lb Champion. He will now advance to Wilmington N.C. for the Silver Gloves Regional Tournament. Corey Has been part of the Main St Gym for a number of years, but this years has really seen him turn on. He had a good win in November at the show held at the Main St Gym , and now this win which is the biggest accomplishment that Corey has experienced in boxing, to date. The icing on the cake was to beat an opponent that dominated Corey in their last meeting.
In two other bouts, Ivan Calixto lost a close bout in the 12/13 yr 100lb division, but did himself, his team and Coach Hal very proud as he gave it everything he had. Ivan works so hard and always give 100%. As he moves on in the sport of boxing, look for this kid to make some big waves.
Younger brother, Rudy Calixto stepped way up to battle the 2009 and 2010 National Silver Glove Champion in a very close loss. Both the crowd and a number of non-judging officials indicated a contradiction to the official decision, but it was close and in boxing, you take the decision and move on. The fact that a kid with just 8 bouts could put himself in that close of a fight against a top caliber opponent is a major accomplishment in itself.
