In the first week of the Silver Glove's amateur boxing tounament, Corey Moore, of Salisbury, picked up a well deserved win in the 14-15 year old 100lb. division, against a game Dimetrius Young of Sugar Ray Leonard's gym in Landover MD.

The tournament is being held at the Rosecroft Raceway in Oxon Hill MD. and will move into it's second week on December 17th.

The tournament,originally scheduled to run on December 10th, was rescheduled to accommodate so many close ties to the title fight between Lamont Peterson, of D.C and Amir Kahn of the U.K. Other local fighters on that card include Salisbury's Fernando Guerrero, Anthony Peterson, of D.C, Seth Mitchell of Brandywine MD. and Dusty Harrison of D.C. and others.
