Landover MD. Calixto duo Champs

In the third week of the the Maryland/DC Golden Gloves, Main St Gym came away with two Champions. Brothers Ivan Calixto and Rudy Calixto were crowned 2013 Golden Gloves Champs after Ivan won the 119lb 14yr-15 yr division by walkover after his opponent failed appear in the ring after making weight. “Ivan was prepared for this Championship bout and we were wrapped, gloved and heading to the ring, when the loudspeaker called me to the judges table to tell me that our opponent was gone. It was a real let down for Ivan who wanted so badly to take the test. “ said Coach Hal Chernoff. Ivan is getting a reputation for his skills, speed and power. I can’t say why his opponent wasn’t there, al I can say is that he was and he was ready to do battle.

Younger brother Rudy Calixto had to put in three hard rounds of fighting to get his well deserved win against Cornell Gray of Kennilworth Boxing in DC. “Rudy was very impressive on a number of levels, he listened well to instructions then executed them to land clean punches while evading his opponents offenses.” said Coach Chernoff.

“It’s in the book now, no matter what happens in their lives, no one can take the 2013 Golden Gloves Championship from them. They earned it , they own it and we are all very proud of them” He added

Other Main St Gym boxes feel just short of the the number one spot including 9 year old Erick Acosta. In a very close bout against Mohammed Robinson of UMAR Boxing. The fight, that was virtually a coin toss garnered Acosta the Silver Medal for 2013.

Kobe Moore lost by decision against Donte Baypop of No Excuse Boxing, to take home the Silver. Brother Corey Moore also had to settle for the Silver after his Championship loss last week.

Open Class 152lb boxer Shawn Woodford lost on points in his preliminary bout Saturday night finishing Main St Gym’s participation in this years 2013 Golden Gloves. The final count was 2 gold medals and 3 silvers.
