Brandon Boxing Event: "Back to School Brawl"
9/28/2008 at 5:33 PM
First of all, I just wanted to say thanks to the Brandon Boxing Club for putting on an amazing event last night. The crowd was electric and the fights were great as I enjoyed them tremendously.
A hightlight for myself was the very beginning after the M.C for the evening (Mike Waddell) had sang "Oh Canada" and immediately after, the anthem for El Salvador was played via recording for one of the El Salvadorian fighters from the Brandon Boxing Club who was competing and to my surprise the crowd erupted in singing, as there was a very large turnout from the El Salvadorian community from Brandon in attendance. Kudos to them and their families for making this event one with some International flair and pride as it truly kicked off the evening well, in my opinion.
Congrats to all the fighters from Brandon and to those whom travelled to compete and watch this event. I would definitely deem it as a huge success for the Boxing Community and its fans. I look forward to more Boxing Cards returning to Brandon to a sell-out, standing room only crowd like last night!!
