**Quick Updates** |
In Weeks to come, we will be adding a new addition to our website. The new tab, “A Ring of Our Own” is dedicated to all the woman boxers out there. Here at MAA Boxing we realize that it is very hard for women to find other women to make a bout. Therefore we are dedicating this portion of the website to allow women to post their Height, Weight, age, and when and where they are looking to box. We will then post that on the site so other woman can find you. Consider it a central communication tool for woman boxers only!! Our goal is to expand this page strictly for Women. If you have questions or comments, please let us know what we can add or how to improve it.
Thanks and please give us feed back!

THE FIRST USA BOXING OLYMPIC INVITATIONAL IS CONTESTED IN BRIDGEPORT
( May 12, 2008)
(BRIDGEPORT, CONN.) – The first-ever USA Boxing Olympic Invitational took place on Friday night at the Arena at Harbor Yard in Bridgeport, Conn., with several Olympians from the United States, China and Brazil facing off in one of the final competitions before the 2008 Olympics.
A national feature bout opened the competition with 2008 National Champion Luis Arias (Milwaukee, Wis.) taking on 2007 National Golden Gloves champion Shawn Porter (Stow, Ohio) in the opening bout of the evening’s action. An injury to Porter prevented the two from boxing in the finals of the 2008 U.S. Future Stars National Championship but they both stepped through the ropes on Saturday night. It was Arias coming out with the victory, winning a 3-0 decision on paper scoring.

USA vs. Puerto Rico World Duel Results
NYC’s Sadam Ali Wins
By Bobby Breen
(April 29, 2008)
USA-Boxing had an International World Duel night of competition at Temple University’s Liacouras Athletic Center in Philadelphia, PA. on Saturday April 26th. Broadcast live on Philadelphia channel CN8, the show had eleven bouts with several 2008 Olympians competing.
Brooklyn’s own Sadam Ali, a 132 lb. 2008 Olympic Boxing team member won by decision in his bout over Puerto Rico’s Reynaldo Ojeda. Ali looked sharp and crisp boxing well on the out and inside. Ali demonstrated just a bit more speed over the dead game Ojeda. With a home town crowd who traveled down from Brooklyn to cheer him on, Ali pleased the crowd and his Olympic Team coaches with a very clear and convincing performance as he conducts his final preparation for the 2008 Summer Olympic Games in Beijing, China this coming August. Ali is the first NY Boxing Olympian since Riddick Bowe ’88 and Mark Breland ’84.
