back yesterday evening from the finals. Both my fighters took 2nd place. My son was stopped on a bloody nose, of all things, though he had his opponent on the ropes and was hurting him. But other fighters were stopped on bloody noses, so I can't complain.

My super heavyweight went against the defending champion in his home town. He definitely won the first two rounds, and lost the third. But a 5-4 split decision went to the home town fighter. The crowd, and even the guy's corner men, knew my fighter won. But that's how the sport goes.

We'll be fighting about once per month from May to the end of the year, then back to the NYS Golden Gloves in 2019.

I think that Joshua showed both skills and weaknesses in the Parker fight. I would slightly favor Wilder at this point. I'm not big on Povetkin, due to the repeated PED violations. But, if he stays clean, he'd have a shot at winning, though I'd favor Anthony.
