thanks for the reply, this place has been kinda dead recently. Anyway, im not new to this site, Ive been visiting it weekly for a couple of years now i just made a new username today because i cant remember the password for my old one (bigge233).


I caught Jantony Ortiz's first fight and was blown away by the kids skill. I didnt follow up on him though and im surprised to hear that he lost.

Anyway i hope it does bounce back but at this rate it doesn't look good. In 2008 i felt like we had a chance at gold with Russell Jr. but he had a mishaps which resulted in him not fighting at all.

As for my opinion on the decline, i feel as if interesting in the sport as a whole is declining and that is hurting team USA. Things such as bad decisions, greedy promoters, mismanagement of fighters, other sports such as UFC coming up, and a few other things i cant remember at the moment have killed peoples interests in the sport and team USA's boxing team reflects that.

Anyway, im happy to be back in the suddoboxiing community and ill try to get more involved in the forums than i have in the past. I could talk boxing all day, lol
