SIX DAYS and counting - As the big tournament approaches there are a share of pre-competition stories appearing in the various local newspapers. Two recent ones were in the "Goldstream Gazette" with a focus on "Golden Gloves Dreams" and another in the University of Victoria's "The Marlett" paper
with a focus on one women boxer on a mission.
Life is full of hopes, dreams and anticipation for some coming event,
for many there is that slow build-up of nervous tension as one moves closer to the opening bell then the real "moment of truth" begins after the gloves are touched and the opening bell rings.
And when it comes to picking the "Golden Boy" and "Golden Girl", the pressure falls on the shoulders of those charged with the selection and often it is not an easy process to sort out all of the variables that determine the points that will cement the big awards.![]()

1975 BC GOLDEN GLOVES
Two of the interesting stories are focused on JIMMY MACMILLAN and GORDIE LAWSON.
Jimmy made a comeback after about 8 years and ended up earning the Golden Boy runner-up award. And, Gordie was the only boxer, in the two day tournament,
to score a clean knockout when his opponent was on the deck for over a minute.

The Future of the Canadian Golden Gloves
Although the idea of a Canadian Golden Gloves was created
back in 1946 by William (Billy) Finlay of the Vancouver Sun,
the decision by BOXING CANADA to sponsor the 2013
initial Golden Gloves tournament at Cornwall in July did
not have much to do with "Billy's Dream"
When we look back in 2020 with clear vision, 2013 will
be one of those important critical points in the long history
of the sport of boxing in Canada. Hopefully, in year seven
or year six, there will be an impressive history of the
first five or six years and the champions will likely include
some that are not even boxing in 2013.![]()

The first day of action in the CANADIAN GOLDEN GLOVES is now history but there
will be more action on July 18th. One of the quality divisions is the men's
senior open lightweight division. Two of the expected starts to win their opening
bouts were BRAD KATONA of Manitoba and JAG SEEHRA of British Columbia.![]()
