    It's just like a normal amateur fight except it's a little more hardcore. Basically there are no weight classes, the fights go on until a ko occurs or one fighter retires. No gloves either, but what they'll do it wrap your hands up like normal, then dip them in resin and then into a basin of ground glass. You can really eff someone up with those, so have fun!

    Um...I've fought in the Golden Gloves before, although not in TX. There is no division called "all comers". Have you had any fights yet?

    If you have 1-2 fights you can't enter open. Houston is such a populated area they usually have a sub-novice class for people with less than 5 fights.

    It sounds like it may be a name of a show. You should really ask your coach about what it is...I'd think he must know...
