    Kronk Gym is still open. They moved from the old run down building into some new digs in a different part of Detroit. I have a few kids who train and fight there. One of my 10 year olds is undefeated. Andre Dirrell and Arthur Abraham both stop in and trained a lil bit for the cameras before there fight last yr.

    Im sure he does every blue moon. Tommy Hearns is very visible around the Detroit area. I had lunch a few months ago and i look over at the booth in front of me and its Tommy Hearns having lunch with a friend.
