    :roll: How many times have you been to Philly?

    So Joe's isn't going to be near Temple anymore? Let me ask around, I'm in the same USA Boxing region as Philly so maybe some of my people will know some good gyms up there.

    I'm from Northeast Philly so all the gyms that I know of are kinda far south of me. Harrowgate was a place I'd really like to go to, but my car recently took a crap on me so its a little far for me for right now.

    This isn't the 60's and 70's anymore. It's as much a place as any big city in the US. Actually, the USA Boxing region that Philly is part of (Region 2-East Central) was more heavily represented by boxers from the Washington DC area.

    Anyone know a good place in Philly to watch a fight? I know that recently there was a fight in a place called the arena, but is there a place that holds events weekly?
