Kronk Gym revisited

Does anyone know the whereabouts of any of those fighters from Kronk Gym in the eighties? McCrory Brothers. Thomas Hearns, Micky Goodwin, Duane Thomas, Ect. There were alot of good quality fighters from there.

 

I know Hearns is alive and training his son. I saw Ronald's last fight, which ended in a TKO. What worried me was seeing Hearns walking a little slow.

 

Duane Thomas got shot and died

 

Duane was a good fighter, he handed Mugabi a hard loss which John always claimed was a thumb in the eye.... Duane got into trafficing substances and paid the ultimate price for his involvment.. Does anyone remember Aundrey Nelson too, he was a Kronk fighter who boxed Virgil Hill and was Moorers sparring partner.. Hilmer Kenty.. Milton McCrory, Leonzer Barber.. Todd Riggs, even old Dennis Andries, superbad Bernie Mays, The only man i knew Thomas Hearns refuse to spar with for the good of his own health... LOL..

 

Mickey Goodwin, the Downriver boxer who became Kronk’s first star, died of a stroke in home, Melvindale police said this afternoon.

shame to hear about that

is he the first of the Kronk boxers to go?

 

I trained at Mickey's gym in River Rouge for a while.....

 

Hilmer Kenty worked for the city in some capacity, I believe.
