New York city and boxing gyms

Johns Gym in the Bronx is a great gym real old school, Joshua Clottey and Joseph Agbeko are training there, Go by this week and you'll probably catch Agbeko sparring. He was sparring there on wednesday at 4 o'clock. Theres tons of Golden gloves winners who train there such as Christopher Galeano and Stivens Bujaj (now a pro) and top trainers like Billy Giles (trained Malinaggi and Hector Camacho to world titles)

As for your other question the fight doesnt seem to be getting screened on US TV INFO FROM THIS PAGE :

You could try Nevada Smiths its a soccer bar but it might have a sky box of some sort and be able to get boxnation(might be a long shot)

 

If Agbeko is sparring, I bet one hand's on his chin and the other's over his nuts.

 

If you want to see Pros go to Gleasons in Brooklyn plenty of the top NY guys train there, of at least spar there at one time or another.

 

As a side note, talking about Gleesons, Paulie Mallignagi was supposed to of been a hell of a gym fighter, any New Yorkers know anything about that?

 

I train at John's Gym.

Unfortunately they're closing... there are other gyms in the bronx I'm looking into though...

Gonna miss that place...

Church st and the other downtown boxing gyms are ripoffs... JG was great.

I'd be interested in hearing what others say about gleasons

 

What??? you serious? Why are they closing, whos your trainer?

 

Gleason's, Church Street, Mendez, Fighthouse.

 

My trainer is Cano.

The word is is that they're closing...

 

It depends on how serious you are. A lot of the gyms are not what you would call hard core. There more to get people in shape and teach some basic boxing skills. Oh, and of course to make a buck.

 

Check out Jamiva, I worked with Mustafa Marconi.. man is full of wisdom

 

Cano is the long haired puerto ricon guy? I used to be trained by Alex when I was there.

 

^yeah he's an older guy,,, reddish hair... which one's alex? Where are you now?

 

Im in Ireland now. Alex is tall and from somewhere in the Caribbean his daughter is Storm, he has his set up at the very back of the gym beside the lockers. Yeah i know Cano he's a nice guy. what weight do u fight at? Im hoping to be back over there training next summer hopefully the gym will still be open then.

 

:thumbsup

That's right. Jamiva trains out of Kid Kelly's Gym in Brooklyn. Mustafa is the head teacher/coach.
