    Kronk is still open fellas! They just had to move to another gym. Andre Dirrell trained there for his fight with Abraham. Abraham also trained there when they had media day, he did a light workout.

    its not the same though

    its only there as a 'name' the real kronk died years ago

    no one puts in the time or the effort in the kronk anymor.

    right now we have the wild card and the savannah boxing gym (ronnie shields' gym), if manny steward would go back there and put in the time then maybe it will be what it once was.

    What are you talking about?

    Emmanuel still trains guys out of the Kronk from time to time.

    They have some new studs coming out of the Kronk gym in Detroit the last few years.

    Andy lee 20-1

    Jason Cintron 12-1 rec

    Jonathon Banks 20-1 former Cruiser Weight Champion(lost to Tomasz Adamek)

    still none of these hold a candle to the fighters of yesteryear

    steward goes there to visit every once in a while

    back in the 80's and 90's kronk was the powerhouse of pro/am boxing.

    i mean seriously who the **** is jason cintron and jonathan banks.
