Inside The Ring

Early on the morning of 7/7/17 it didn't look like it was going to be such a great day to have an outdoor boxing match, but our luck held up and we were ready to rumble with West Midlands Fire Service from Birmingham, England at 7pm. By the end of the day the big crowd made our 50/50 just over $6,000.00 When the number was drawn by Army Specialist Hugo Gonzalez, our guest of honor, his daughter held the lucky winning ticket. As Ring Announcer Phil Tuffano stated, "his cup runneth over". He was speaking of Hugo and the money Buliding Homes for Heroes raised from the 3,000+ crowd. Many Thanks to all Rockawayans for showing up and making it the night it was. Oh and there were a couple of fights on the card too. We hope you enjoy the Pictures and Videos below. The FDNY triumphed over West Midlands 7 matches to 3. It was a most entertaining night of Boxing with a few other matches thrown in and of course the Grudge Match between two rival Brooklyn Truckies.

Congratulations to Our FDNY Winners of the evening:

Josiah Rivera, Andrew Tanzi, Steve Ramhold, Danny Quinn, Hildy Santana, Jonathan Velasquez and Dave Leonard.
