New England sports fans are categorized several different ways. We are, of course, a Red Sox Nation and a hockey town, but we also happen to bleed green. Plus, as Robert Kraft put it, "We are all Patriots."


But people are forgetting that this area also has a great tradition of boxing.

New England has paved the way for some of boxing's greatest and most memorable athletes. Rocky Marcianois a legendary heavyweight, and the only champion to retire undefeated.Marvin Hagler is not only one of the best middleweights of all time, but his third round TKO over Tommy Hearns is a fight that will be talked about forever. We also have to give major props to Lowell's Micky Ward for giving us a splendid career as well as three devastatingly amazing fights against Arturo Gatti.

More recently, the Northeast has spit out quite a few promising pro prospects, including Matt Godfrey, Edwin Rodriguez, Peter Manfredo Jr., Jason Estrada, Danny O'Conner and Demetrius Andrade.

What do all these fighters have in common? They have all gone through the New England Golden Gloves tournament. The Gloves has been a tradition in New England since 1964 and sells out the Lowell Memorial Auditorium year in and year out.

This is really good. I can not imagine what you are not happy with. It is amazing how much better you have gotten in such a short amount of time. I know it doesn't seem like it, but it really has not taken you very long go from "kinda raw talent" to "really good artist." Now think about how much you have spent on classes and how much practice you have put in to get a picture you see good and bad in. If you would put in half that much into golf (classes or practice) you could find good in your golf game as well. Every round does not have to be a master piece. That is how golf and art are alike for me.
