new beginning

Introduction:

Marcus Hume is an amateur boxer from Prince George, who 

has left the British Columbia Amateur Boxing Association and

will be trying a new version of amateur boxing through an

alternative group.  Alos, the long running club which he has

been a part,  the Prince Georgre "Spruce Capital Warriors"

boxing club, now under the direction of Wayne Sponagle

have not renewed their membership with Boxing BC  and

will be part of an alternative group.

To appreciate the previous journey of Marcus, we need to step
back in time to to about 2006 to 2008 to follow his journey.

2007/2008: The sign on the wall:

* There were two fights that Marcus had with a boxer

by the name of Ledger from the Peace River Shamrock

boxing club which would demonstrate the range and 

ring ability of the Prince George ring warrior Hume.

Marcus would show great versatility with the use of the

jab, uppercuts and body punching and the ability to 

execute good combinations.

High Expectations:  A Coaches view:

Coach of Marcus Hume and Thomas Speirs

is not afraid to tell it like he thinks it is as

demonstrated in the recent story in 

"Prince George Citizen" in a March 6th. 

story by Jason Peters:

Well the positive views of an old coach to support

his two boxers should not be a great big shocker,

but a departure from reality often gets in the way

of story telling and could lead us into the world

of fiction and fantasy far from the documented

facts and records.
