FRIENDS OF BRITISH COLUMBIA BOXING

The FRIENDS of BRITISH COLUMBIA BOXING: by Brian Zelley

It could be argued that the sport of Amateur Boxing in British Columbia
has many friends comprised of different groups and individuals scattered around the Province.

BRITISH COLUMBIA AMATEUR BOXING HALL OF FAME

A fresh new group of friends of ex-boxing folk asnd some active folks
that joined together in June 2010.By September 2010  The six administrators are:
Ray Beaulieu, Scott Galloway, Daniel McGarvie, 
Steven Kodiak, Steve Wood and Brian Zelley.

By September 2010, 15 names from a list of 50 were selected as the core group;
Rick Brough, Dave Brown, Fred Desrosiers, Dick Findlay, Fred Fuller,
Freddy Fuller, Eddie Haddad, Chris Ius, Elio Ius, Harold Mann,
Pat O'Reilly, Frank Scott, Manny Sobral, Dale Walters and Jimmy Walters.

It is expected more names will be recognized in 2011 by the 2011 Administrators.

 THE FRIENDS OF BRITISH COLUMBIA BOXING (2000)

Before the BC Amateur Boxing Hall of Fame, there was a small group
 formed in Vancouver in 2000 called Friends of British Columbia Boxing.
Some years back, there was a story in the VANCOUVER COURIER"
about the groups decision to have a group to remember past boxing folks
with their names on plaques on park benches at Hasting's Park.

Some of the folks involved include
 RICK FLECK and CID BIANCO,

2001 Names;  JAMIE OLLENBERGER and EDDIE OSTAPOVICH
2002 Names:  ELIO IUS and FRED FULLER

Not sure if this group still exists, but it was a great way to remember
past members of amateur boxing from the Greater Vancouver area.

THE ROAD AHEAD:  EX-BOXERS OF BC

There has been past discussions about the formation of a ex-boxers of BC Group or Society
which could include past or even current pesons involved in the sport of amateur and
professional boxing from boxers, trainers, officials and coaches.

One of the projects of the group could be taking over the administration of the
British Columbia Amateur Boxing Hall of Fame, or they may want to expand
it to include pro boxing, but some of the old time pros such as KEN LINDSAY, 
FRANK & STAN ALMOND,  JACKIE TURNER,  BILLY TOWNSEND
and ithers would be covered in amateur boxing.

BC BOXERS - Ten of the best

in search of the best BC Boxers of all-time: by brian zelley

There are many yardsticks that can be used to measure achievements and performance.  Sometimes, we must rely on our own experiences and also
reliable sources such as sports reporters, the experiences and stories of others
and documentation from a wide variety of sources such as newspapers, books,
scrapbooks and even the many web sites.

In July, some former members of  boxing in BC started a journey to select
boxers and builders for a
 BRITISH COLUMBIA AMATEUR BOXING HALL OF FAME.

After various steps, ten boxers are being considered for permanent recognition
as the elite of BOXING in BRITISH COLUMBIA.

The select ten are:
FRED DESROSIERS, DICK FINDLAY, FREDDY FULLER,
EDDIE HADDAD, CHRIS IUS, HAROLD MANN, FRANK SCOTT,
MANNY SOBRAL, DALE WALTERS and JIMMY WALTERS.

This list of ten is an interesting mix of some of the best boxers that have competed in and for British Columbia in a variety of club shows, tournaments,
Golden Gloves tournaments in places like Tacoma, Portland
and Seattle, and of course International tournaments from the
1948 Olympic Games to the 1988 Olympic Games, and various other ones such as the British Empire Games, Commonwealth Games and Pan American
Games. 

in fairness to the many other boxers there are others that could be in a list of ten top boxers from one of the first Golden Gloves champions such as
KENNY LINDSAY, or 2000 Olympic boxer DONNIE ORR, or some of the many other Golden Boys such as Jack Straza, Alan Curtis, Bill (Curly) Adams, and many more.
