Gorman Donald Brennan Member of the National Hall of Fame Class of 2010
Gorman Donald Brennan Member of the National Hall of Fame Class of 2010 Gomeo Brennan discovered profound escort in the proverbial advice that the outstanding achiever does not pray for tasks equal to his powers, but rather he prays for prayers equal to the tasks set out before him. Such a task included his continuation of the national assignment to intensify world recognition of The Bahamas as a fecund ground for the germination of world class athletes and the cradle of world champions. His mission was defined by the loud example of his cousin, Yama Bahama, another outstanding Biminite who immediately pre- ceded him in the artistry of professional boxing. So successfully was Gomeo in meeting such a task that it is obvious that his prayers did find divine favour. Gomeo commenced his training for successful boxing career in 1955 and after eight hundred and fifty (850) rounds of pugalisue, he retired in 1972, with a win-loss-draw record of 83-21-7. The task to which his powers were equal began in 1958, with his first fight against Ali Kasslin at the Martin Tuna Club in Bimini, a bout which he won by a knockout. He soon thereafter migrated to train at the famed Fifth Street Gym in Miami, Florida un- der the abl4e tutelage of Chris and Angelo Dundee. There he developed such flexibility that he was able to earned distinction in a number of classifications, from welterweight to light heavyweight. Gomeo’s fortune and frame took him to fights across the globe. He secured victories throughout the Continental United States, in Hawaii, Germany, Italy, Denmark, Puerto Rico, Aruba, Canada, Belize, New Zealand, the United Kingdom (London).
