Pre-Tournament Hype With Sugar Ray Seales The Olympic Gold Champion and retired pro boxer now coaches with IBG. Here are some of his thoughts ahead of the 2019 Golden Gloves. “I use two words in my game: focus and listen. Focus on what you’re doing and listen how to get it done. I boxed 19 years. I had 430 fights. I lost 19. I had over 200 knockouts. It’s what I love to do. It’s my game. It’s not the dog that’s in the fight. It’s the fight that’s in the dog. Now remember this: A chihuahua can beat a pitbull. It’s who is going to grab who first. I don’t like seconds. I’m a first-place deal. The greatest of all time (Muhammad Ali) said to me in an autograph, ‘Service to others is the rent we pay for our room in heaven.’ If we don’t give, we don’t get. The Lord said in heaven there are many mansions and one has your name on it, but the only way you’re going to get there is if you provide a service for someone. You don’t have to reach in your pocket and give any money: a pat on the shoulder, a nice word and a good morning... (Regarding the 2019 Indiana Golden Gloves tournament...) We’re gonna win again. We won five in a row and we’re gonna win a sixth one. Why? Because we understand that the only way we’re gonna get there is to pay attention. We gotta focus and listen. Focus on what you’re doing and listen how to get it done. You all come see me. I know what it is.” APRIL 2019 INDIANA GOLDEN GLOVES PAGE 5 Second Place Team Second Place honors in 2018 went to Louisville TKO.
