Pat McPherson’s I.B.G. celebrated earning Top Team Status for the fifth straight year.

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 () 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

APRIL 2019 INDIANA GOLDEN GLOVES PAGE 17 Golden Gloves History Though boxers have faced off at the Golden Gloves Tournament without interruption for 91 years (since 1928), Golden Gloves was truly born in 1923 when Arch Ward, sports editor of the Chicago Tribune, organized the tournament as a protest of political forces preventing the practice of pugilism. Protestors succeeded in closing down a boxing exhibition hosted by the Illinois Naval Academy and the Illinois legislature had banned the sport for decades when Ward announced the Tribune’s tournament initiative. The first Golden Gloves tournament ran for six nights (three nights longer than originally planned) and showcased 424 boxers. Net proceeds of $6,000 were donated to a fund for disabled war veterans. Despite bitter opposition from organizations such as the National Reform Association and the Law and Order League, an injunction prevented interference. As a program from the 1981 National Golden Gloves Tournament of Champions recounted, “thus boxing in Illinois was on its way back.” Illinois voters rescinded the boxing prohibition in 1926. The best of the Big Apple and the Windy City’s amateur boxers first faced off in the Golden Gloves Tournament of Champions on March 24, 1928 in the old Coliseum. Soon the tournament grew into include fighters from around the country. Chicago hosted the tournament until the Tribune discontinued its sponsorship following the 1963 series. Under the leadership of Albuquerque, New Mexico’s Stan Gallup, 32 regional franchises then banded together and became Golden Gloves of America, Inc. The collective has organized the National Golden Gloves Tournament of Champions each year since 1964. Some of boxing’s greatest legends have launched their careers with Golden Gloves championships, including Muhammed Ali and Joe Lewis.
