2011 National PAL Results
By
Striking Beauties' Coach Zach Reay & Amanda Pavone make New England proud with the National PAL Championship belt. Special thanks to the awesome Liz Leddy who worked Amanda's corner!
USA Boxing New England should be so proud of the women who represent them!
An amazing showing by Liz Leddy who won her first 2 bouts, only to lose in the 3rd. However, due to technicalities, there is still the possibility that Liz could take the #3 qualifying spot from the National PALs for the US Olympic trial team. No one deserves it more than Liz, so let’s hope this works out fairly in her favor!!!
Then there is Amanda Pavone, the talented 119 lb. fire cracker who keeps ringing up the wins and bringing home golds and silvers! She fought Araceli Tinoco, winning by decision, 19-14.
Once again, incredible job Amanda! We are so proud of you!
Coach Reay, in his first solo coaching event, brings the Gold and the Belt home to New England and Striking Beauties! A young, ambitious and extremely hard-working trainer, Coach Reay focused all his time and energy on Amanda, and it paid off!
Last, but certainly not least, Striking Beauties wants to congratulate all the male fighters from RI who shared in the wins and losses in Ohio. Toka & Anthony won every bout up until the very end. Once again, New England’s stars shine across the country! We may not bring home the gold every time, but we certainly leave our mark and bring home the respect and pride deserving to these relentless achievers!
