Golden Gloves Finals 2012

 This Saturday, March 24th 2012 Mike “The Grouch” DiPlacido stepped into the ring against a very tall and athletic opponent.  As soon as the fight began Grouch went right after his opponent, cutting the taller fighter off and landing big combinations on him up against the ropes.  His opponent tried to use his long jab to keep the Grouch at bay but Grouch kept slipping his shots, getting inside and going to work.  Grouch kept the pressure throughout the fight and eventually wore down his opponent.  Grouch stunned him twice in the third round prompting the Ref to give 2 standing eight counts.  Grouch almost finished him in the third but ran out of time and ultimately won a unanimous decision and the title of golden gloves champ.  He will now be competing in the regionals.  I will keep everyone posted on when he will fight again.  I also wanted to thank everyone who came out in support of the Grouch and our team.
