JOEY AND HIS CHALLENGERS: By Brian Zelley
Over the last several years JOEY LAVIOLETTE has been riding the crest
of the wave of the ocean of Canadian bantameights and like all champions
no annual tournament is a guarantee of victory of holding the title.
Based on preliminary data, there will be at least eight fighters from
Alberta to Prince Edward Island ready to borrow the title from
Joey and avoid any double losses in box-off competition.
From the west leading a charge for Team Alberta will be Eric Taylor
and from PEI it will be Matt Harris. But, by the weight of numbers,
Team Ontario will lead the charge with four potential hot challengers
including: Justin Hocko, David Palacios, Rodolpho Velasquez and
Jermain Badchkam. But Team Quebec who couldn't get the numbers
together when it counted for future Canada Games activity can never
be counted out for future ring activity once the opening bell rings.
Two potential warriors from Quebec carry the name Gauthier for Gold.
This weight is loaded with talent and should be one of the more interesting weight divisions. Im expecting very close fights and dont see a sure winner but I am looking forward to seeing these guys get in the ring. The 3 guys to watch here in my opinion are Laviolette, Gauthier and Hocko. Good Luck Boys
