Canadian boxers at the last gate

THE 2012 CANADIAN A-TEAM AND THE LAST GATE: By Brian Zelley


As our Canadian boxers prepare for the action, one of the boxers has been
highlighted in a story in "The Chronicle Herald" (see link),  but there will be
other stories about the team and the individuals.
Fighters down to last shot for Olympics | The Chronicle Herald
Of the Cnadian boxers only the two Nova Scotia boxer
 BRODY BLAIR and CUSTIO CLAYTON are menttioned.
But the story for them all of them is the same, they must win their
first bout to hope for a spot on the Olympic team.  A loss in the
first bout will spell "End of Story", but win the first and there are
big possibilities.


The other Canadian boxers that are in the fight include
Kenny Lally of British Columbia, and Alex Rynn of Alberta.
