SATURDAY NIGHT BOXING #35, Griffins 8^th Anniversary, and the Norm Show!

On April 27, 2013 we had another fantastic Saturday Night Boxing (#35 in the series). A huge thank you to Paul our photographer for his amazing photos!! There were many strong clubs from all over the province that came down to go head to head with our amazing Amateur team! The crowd energy gave these athletes the atmosphere they needed to give all they got in the 9 bouts. After the bouts, the crowd stayed to view the special screening of a new biography on the’ “Morgan Freeman” of Griffins’ Norm Gautreau!
