LA BOXING STYLE GUIDE VOL 1
MAIN EVENT PRO BOXING GLOVE |
| As early as 648 BC, the martial art known as Pankration was introduced into the Greek Olympic Games. A blend of boxing and wrestling, the Spartans were taught to use this ancient technique with the sole purpose of fighting and killing on the battlefield.The Greek and Roman boxers of that time used an ancient battle glove called the Cestus to keep their hands protected during competition while they would strike their opponents using these gloves made of leather strips and sometimes filled with iron plates or fitted with blades or spikes – lucky for your heavy bags or sparring partner ours are just made out of leather and filled with foam.
Ahead of his 1964 world title bout with Sonny Liston, Muhammad Ali makes his legendary ‘I Am The Greatest’ speech. Had the Main Event glove been around during that time and endorsed him, history may have been re-written had he declared ‘I Am The Greatest’ and I Have the Greatest Gloves’.
The Main Event Boxing Pro Glove (No. 1), five-layers of form-fitting, evenly distributed padding for your opponents safety and for your enjoyment, designed with shock-absorbing memory foam that lasts longer and protects better like a good anti-perspirant than the competition’s low-grade stuffing, made with breathable top-grain real leather and double-stitched seams for durability and quality.
These are the kind of gloves that when you wear them out in public, people are afraid to say anything to you because you are a bad ass. The name alone ‘Main Event’ speaks volumes to the type of person that wears these gloves as anything else is just an under card.
For just $89.99, be apart of history and continue the legacy of The Glove.
Unisex Sizes: 10oz, 12oz, 140oz, 16oz
Colors: Black
Trade in your old gloves or cheap gloves and we will give you 20% OFF for the next 48 hours to celebrate President’s Day – Washington and Lincoln would be proud! |

| NEW LA Boxing T-Shirt |
| The T-Shirt evolved from undergarments used in 19thcentury Europe as a convenient covering for hot environments. Following World War II it became common to see veterans wearing trousers with their T-Shirts as casual clothing.The T-Shirt is still as fashionable as it was in the mid-1980s when Don Johnson wore it with an Armani suite in Miami Vice.
The LA Boxing T-Shirt (No. 12), in a soft, very stretchy Tri-Blend of Polyester, Cotton, and Rayon will remind you of a time of your infancy with your ‘snuggie’ but is cool enough to wear in public without your Armani suit.
The American Apparel blank is as durable as Bernard Hopkins being 47 years young and holding the WBC Light Heavyweight title.
Champion boxers and professional athletes of all types have closets full of these – you need but just one.
Priced so low at $20, you would swear this was illegal.
Unisex sizes: S, M, L
Colors: Athletic Grey, Tri-Indigo

NEW LA Boxing California Fleece Track Jacket |
| California. It’s a place to be seen on the scene.The Beach Boys wished all the girls could be from there. While you’re not, you could be one step closer wearing this jacket.
Not a girl? No problem. Men as fast as Ryan Hall and as strong as The Arnold live there – and they wear these jackets. Put one of ours on to feel what we’re talking about.
The LA Boxing California Fleece Track Jacket (No. 405), of 100% California Fleece cotton construction so you know it’s legit. Zips to the top of collar or leave it open 3 inches from there with the collar up if you can handle being as popular as The Fonz. Comes with Kangaroo pocket to store your hand wraps on the way to class.
You may not own a star on the boulevard, but you could own this jacket and priced at only $30 it’s considerably more affordable.
Unisex sizes: S, M, L, XL Colors: Ashfalt/White |

| Top World Ranked Heavyweight Tony “The Tiger” Thompson Prepares for IBF Heavyweight Championship Elimination Bout at LA Boxing Bethesda |
For Immediate Release
LA Boxing Bethesda Continues to Host Top Professional Boxers
Bethesda, MD, September 21, 2011 – Washington DC-based LA Boxing DMV continues to play host to world-renowned professional boxers with top-ranked heavyweight Tony “The Tiger” Thompson as he prepares for his October 28, 2011 IBF Heavyweight Championship Elimination Bout versus Eddie Chambers. The elimination bout will be broadcast as a featured “special event” on Showtime’s ShoBox Television Series. Thompson will be training at the newest LA Boxing DMV location in Bethesda, MD.
“We have seen a tremendous amount of excitement and demand for our gyms in the DMV area and equal excitement amongst our members and the public for hosting world-class fighters,” said Brian Sreniawski, company partner for LA Boxing DMV. “Having a stand out, top-ranked athlete like Tony Thompson training at LA Boxing Bethesda is a great boost to our gym and our member morale,” he said. LA Boxing DMV is also putting on an USA Boxing amateur boxing show October 8, 2011 at the Columbia MD location which will be featuring DC Boxing Hall of Famer Ring Announcer Henry “Discombobulating” Jones as the announcer for the event and Tony Thompson will be making a special guest appearance.
LA Boxing, a membership physical fitness company consisting of unique boxing, kickboxing and MMA training regimens, has trained world champions and numerous professional fighters. The vast majority of our members are women and men who are interested in The LA Boxing Workout™ a cardio workout that burn 800 to 1000 calories per one-hour class. Everyday folks enjoy the benefits of our fitness-training program right beside future heavyweight champs.
About Tony “The Tiger” Thompson: Promoted by Goossen Tutor Promotions, Thompson (36-2, 24 KOs), a 6-foot-6 inch, 250-pounder with an 81.5-inch reach, earned his nickname by virtue of his southpaw stance and reputation of being a vicious hitter with knockout power in both hands. Those qualities — combined with his intimidating size — contribute to Thompson’s dominance in the ring, which saw him go eight full years without a loss until his encounter with Klitschko, which most believe was Wladimir’s toughest defense since.
Thompson’s most recent bout was against Maurice Harris in Reno, Nevada in an IBF Heavyweight Title Elimination bout to claim an IBF #2 world rating. A determined Thompson made quick work of his opponent, knocking him down once in the second round, and ending the fight with another knockdown at 1:51 of the third round, earning the right to challenge the #1 IBF world rated contender, Eddie Chambers in a final World Championship Elimination bout.
