Question
Hi,
I competed in the National Golden Gloves in 2006 and 2005 and I was wondering where I could get a copy of those tournaments on video tape or dvd. Also, I wanted to know if some of the other amateur tournaments are also available such as the National Championships in 2006.

Answer
Hi Benito,

Thanks for the question.
I'm not sure who televised the tournaments you mentioned, but that would be the place to obtain a tape. In years past, ESPN has televised at least a portion of the finals. Or you could try contacting USA Boxing directly and making the same request you made of me.
Go to: http://commerce.tlww.com/usaboxing/store/contactus.asp

Write your request in the comments section, and they should at least be able to tell you who might have televised the bouts.
I hope this helps, Benito.
Thanks again for writing!

Regards,
Lian
