Ladies and Gentlemen, My name is Mr. Shannon Brown. For the last 15 almost 16yrs I have been working with kids under the USA Boxing Amateur Rules. It has been a labor of love teaching and mentoring these young men. If I am understanding this new rule correctly, it will kill our Amateur program as we know it. Our kids look forward to tournaments throughout the year and it keeps them off of the streets. Without something to look forward to, our kids will not continue to train and grow in the sport of Boxing. Local Gym owners will lose revenue and donations from those that support what we as Coaches and Small Buisness owners do for our communities. Please, allow us to remain under the Rules and Regulations of USA Boxing.
