The Hands Inside The Golden Gloves

Bobby Magruder has been the man that's been putting the top amateur tournaments (Golden Gloves) together in the Washington Metropolitan Area for many years. When people from the DMV think of the Golden Gloves only one name stands out (Bobby Magruder).  Bobby starts the tournament off at the Sugar Ray Leonard Community Center in Landover, Md where it always is a packed house. He then moves the Local and Regional Championship Finals to the Jaycees Community Center in Waldorf, Md. Tonight April 13, 2012 at Jaycees in Waldorf, Md the Regional Championships will take place. Every year it's been sold out and the bouts have been even more exciting.
