"This is our Octoberfest meeting," Ring 8 president Bob Duffy said. "Our host, Plattduetsche Park Restaurant, will be serving delicious German food from its famous menu. We're also fortunate to have such great speakers. Randy is an expert on a wide variety of subjects in boxing. Joe is one of the best trainers of local pro and amateur boxers, while George is always open to answering questions from members about his very important job in the corner."  |
