LASD Boxing Team Awards

Reunion for fighters and coaches
“Enemies” in the ring. Associates in the force. Lifelong friends outside the ropes.
That was the sentiment shared by the large crowd attending the 2012 Los Angeles Sheriff’s Department (LASD) Boxing Team dinner and awards bash held Friday night at Steven’s Steakhouse in the City of Commerce.
This was a banquet for the amateur boxers, coaches, fellow officers and their families to get together at this special affair–a reunion of sorts. Many hadn’t seen each other for years after first meeting decades ago.
All shared a love for the fisticuffs after competing in various Police Olympics, Western States Police and Fire Games, the World Police Games and more.

DeMarcus Corley: How Sweet It Is
by Jill Diamond

On Saturday night, January 21st, at Roseland in NYC, Demarcus "Chop Chop" Corely returned to the ring to snatch the  NABF Super Light Title from Gabe 'Tito" Bracero. This surprised a ot of people, but not Demarcus, who said to me before the fight "It's mine." In the first five rounds he dominated, and with precision punches and put young Tito down three times. Later in the fight, Tito grew in strength and stamina... but not enough to undo the damage. By the end, Demarcus got him self a well deserved UD.

Here's to the new, old King! Long may he reign!

Jill: Is this a Come Back or a I Was Never Gone moment?

Demarcus: I want to thank everybody for wishing me the best of luck on my fight last night thank you for the support only if you knew my store you would understand why i say that i did not win but the man in side me did it for me. Back home will take a couple days off an get some rest and then go back to the gym. When time to defend NABF title I want to fight the top-five guys in the rankings and go from there.
