Gavronski and HalesOne of the best amateur boxers in the region–and a prolific shit-talker, to boot–Mike “The Mouth” Gavronski will defend his “Golden Boy” title at Golden Gloves Tournament this weekend at the Tacoma Dome. It’s likely to be his last amateur event; he plans to turn pro this spring.The Golden Gloves is one of the region’s biggest amateur boxingtournaments, drawing competitors from several states, and the GoldenBoy is given to its best boxer.”Mouth”, who picked upboxing at the relatively late age of 18 and also coaches recent SW cover subject Cindy Hales, earned his nickname with his constant, cocky monologues. His pre-fight comments this afternoon were noexception. Of his opponent, whose name he couldn’t fully remember (“Ithink it’s Darren something…he’s a nice kid”), he said, “I expect himto be down by the second round, and I’ll be resting, getting ready forthe next fight.” If he doesn’t go down? “God will be watchinghim,” said Mouth. “We’re all God’s children, so I don’t blame Jesus forhelping him.”Best of luck, Mouth.
