Top boxing officials from the United States, Mexico and Canada are participating in the North American Boxing Federation convention currently going on in New Orleans.
The general session was opened by the Deputy Mayor of New Orleans with Robert Lenhart acting as emcee.
One report said WBC secretary general Mauricio Sulaiman shared some wonderful personal stories of his time in New Orleans for the ?No Mas? fight, as well as encouraging news about the state of boxing in Mexico while Ed Pearson was praised for bringing in more Canadian representatives to the NABF.
The highlight was first term President Joe Dwyer??s address. Despite the economy, the NABF had more fights this year than in NABF history, including some in Germany, France and Algiers.
Four NABF champions, including Irma Sanchez, Chauncy Welliver, Wilbert Uicab and Joe Hipp were on hand as well as some top NABF promoters.
The judges seminar led by Dwayne Ford was well attended (in fact, standing room only), and the ratings meeting went smoothly with Claude Jackson at the helm.
