This is to satisfy my own curiosity. Here are the ground rules:
* Don't name your own gym. * If you can, give us one gym in the Metro and one Outstate. * Give a reason for your pick.
That's it. Have fun!

Metro- COD - Too much good stuff to say about these guys to fit on this page. Rice Street. I m not sure how, but jonny turns out some great kids in spite of himself. Outstate- Fergus Falls/Wadena Reasons: Randy Denzel is a real upstanding guy and if he says he is bringing 6 guys to your show all 6 will show up. they will take matches with the best. Bob Tubandt's guys always come to fight and he puts on some good shows in wadena. He is not afraid to invite the best to compete with his boxers

That was a great post, but I'm disappointed that only one person has replied to the question.
We see a lot of flaming and criticizing and arguing on this page. Doesn't anyone else have anything positive to say?

Honestly that question?? whose got the best gym in MN?? IS too broad and vague.. There are many good gyms in MN.. All which will always have room for improvement... All are good for diff reasons.. What makes a boxing gym the best?? How many pros u produce?? How much you bank?? What you have as far as equipment?? Depends on what qualifies a gym to be the best.. Some would disagree with what makes a gym the best.. I think it depends on how many lifes you get to be a part of, making a positive change and being a great influence, so much more than even that.. I should write a book on it, it would have more info in it than the bible..

haterz, I agree with you that there are a hundred different criteria for picking a "best" gym. If you feel that you need some guidance, here are a few questions that might be useful.
-Who is getting the most out of their kids' God-given talent? -What gym has the best teachers? -Which gyms are best to deal with from a business standpoint? From a personal standpoint? -Whose facilities and equipment are best stocked, maintained, and laid out? -Who turns out the best amateur boxers? -Who turns out the best human beings?
Everybody has their own take, and that personal opinion is what I'm after. Ultimately each person's answer is going to reflect what they think is imporant, and I'm not going to tell people what should be important to them. I want them to tell me.

Im just going to answer these off the cuff and without alot of deliberation...for fun and to give an oppinion...
-Who is getting the most out of their kids' God-given talent?' White Bear/COD/Rice St -What gym has the best teachers? COD/WBL/Rice ST -Which gyms are best to deal with from a business standpoint? St Cloud Golden Gloves-always willing to help From a personal standpoint? Fergus Falls- Most reliable -Whose facilities and equipment are best stocked, maintained, and laid out? St Cloud Golden Gloves(nonprofit)/Uppercut (for profit) -Who turns out the best amateur boxers? COD/WBL/Rice St -Who turns out the best human beings? thats an interesting question,but id have to say all of them help kids on level or another,bickering amongst adults doesnt help them much...Ive only met a very small number of boxers who I didnt like.Most are polite,freindly and good hearted.

first and foremost i would like to thank everyone over at brunettes for proving my point for me tonight as to why they are the worst gym in minnesota.all the way from the trainers to the fighters,to the fans.cris bruce should never be allowed to fight again for what he pulled tonight,what a little punk,trying to bring the street into the ring,well guess what cris you are a pregnant dog outside the ring too.now for chump ass al,why would you put your hands on a fighter,choking him in your corner,you are not a man my friend.and to the fans of brunettes boxing you are all worse than cris or al.and to the rest of the brunettes good luck hosting any shows in the future,hahahaha

Thats a crying d**n shame uncle tom.. I cant believe this did you see tha same thang I saw tonite?? And if they are gunna suspend Cris?? Ismails rear should also.. And bringing the street into the ring?? Like 35 ppl brought that in the square.. Not one person.. DUH.. I know Al can b difficult at times.. I do believe Al was trying to break it up and got caught up in the mess.. Al never stepped foot in the ring, he was on the other side of the ropes and still in his corner.. An I did see lil ol innocent Hoshang fly across the ring from his corner to Als and punch a grown man in the face.. Cant blame him if he put Hoshang over his knee and spanked his hiney, sumbody needs 2 might as well be Al.. These kidds not only have no respect for the ring but none for there elders.. HELLO!! These kids are acting like snot nosed brats.. And Uncle Tom u are selfish, u may not like the Brunettes, but they do host shows for the kids, and I must say that Bobby did a great job in the representitive/hospitable manner, as faras I could tell..

Wow. Me an Uncle Tom must have seen a different fight then you. I'm gonna find this video. Somebodies gotta have it. I think its the other way around though. If they are gonna suspend Hoshang then they for SURE should suspend Chris Bruce also. And a few others.....

I saw the samething uncle tom saw, sad that hihaters seems to have been to far away to see what really went down...lol hihaters seems to have nothing to say about everything, does anyone really understand why he says the stuff he says? ? AL definately should never have put his hands on a minor in or out of the ring (if that was my son i would sue) and he is definatly not a role model for kids.....i saw this kind of behavior at another brunnett fight (george chute ring any bells)

If you can read and your competent ruserious I dont see whats so hard to understand.. And I say the things I do cuz i dont have a issue with speaking up and even if its me on one side and everybody ealse on the other, I look forward to it.. ANd if your not quick enough 2 follow what Im saying then dont even try, maybe its jus to hard for you to understand.. OHH yea you wanna bring up that slob George C yea he sucks not only at boxing but his attitude, HELL YES.. Thats the only thing ruserious has said thats been true.. But maybe you were not present when about a year ago the Ismail kidd started problems, yes at Canterbury with Stanley?? Duh.. Yes I said Ismail.. Stanley hadda knock him out(best k.o Ive seen so far) and no that still didnt shut this kids mouth nor his big mouth brothers up..
