1st Annual Manny Memorial Show

Join us for an afternoon of exciting USA Boxing amateur competition as athletes from across the region step into the ring to showcase their hard work, discipline, and heart.

This event is held in loving memory of our son, Manny. Boxing was more than a sport to him — it was a place where he found purpose, friendships, and confidence. We hope this annual event honors his legacy by bringing our boxing community together and inspiring the next generation of athletes.

Bring your family, cheer on these incredible athletes, and help us make the first Manny Memorial Show a tradition that celebrates courage, community, and the enduring impact one life can have.

Your first show

Never been to an amateur show?

Good. Come anyway. Here is everything you actually need to know before you walk in.

  1. 01

    Come when the doors open

    Doors open at 2:00 PM and the first bout is at 3:00 PM. Come early if you want a good seat. The 9:00 to 11:00 AM weigh-ins are for the athletes, not spectators.

  2. 02

    It is a card, not one fight

    An amateur show is a run of bouts, one after another. USA Boxing matches athletes by age, weight and experience, so you will see kids, teens and adults from gyms across the region on the same afternoon.

  3. 03

    Bring the family

    Admission is $15 for adults and $10 for kids 10 and under. Loud is welcome. Every fighter in that ring is somebody's kid, so cheer for all of them.

  4. 04

    You do not need to know boxing

    Nobody is quizzing you. Watch the corners, watch the hands, and listen to the room. If you leave wanting to try it, your first class at the gym is free.
