\”I\’m definitely an underdog here,\” said Herring, a light welterweight who surprised several opponents at the U.S. Olympic Team Trials with quick footwork and his ability to dodge punches. \”It\’s like a hit and run. It\’s like a game of tag — I\’m hitting, and I\’m gone.\”

\”The minute you get frustrated, I\’m right back on you.\”

Herring will be the first U.S. Marine boxer to climb into an Olympic boxing ring in 20 years. He said coaches sometimes compare him to \”Sugar Ray\” Leonard, who won Olympic gold at the 1976 games while fighting in the light-welterweight division. He said Leonard danced like Muhammad Ali — avoiding punches and coming in for the knock-out.

\”Speed creates power,\” Herring said.

Brazil\’s Everton Lopes, however, is the reigning world champion in the light-welterweight division and England\’s Thomas Stalker is the division\’s No. 1-ranked boxer.

\”The odds are definitely not with us,\” said USA head boxing coach retired Army Sgt. 1st Class Basheer Abdullah, who added that all of his athletes have a fighting chance in London.

CNBNews Weekly Poll: Should Fishing Be Banned at Freedom Pier?

 BY BILL CLEARY

(cnbnews.net)Gloucester City Council introduced an Ordinance on First

reading July 28 that forbids fishing at Freedom Pier, King and Cumberland Streets. The site is the future home of the proposed Otts Restaurant. The new law came about because of a few fishermen who are trashing the area which is located at the former Coast Guard Base on the Delaware River. Trash is also a problem at the nearby Proprietor’s Park Fishing Pier but that pier will remain open. Second reading and final adoption of the new law is scheduled for August 16. 

 

 

A number of people are against the ordinance and have commented on the topic. See story. Here are a few remarks.
