Belize Mexico Boxing

Without a doubt, the Harmouch fight made the night and had fans cheering – storming the ring and dancing at last night’s Belize Boxing Federation sponsored event held at Angel Nunez Auditorium. The organizers did a great job – giving all of us a very entertaining evening.

The stands and VIP tables were packed – around 1200 boxing fans and people-watchers turned up to see last night’s match – six of Belize’s premier boxers fought against six boxers from Mexico. Early evening Mexico was holding a 3 to 1 lead till  Harmouch turned things around for Belize in fight 5 winning with a split decision in his favor.

Thanks goes out to all the sponsors who made the Friday night Belize boxing event possible.

    I even agree it was a fun night and I’m not into boxing at all! It was great to see how much the community supports their boxers! I was chatting with Daniel, our guide from Suya on our Beach BBQ yesterday who also attended the event, he thinks the island needs more events like this, I couldn’t agree more. It was great to see how many people were there!
