Hitz Friday May 7th Event Cancelled
After receiving word this afternoon that two of the headline fighters for this Friday's Rockford Rumble are injured, Hitz Boxing has announced the postponement of the event.
Bobby Hitz stated,"I haven't canceled an event in 12 years. However, with the local guys off the card, it just doesn't make sense anymore. I'm trying to build a new market in Rockford and need those Rockord fighters to build the fanbase there. Regrettably, the event will be rescheduled when the fighters are healthy. Thank you to the local media and sponsors for their tremendous support."

Judging by the poor attendance at the previous 2 shows, I would have canceled, too. A trainer I saw at the Jr Olympics at windy city gym, said that the crowd for the Jr Olympics was bigger than the Elgin debacle....OOUCH!
