Goomba’s Boxing Club to hold sparring event
By Jennifer Lysiak
THE LANCASTER SUN EDITOR
Goomba’s Sparring is back for a second round. Featuring Buffalo’s next top boxers in a two-hour sparring event, boxers will have the opportunity to show family, friends, and the community all their hard work, sacrifice, and dedication they put into the sport. The sparring event will be held beginning at noon Saturday, Nov. 15, at Goomba’s Boxing Club, 11 West Main St, in the Village of Lancaster. Those who attend can park in the Save-A-Lot parking lot and enter through the gray door with “Goomba’s Boxing Club” sign above it. Tickets are $5 at the door and can be purchased prior as well. Hot dogs and pop will be available for purchase. Opening Goomba’s Boxing Club more than two years ago, Owner Joe Skubis

Joe Skubis, owner of Goomba’s Boxing Club. has continued to grow the club, knocking down a few walls in the process, to add many new features including an elevated 24 by 24 foot professional boxing ring, which Skubis commented is something you would see on HBO. “That is what our main goal was when we opened up the doors,” said Skubis, in regard to expanding. “We wanted to be the top-notch
amateur boxing facility in the Western New York area, and along with purchasing the ring. We wanted to do shows.” The first sparring event was held in early September and with much success, Goomba’s is at it again. The idea behind the sparring sessions are to help students/boxers that are planning to compete get out of their comfort zone a little
and get a taste of what competition will be like. “Sparring is preparing for upcoming fights, getting a chance to have a different opponent in front of you, so it’s not just the same old routine,” explained Skubis. “We are letting people see some of the behind the scenes on how amateur boxers prepare for upcoming fights.” From Goomba’s Club, the sparring event will feature

next big thing. We are in entertainment. We are in show business and that’s what we got to give to people,” Skubis said. Wo r k i n g a l o n g s i d e Skubis to help train the boxers are Trainers Hector Alejanbro and Clyde Leto. “They are two very phenomenal trainers,” said Skubis. “They both have over 40 years of experience and knowledge. Hector has always had a passion for this sport. He takes a kind liking to the art of boxing and teaching it to the younger generation.” Goomba’s Box Club accommodates boxers of all ages and skill levels whether they’re looking to fight competitively or interested in getting fit without getting hit by just using the training for fitness. Classes are held from 6 to 7 p.m. Monday through Friday. The cost is $45 per month with no contracts. Also open gym is available. The club is open Monday through Friday from noon to 9 p.m. and Saturday from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. For more information, check out the club’s Facebook page or call Skubis at 507-7542.

St. Mary’s participates in Coats4Kids Campaign to take this on. We haven’t done anything like this. So for them to do it, and they’re in charge of it, that’s pretty cool for them,” said Chelsea Wald Trulin, Spanish teacher. Señora Trulin, who created the Spanish Club this year, is having the club make posters and spread the word to other students, along with friends and family. It’s a first time for the club as well as the charity drive, but the two seem to be a perfect fit.

Alex Dedovets also known as “Big Alex;” Sammy Rodriguez; Ryan Piazza, Augustine Arricale, and Meghan Cox. It is not unheard of for a female to make their way into the ring; however, Skubis said it is still rare for a female to compete. “They are rare because boxers are cut from a different cloth. If it’s a fitness aspect everybody is made for it, because you’re going to be in great shape and you’re going to get the way you want to get, but for competition, male or female, you’re definitely different,” said Skubis. Also, some local boxing clubs will be participating in the sessions. Skubis said there will be at least 10 different sparring sessions. Boxers will go head on in two-minute rounds for three rounds. “People are going to experience good boxing matches, some good food, and they’re going to get to see some of next top amateur boxers in Buffalo on there way up,” said Skubis. Skubis added that sparring events will be held every other month at the club. “Football, hockey… all that is good, but we are the

From Oct. 20 to Nov. 19, students at St. Mary’s Elementary School will be collecting gently used coats, hats, scarves, gloves and jackets in a bin outside the main doors. The school has teamed up with Colvin Cleaners, who have enlisted the help of multiple schools in the area to make sure no child is cold this upcoming winter. For St. Mary’s, it’s the first year they’re participating, and the kids and staff are very excited to be a part of it. “Kids are very excited
