Boxing Loses Icon. RIP President Billy Sharpe
December 20,
2011
Words cannot express how very sad we
are from the Loss of our dear friend Billy Sharpe. All those
that knew Bill clearly understand what an inspiration he was to
us and the impact he made on our lives and the boxing world. His
strength and power stood out in such a way that was truly
unforgettable to us. He was a leader amongst leaders, never
wavering from his dedication of doing whatever he could to
support children and young adults in our amateur boxing program.
The boxing world is forever indebted to you. I join with
so many others who knew Bill in offering our deepest sympathy on
his passing. Although it is little consolation at this sad time,
it should be of some...More

Billy Stanick
December 9, 2011
Hello my name is Billy Stanick. I am
the President of Stanick Sheet Metal and Roofing and the founder
of The White Rock Boxing Gym, a Nonprofit Gym located at 2150
Dutch Fork Rd. I am looking for a small donation of $200 dollars
(Gold Sponsor) to help sponsor new rubber flooring for our
amateur fighters that train at White Rock. The cost of the mat
is $6,000 dollars. Your donation will help offset the cost of
the new flooring and other equipment we purchase on a regular
basis to replace the old. As you may already know we provide a
place for these young men and women to train at no cost to them.
All of the expenses associated with keeping the gym up and
running come out of pocket. Your support is greatly appreciated.
Everyone who donates will receive two raffle tickets valued at
$20 dollars each for a chance to win a $5,000 dollar tailgate
kitchen made by our company.

After over 100 amateur bouts and
several championships to his credit, 17-year-old De`Andre
Robinson-Neal of Columbia SC has decided to take his talents to
the next level. De`Andre has signed an exclusive promotional
contract with Palmetto Boxing Promotions LLC of Columbia, South
Carolina. De`Andre’s father, Dominic Robinson Neal, a
retired undefeated pro boxer, says “It’s time to move to the
next level, “De`Andre has done all he desires to do as an
amateur boxer. He feels he is stagnant now. He can’t get fights
anymore. He’s reduced to doing exhibitions on local pro shows
just to get some kind of ring work. It was his desire to go pro.
My job as his father, coach, manager and confidant is to support
him and make sure he is successful in whatever he wants to do.
For the record, I think he is more than ready to move to the
next level.” Palmetto Boxing Promotions echoes the father’s
sentiments saying “We are proud to have such a talented young
fighter as De’Andre as a part of our stable. This is just a
continuation of our relationship with him and his family that
started when he was just 9 years old. To see his progression...Full
