lin already hold belts as Bluewater champions.
Shelby 'the PitbullDines is ready to
represent the Lakeview Boxing Club
this weekend, November 18-20 at the
Ontario Boxing Championships in
Sarnia.
Dines is the only fighter from
Lakeview in the tournament, and will
be fighting at welterweight (1 47
pounds).
Coach Kirk Killarn said Dines has
been working very hard on head move-
ment and defence, "definitely not leav-
ing the fights up to the judges,"
Three Lakeview Boxers already have
the title (and belts) of Bluewater Cham-
pions, Dines, Killam and Derek
Quinlan.
The club is holding its annual fund-
raising silent` auction at Suncoast Mall
December 3, and thisyear, will be
showing Lakeview fight videos for visi-
tors to watch.
The club trains just north of Goderich
past Argyle Marina, and is about 15
fighters strong. That number, Kill.am
said, is doubled with boxersize classes.
