LAFAYETTE, LA - Handsome, articulate, well-built, athletic, a true Southern Gentleman and Lafayette born and bred. Sound familiar? It should, the original is all of the above and the other (former New York Yankees pitcher) Ron Guidry is made from the same mold.
Though not related, these two fine men share world championship hardware; one has two World Series rings in baseball for the New York Yankees, and the other owns the 2009 and 2007 Ringside World Championship belt in boxing.
Ron Guidry, the boxer, is 72 years old and just won the 2009 165-pound, 70 to 75-year-old division on points at Kansas City over the past weekend (Aug. 8). He defeated Detroit's Paul Soucy.

Ragin' Cajun Boxing Club
MONTAGUE, LA - Rising Breaux Bridge High School freshman, and Breaux Bridge Boxing Club member, 13-year-old Chance Fontenot, had some fun in his 105-pound match Saturday night (July 18) against big puncher Shane Sellers.
Fighting in the Extreme Boxing Club amateur show, Fontenot won a 3-0 points decision.
Sellers is known for his strength in his right hand after he recently scored a 32-second knockout in the finals of the Louisiana State Golden Gloves. He came out for the opening round with the intent on landing that big right hand. But Fontenot boxed and used a sharp left jab with lateral movement to keep Sellers in check.
