Randy and Kim have decided to help support UNLV’s Boxing Program. The UNLV team which won the NCAA Boxing Championship in 2006 is a club sport that receives very little support from the University. So we here at Xtreme Couture MMA are trying to lend them a helping hand. As the 2008-2009 school year approaches we’ll be announcing some charity events aimed at helping the team to raise funds.
Here is an article from UNLV’s student newspaper The Rebel Yell about the boxing team. Xtreme Couture coaches Ron Frazier and Chris Ben are assistant coaches under our pal Skipper Kelp at UNLV.

There’s what should be a good scrap on HBO tonight at 10:15 Eastern & Pacific when former Welterweight champs Vernon Forrest and Carlos Baldomir hook up in the ring.
Ron’s Prediction:
Vernon Forrest should continue his winning ways. Though Baldomir is a former champion, he beat a Zab Judah who wasn’t prepared to fight. They’re both former big welterweights but Vernon is six feet tall with a longer reach. He should work behind his jab. Look for a late round stoppage for Vernon.
