PAGE 23 - PLAINDE ALER - FRIDAY, JULY 17, 1884 Sports Boxing card shaping up WOODSTOCK-The Wood­ stock Boxing Club boxing ex­ travaganza 'is going along very nicely to this point," according to co-organizer Ed Carey of Woodstock. The club will hold a seven-bout professional boxing card at 2 p.m. Saturday, Aug. 11, in the McHenry County Fairgrounds. It will feature fighters from Milwaukee, Waukegan, Chicago, Aurora, Peoria and South Carolina. '"Hiey are up and coming young, experienced professionals," Carey said. "All the bouts but three are finished," he added. "We should have all of them filled by the middle of next week." South Carolina fighter Kip Riley has a 7-7-1 record to the contest. Mexican Ismael Rodriguez is unbeaten. Tommy Tarantino has traveled worldwide, winning 30 of his 45 bouts. All weight classes will be featured. Prize money will total about $5,000, Carey said. Tickets will cost $10 each. They can be purchased at the gate or by telphoning 338-5536 and 338-9881. Carey said a group calling itself the Woodstock Boxing Boosters recently purchased a group of 70 tickets. "It was really something," Carey said. "There's a group that has been going to the fights in Chicago by van and by bus for a long time. I knew nothing about this and last week I got a call from a fellow wanting tickets." So, Carey said he suggested the name of Woodstock Boxing Boosters. "They liked it," he said. Carey said he was encouraged by McHenry County residents' reaction to the James "Quick" Tillis and Terry Whitaker fights. Tillis hails from Chicago and presently is boxing in New York City, Carey said. Tillis is in Tulsa, Okla. "Our aim is to bring in evenly matched fighters," Carey said. "People in Woodstock shouldn't have to drive to the city (Chicago)." The fight will be held outdoors in the grandstand area of the fairgrounds. Bleachers will extend all around the ring, accomodating about 2,000 people, Carey said. In case of rain, the fight will be moved indoors. "If we have terrible weather, we have an alternative," Carey added. "But if there's just a sprinkle or shower, we can put up a canvas. Or we can stop the bout, and when the rain is over, continue the match." Carey said that the objective of he and co-organizer Hal Rodriguez, owner of El Niagra restaurant, is to show young people the true sport of boxing in a "wholesome atmosphere." Carey began the Woodstock Boxing Club with Rodriguez and Chicago fight promoter Jack Cowen. He began boxing at age 12 and was an amateur fighter in high school and in the Army. 'I've always had an interest in the sport," Carey said. Boxing is not a ghetto sport, Carey said. He cited Gerry Cooney, Ray "Boom Boom" Mancini and Sugar Ray Leonard as examples of intelligent, middle-class youngsters who grew vf> to make it big. Matches will run between four and six rounds. It will be supervised by the Illinois Athletic Commission. There will be ring doctors on hand, Carey said. Through Monday, Carey said between 700 and 800 tickets have been sold. "We'll be able to tell by the end of this week how our advanced-ticket sales are going," he said.
