QUIZ
Youngstown has had a number of sports arenas dating back to the early 1900's that hosted professional boxing. Can you name them?
Clues. One was located on West Boardman Street ... one was located on West Rayen Ave. ... one was located on Oak Hill near Mahoning Avenue.
We went out for the fight (bw3's) and it was great to watch a guy from y-town make it big. The crowd was excited and every time "youngstown" was said on tv a cheer went up. It was nice to see people actually be proud of our city.
The media was in awe over the numbers of Youngstowners who were there to cheer Kelly on and said that when it looked bad for him, they cheered him on all the louder. The cheering was so loud that on the clips that Dan Rivers played you had a hard time hearing the announcer. It's fantastic that the world was hearing something positive about our town.
A REMATCH IS SCHEDULED AS KELLY DEFENDS HIS TITLE AND I HOPE THAT THE AREA GIVES HIM TWICE THE SUPPORT ... HE'S EARNED IT.
A very great article about Kelly and the people of Youngstown.

Someone posed this question today.
Will Kelly Pavlik have to pay Youngstown city income tax on his earnings from winning the fight? It's been stated that he lives on the south side of Youngstown.

According to my co-worker/accountant, he will probably pay city income taxes on his earnings.
