Refereeing at the 2003 Eastern Olympic Trials

My name's George Phillips and I've been interested in boxing since Sonny Liston was Heavyweight Champ! Then this brash knucklehead came along named Cassius Clay and boxing became embedded in my spirit. I started collecting boxing memorabilia back then and never stopped. No baseball, soccer, basketball or ping-pong for me. No sir, the boxing bug bit and there's no turning back. Since then I've become involved in Amateur Boxing, first as a certified Referee and Judge for USA Boxing, and then becoming Chief of Officials for CT. I've refereed and judged hundreds of bouts and been lucky enough to be used up to and including the finals in The Eastern Olympic Trials, The US Men's and Women's Nationals, The Men's Under 19 Nationals, The National Golden Gloves, The PAL Nationals, and The Jr. Olympic Nationals. I've also had the privilege of serving as the Jr. Olympic Chief of Officials for Region 1 for the last 2 years, which consists of New York, New Jersey and New England. I've also just joined the Board of Directors for the Connecticut Boxing Hall of Fame. I've applied for my Pro. license too, so let's see if the luck can continue. I sure hope so.
