If there’s one thing that SunUte Community Center in Ignacio has proven able to do time and again, it’s hosting fairly large-scale, large-attendance sporting events.

And it looks as though there will be another one coming its way Saturday evening, Sept. 26.

Presented by Too Hott To Handle Boxing, GB Boxing’s Fall Throwdown will bring together amateur fighters from around the region for an event sanctioned by USA Boxing which will get underway at 5:00 p.m.

Admission for the Throwdown has been set at $10.00. For more information – including fight fixtures – the contacts are George Manzanares, 970-759-0903 or Brian Frost, 970-749-2996.
