Nathan Millier : Boxer(boxing record as recorded in Box Rec)
Nathan made his pro debut in June of 2010,
but has had only a few bouts over these years.
It becomes difficult to assess his future in the
sport of boxing, but maybe he will continue
the journey in 2013.
THE PRO DEBUT:
The pro debut took place in June 2010 against
another starter in Moncton, New Brunswick
against one Josh Smith. For Smith this appears
to be his only pro bout.

Pier Olivier Cote : Canadian Boxer
PIER OLIVIER COTE by Brian Zelley
(Photo appeared in "La Soleil"
with a story by Carl Tardif.
It was November 2011 when Dave Spencer
wrote the story with the following headline:
"Cote destroys Teron"
* at the time Pier Olivier Cote was described
as a rising Canadian boxing star. And, the
boxing journey continues.
2008 Prospect Of The Year
* It was 2008, when Pier was voted by Fight News
"Prospect of the year". And from 2008 to 2011, he
would continue to rack-up victories.
It was 2011, when Cote would defeat Teron by a KO
to earn the vacant IBF Inter-Continental title.
* A year later, Cote travelled to England to
score another victory inside the distance with
a victory over Mark Lloyd in Nottingham.
Beyond Nottingham, England
Not much has been done by Cote since is victory
in England, but with a winning recored, it would
be interesting to see Cote back in the thick of the
ring action.

To recogonize the boxers, trainers, mnagers and athe

* Sebastien has had only a few pro fights in 2011 and 2012,
but he has two lineded-up for March in Montreal and Quebec City.
Depending on the results of those two bouts if they come to pass

With action in Quebec, one should expect positive results in
future years, so time will tell.

Stuart McLellan begins the journey
Stuart is a Williams Lake boxer who is the brother
of Professional boxer Roberto McLellan. Both Stuart and Roberto

in Richmond, BC in a four rounder. Some other boxers on the card
were Egerton Marcus, Andy Mavros, Kevin Reynolds,
Shane Andreesen and Darryl Flint.
In 2007, Stuart would have two more bouts at River Rock, but
in 2008 he would be showcased in Williams Lake in a home town
professional boxing card at the Williams Lake arena along with his
brother Roberto. Also, one of the judges was former boxer Lance Gray
making his debut as a professional boxing judge. Lance would follow
up with another assignment in Williams Lake in 2009 in a card which
included boxing brothers Roberto and Stuart McLellan.
Then would come a bout at the Roll-A-Dome in Prince George, and
later a couple of bouts in Calgary, Alberta and Medicine Hat.

OPPORTUNITY AND ACTIVITY vs CONVENIENCE
THE ROAD AHEAD: by Brian Zelley
Effective promotions of Professional boxing in Western Canaada:
"Vast vision must improve our sight" - Opportunity vs Convenience
* There are many schools of thought about effective and efficient promotion
of professional boxing with two clear paths for the future:
The Pro-Am shows vs Opportunity for the prelim boxers.
There are likely advantages and disadvantages for both means of selling
the product. But, what is the right path for the future of professional
boxing? In my opinion, the pro-am card is a sell-out to those prelim
boxers that are just starting on the professional boxing journey.

Th pro boxing journey of Frank White:
Looking back, the beginning of the story takes place in 2006
when he made his pro debut in Boston in a four rounderwhich
did not have any high profile boxers, but for Sarnia's Frank White
it was the beginning.
Between 2006 and 2008, Frank would lose a couple of bouts along
the way to Kevin Reynolds and Ryan Henney. But then would come
his shot at a Canadian title.
It was 2008, in Edmonton when he won the decision over Ryan Henney
and the Canadian cruiserweight title. But, in 2010 at Edmonton it
would be Henny that would win the decision and the title over Frank White.
That loss was followed by more in 2011 and 2012, but on March 2, 2013
a new year and a new Frank White would arrive in Moncton to prove
that the popular Frank White is still in the fight with a nice victory over
Sandy Robb who came into the fight undefeated in ten or so fights.
