Fight Night
Lance Cpl. Joseph T. Tardio from 3rd Radio Battalion jabs at Lance Cpl. Joshua L. Campbell, a heavy-equipment mechanic with Combat Service Support Battalion 7, during a June 11 boxing match.
When 1st Sgt. David P. Perry, a former Golden Gloves boxer from Maryville, Tenn, noticed that his 3/24 Lima Co. Marines were sparring with each other on concrete floors, he decided to give that pent up aggression a safe outlet.
He began training them and soon acquired the necessary equipment to get the event going. “I had to beg and borrow,” Perry said. “But I eventually got it up and going.”
At the first Friday night fight on June 11, nearly 500 Marines showed up to watch 28 amateur boxers participate in 14 bouts. This drew the largest attendance of any base event.
Perry added, “It took me about two weeks to get this thing started. I don’t think anyone here was disappointed.”
