AS WE ALL KNOW, THE MOST IMPORTANT PERSON IN THE HOUSE DURING ONE OF OUR SHOWS IS THE DOCTOR. WITHOUT A DOCTOR, NO EVENT WOULD TAKE PLACE. THEREFORE, THE PACIFIC NORTHWEST ASSN. WOULD LIKE TO RECOGNIZE THE FOLLOWING TWO PHYSICIANS FOR THEIR DEDICATED SERVICE TO AMATEUR BOXING:

ANTOINE JOHNSON, M.D.
PHILLIP REILLY, M.D.

THESE TWO GENTLEMEN HAVE PROVIDED THIS ASSN. WITH EXCELLENT MEDICAL CARE TO HELP KEEP OUR BOXERS HEALTHY.
