  1. It's a fact, the title above the Nanaimo Boxing Club was IT'S BETTER TO BUILD A BOY THAN MEND A MAN . Now at the tender age of 5 years old I did not have a clue the meaning of said statement was nor the significance but over my 56 years of existence I know now that statement was the foundation of NANAIMO BOXING CLUB . Now you can call it whatever but this was a school. One with integrity commitment and sense of community for the youth in Nanaimo.. I am an eyewitness to these facts. After reading your beautifully laid out journalist blog. Self centred narcissism lacking key facts and truths on the actual true history regarding NANAIMO BOXING CLUB cannot go any further. This is exactly what my family title above our former boxing club stands for standing up to BULLIES like yourself Mr.B.S. ZELLEY.That being said I am disgusted that are in so sort of hall of fame.Hall of fame is for individuals who have contributed life long accomplishments not riding on fooling naive readers on the TRUTHS. I AM ASHAMED THAT YOU ARE IN ANY SORT OF RECOGNITION FOR SCUM LIKE YOURSELF. That being said the readers of the the blog will fully understand where my Father MR. LESLIE VARRO head Coach and President and founder of the landmark school NANAIMO BOXING CLUB along with his partner and wife the beautiful always cheering on every boxer and behind the scenes BACKBONE of the NANAIMO BOXING CLUB MRS.HELEN VARRO. Yes it's is true the very FIRST registered B.C.A.B.A. female judge. Yes sir a veteran of judging over 1000 tournaments all over North America. Plus 1994 Commenweath Games in Victoria head official in charge of scorekeeping.Now for myself 1976 Vancouver Island Champion in 70 lbs. Division.I fought undefeated boxer Dale Walters in the 1978 Emerald Gloves Final at the PNE GARDENS. In have 2 Junior Golden Gloves titles.1982 I fought hometown favourite Gary Woods in 147 Division and in the final I defeated an American boxer from Tacoma Wash.Alan Brown and I were the only Canadian fighters to win Gold that year 1982 Junior Golden Gloves in Campbell River. 1984My last amateur bout was a loss to a very tough Cecil Grey in 1988. For all the lovers of BOXING want an eyewitness truthful rendition regarding the school my family ran with blood SWEAT tears email me at svarro94@gmail.com .I pull no punches this was my life unbiased TRUTH... BRIAN ZELLEY I forgive you but you did nothing for the youth in Nanaimo STOP riding my family's accomplishments be a man make your own path hopefully to my place where you deserve a SHOT in the mouth speaking of course man to man something you fall short of...PSand that's the politics of why I am not involved in amateur boxing.
