ROCKFORD, IL JANUARY 5, 2025 :The atmosphere crackled with anticipation at Rockford’s Flinn Middle School this past weekend as it played host to the thrilling Regional Silver Gloves Tournament. The highlight of the event was undoubtedly Jojo Awinongya’s spectacular performance. In a blistering display of skill and ferocity, Jojo decimated his opponent, Bryson Lott, from Nebraska, in a mere 39 seconds of the first round. From the moment the bell rang, Jojo unleashed a relentless barrage of punches, rendering Bryson unable to find his footing.
