Boxing: Stacked lineup for sixth annual smoker

The crosstown boxing smoker is back for its sixth year, with a fight card that has spread around the Flathead Valley. The bouts begin at 6:30 p.m. today at the Trade Center at the Flathead County Fairgrounds with doors set to open at 5:30.

The card will have 13 bouts featuring boys and girls from five area schools, each fight consisting of three one-minute rounds. Tickets are $20 for ringside seats, $15 for adult general admission and $10 for student general admission. They are available at Twisted Bliss, Glacier Wholesalers and Universal Athletics.

The smoker is a fundraiser for the high school and Little Guy wrestling programs in the area, having raised more than $50,000 to date.

Money raised is used for camp and college scholarships, second-day meals for the high school teams, equipment purchases and to pay stipends for extra coaches.

Once a battle between the Kalispell schools, the event has grown in popularity. The bouts feature 13 Flathead student-athletes, four each from Glacier and Columbia Falls and two from Whitefish and Bigfork.
