Brooklyn Barwick Weighs in Ahead of TBL Clash

Brooklyn Barwick weighed a flat 128 for her two rounds tomorrow in Boston. Barwick is a member of the Boston Butchers of Team Boxing League, where a group of boxers compete in one or two rounds as part of a team competition.

At the weigh-in, Barwick said the other fighters were acting like “hyenas.” She spoke up and told them to calm down. One of the Phoenix Fury told her to, “Shut up, fucking Jew.” Barwick, who wore a Star of David pendant, was pissed, but her coaches told her that while it was messed up, she should try to stay focused on the fight.

Barwick will face her friend Tierra Brandt in one round. The two showed respect for each other at the face-off and vowed to hang out after the fight. Brooklyn will face Brenda Hernandez in a “money” round.

Barwick is using the TBL to gain important experience. Her next pro bout is scheduled for May 16 in South Carolina. She then will face Grecias Novas in a rematch of a disputed decision loss.
