Deontae Simmons won the The Progressive Amateur Boxing Association Houston Golden Gloves Championship in the 165lb sub-novice weight class. The win was impressive because Deonte had to fight and win five nights in a row. What’s more four of his five wins were by TKO! That feat landed him the “Most Outstanding Boxer” award in the entire sub-novice division.
