150lbs. contest between 2010 US National 141lbs. Silver Medallist and 2010 National PAL 141lbs. runner-up Mike Reed (United States) and the current Irish U21 Champion, Irish Intermediate 69kg (152lbs.) Champion and 69kg (152lbs.) 2010 Commonwealth Games Gold Medallist Paddy Gallagher (Ireland) --from the 2011 Belfast-Beltway Classic from the Western Center in Washington, DC. Reed was named Outstanding Boxer for the night.
Belfast-Beltway Boxing Classic was held at the Westin City Center Hotel in Washington, D.C. for the 3rd year. The boxers from Ireland are from Catholic- and Protestant-sponsored Belfast boxing clubs and traveled to Washington, D.C. for a week to participate in the event. For many of the boys, this was their first trip outside the neighborhoods in which they had grown up. In addition to the event, they spent the week touring the city, and trained at local gyms where they met the D.C. team and coaching staff.
