===The Junior Boxing Days, 1984=== |
|||
The year was 1984, and it would be four years before Sobral would be |
|||
part of the Canadian Olympic Boxing team of 1988. |
|||
Two key events that would demonstrate his potential in 1984 were |
|||
the 1984 Junior Golden Gloves and the 1984 Canadian junior national |
|||
boxing championships. |
|||
The Junior Golden Gloves: |

|||
*The event took place on April 28, 1984 at the Boxing BC Training Centre |
|||
in Burnaby, BC. Manny would be one of 13 contested champions in the |
|||
lightweight division. Another boxer of note in that tournament was |
|||
bantamweight boxer Tony Duffy. Duffy would win the Jr. Golden Boy Award |
|||
and Sobral would be the Golden Bou runner-up. |
|||
Ring officials of that tournament would include, the Olympic referee |
|||
Bert Lowes, Fred Fuller, Ron Whalley, Sid Knopp, Rudy Bianco, Al Young, |
|||
Bob Newbrook, Earl Vance, Jim Gallagher, Vic Murdoch, Larry Krangle, |
|||
Jack Mellor and Brian Zelley. Serving as the glover was former |
|||
AAU light-heavyweight champion Lindy Lindmoser. |
|||
The Canadian Junior Nationals Boxing Championships: |
|||

|||
In the 1984 tournament, Sobral would win a bronze, |
|||
but beyond that year, Sobral would improve on a yearly basis |
|||
to make the 1988 Olympic boxing team four years later. |
