Gamespeed’s newest olympian Marlo (Deon) Moore on to Rio!!!!

Congratulations to Deon Moore for his four bout victories to make the US Olympic Boxing Team. Marlo spent his last month of preparation at Gamespeed polishing his athleticism with Aaron Thigpen. A training partner of Andre Ward he is following in the footsteps of the bay areas former Olympic champ.

Super heavyweight Marlo Moore (Hayward, Calif.) wasn’t one of the favorites entering the 2016 Olympic Trials for Men’s Boxing but he proved he belonged with four victories in Reno. A product of renowned trainer Virgil Hunter’s gym, Moore entered Saturday night as the winners bracket champion. He took on challengers bracket champion Brandon Lynch (Albany, N.Y.) in the final bout of the evening with his teammate Andre Ward looking on from ringside. He completed his improbable run to an Olympic Trials title with a 3-0 victory over Lynch. “I’m feeling good, it just hasn’t sunk in. We put the last win in the back and moved on and here we are, on our way to Rio,” Moore said. “It’s an amazing feeling, words can’t describe it.”

Steven Farinaro returns to GS roots after time away.

GS Welcomes to its training bullpen Steven Farinaro. Drafted in 2013 in the 11th round by the Cardinals Steve trained with GS as a prep while attending Head Royce. Glad to have you back in our lineup!

By Chad Thornburg / MLB.com | June 8th, 2013

The Cardinals’ “cost certainty” strategy of Day 2 paid off with Saturday’s first selection: Steven Farinaro, a right-handed pitcher from Head-Royce School (Calif.) at No. 335 overall.

With flexible cap room heading into Day 3 of the First-Year Player Draft, the Cardinals selected the prep pitcher whom scouting director Dan Kantrovitz estimates it may take significant resources to lure away from his college commitment to UCLA.

Kantrovitz said Farinaro, one of 20 players to attend the Cardinals’ pre-draft workout last Tuesday at Busch Stadium, has first- and second-round talent, but […]

Former Oregon Safety Erick Dragan getting ready for in season pickup.

Welcome to Erick Dragan. The former Duck Safety is working on that ever so important 40y dash time. A good time can make the difference in signing or sitting. Scouting reports says he has all the tools just needs to improve his speed. Well, that’s what we do.

NFL Analysis

Strengths

Strong football intelligence. Shenanigan-buster — sees reverses and misdirection plays and puts an end to them. Often plays near the box or over slot receiver. Shows good route recognition and reacts with adequate quickness to cuts. Uses quick, easy backpedal in coverage as deep safety and made 13 interceptions over last three years thanks to soft hands. Mirrors runners and keeps them in front of him. Unfolds arms into wide net and finishes as tackler. Must have led the nation in awkward, shoestring tackles, but he got the job done. Plays on all four special teams units and recovered an onside kick in 2014.

Weaknesses

Lacking desired long speed and athleticism. Does fine reacting laterally to cuts, but hips are clunky and slow to open when asked to flip and run against vertical throws. Productive as ballhawk, but missing NFL-caliber […]

Stephenson back at Gamespeed, 40 man roster in his sights for 2016.

Gamespeed product Robert Stephenson is back again for his off season pitchers conditioning program at GS. In his seventh year of GS training with Aaron Thigpen he is closer than ever in his goal to reach the big leagues. He was very close this year but the organization wanted to see have more innings.

Latest story on Robert:

C. Trent Rosecrans, crosecrans@enquirer.com

No decision has been made — Reds manager Bryan Price wanted to make that clear — but connect the dots, and it sure seems the Reds, or Price at least, want top prospect Robert Stephenson joining the team when rosters expand in September.

Stephenson was scheduled to return from the disabled list at Triple-A Louisville on Thursday. He’s been on the DL since suffering cramps in his throwing wrist on Aug. 12.

The right-hander is not currently on the 40-man roster, but will have to be added this offseason anyway.

“Those are conversations I’ll have with (general manager) Walt (Jocketty) when we finalize the roster of guys that are coming up,” Price said. “I […]

Super heavyweights Glanton, Moore going for gold

By: Scott Kaniewski

Published: June 27, 2015

The USA men’s boxing teams haven’t won gold in more than a decade and haven’t taken home a medal since 2008.

Brandon Glanton and Marlo Moore are both dreaming of gold.

Glanton and Moore each won super heavyweight semifinals (over 201 pounds) on Friday to qualify for the U.S. Olympic boxing trials.

Deontay Wilder was the last American male to win an Olympic medal and the same boxer brought a heavyweight title back to American shores.
