DONDINO SINGS AT PRAIRIE MEADOWS BOXING EVENT





Dondino sang the National Anthem at the Prairie Meadows Event Center on November 29, 2007 for the Boxing Event featuring Ronald Hearns and James Buggs, Jr. Middleweight. Hearns won the decision.
Attending the event were Special Guest boxing champions Thomas "Hitman" Hearns and Sugar Ray Leonard.

Dondino and Sugar Ray were together in Las Vegas for another boxing promotion several years ago, and were surprised to see each other in Iowa.

One of the highlights of the night was when Thomas "Hitman" Hearns called Sugar Ray Leonard out for another fight.
The craziest moment was when the arrival of Antwan Robertson in the ring wearing a Superman outfit for his Jr. Bantamweigth match. His ring name is Superman, and he won the bout.
