Your airline pilot friend,

Please give Harry my best wishes in his title fight tomorrow night. I remember talking to Harry when he first turned pro and him telling me that I would see him on HBO fighting for a world title... Wow, I am really proud of him for chasing and finally obtaining this chance. Please let him know that I will be watching intently as he wins this title. Best of luck to Harry and the whole team.

Sincerely,

John Kelly and family

Been a while since we talked. I ain't even gonna ask how you are feeling cause I know you feel like you always do before a fight and there is no question in my mind that your ready. Wish we could make it up there boy but things are down everywhere, just know we are all there in our hearts boy cheering your name. It's interesting to me that all the best fighters who ever fought came from tough times and there was an abundance of them that were born from those times... use this to your advantage in every way possible able because you are are beacon of light baby! Stick this dude up Har... that jab and uppercut will rule this dudes world I know it. Sorry for the technicality but I cant help it cuz. I see a world title in the distance and it is a beautiful thing. If the thunder don't get ya then the lightning will!!!! Breathe baby breathe! Love ya boy. Cuz Jack

Harry, Champ, Lightning, whatever your choose,

Ted and I would like to thank you for the golf lesson yesterday and wish you the best in your boxing endeavors. Your professional approach to golf, if equaled in the ring, will insure your continuing success. As with putting on sandy greens, nothing is easy and I feel quite sure that is how you are approaching your next opponent. Keep up the great work ethic and positive approach to your career and good things will find their way to your door. I don't think you will have to work as hard as you do in your training on the golf course against J.LO. You can count on that cash EASY if you play the way you did yesterday with Ted and I. By my count you shot a very respectable 40 or 41. Not too shabby for a "second" sport. Thanks once again for a fun round of golf.

Dennis and Ted, the Home Mortgage

Harry,

Been following your career since the begining. You have put Bridgeport on the map in the minds of the boxing world. Your amateur career then your spectacular pro run. Your last fight against Hearns, we were all at Big Bill Wheelers and decided then to be with you when you become the # 1 contender. Looks like we will be with you there and when you become the undisputed champ in your division.

I ran into your pop the other day and spoke about your up coming fight. He is so proud of you as well as all of us from the port. As you well know this is typical with familys in this town.

Kick ass and bring home the championship belts you deserve for your hard work and dedication.

Go Harry! Alfredo Angulo will see the true heart and desire of a champion. What a great weekend that is going to be, Harry Joe on HBO, then Eagles vs. Cowboys on Sunday night football the next night!! Best of Luck

November 2, 2009 | Registered CommenterTeam Yorgey

Hey Harry,

I saw the Angulo fight listed. I will make sure to come up to Connecticut with some friends to watch, including a business guy I was telling you about who is now sponsoring me and some other fighters. He would be interested in the exposure you will receive should you win this fight. Train hard my friend.

Take Care,

Dr. Dave

November 2, 2009 | Registered CommenterTeam Yorgey

Harry,
I can't believe Angulo's team took this fight. They must be outt of their mind especially since Cintron exposed him. I know this is your coming out fight so work hard and good luck. It's your time to shine. Let me kow if there is a website that is taking bets on this because people don't have a clue of the kind of beating your gonna give this boy.

November 2, 2009 | Registered CommenterTeam Yorgey

This is Lightning Harry Joe Yorgey and I have been reading all of this love and support from everyone. I am so thankful to see all of this and believe me, this is on my mind when I am preparing for fights. These other fighters dont have a clue if they dont have fans like you. I am currently back in the gym training for the next fight. I was offered to fight for the World Title if Deandre Latimore beats Cory Spinks on Fri April 24, as I will be there at ringside. We are also tallking with Julio Caesar Chavez Jr. He is ranked #2 in the world I am now ranked #6th. Thanks again for everything and keep it coming cause I'm not stopping till the world knows about this guy from Bridgeport. I want to give a special thanks to my team:the Lord, Henry, Pop, Frank, Kurt, My Boy Ron, Artie & Banner promotions, and Robbie from the gym.

Harry Joe Yorgey~ I met you once I went to Philly to meet Grandma Yorgey and the rest of the family. She's my namesake Adenia Danielle. That's when I was in the 6th grade back in like 1996. I went back their with your Aunt Deenie (My Grandma) and papa Joe Spinelli and Aunt Debbie. I met the Yorgey's the Wagoners and the Spinelli's. It was Great! So it's such a privalege to see you on T.V. and the internet. WoW! I'm really proud of what you stand for, who you fight for, and how you made it to the top!!!! It would mean a lot to the cousins out here in California to support you by purchasing tickets and watching you in your glory. Are you coming out to Cali or Vegas any time soon?

Harry:
I haven't seen or talked to you in a long time, but I just wanted to drop you a line and let you know how proud everyone is of you, and how much you've done to put your community on the map. Keep up the good work, and say hello to your POP for me.

Way to go Harry Joe! Congrats on the win! And that was a slip in the 4th round, not a knockdown! You should use the West brothers as your sparring partners. Best of Luck in your next fight.

Congrats to Harry and his whole team on a dominating performance last night. Your defense is unheard of and your speed compliments it well. I wish nothing but the best for you and your family and can't wait to see your next fight. I've been a boxing fan my whole life and the fact that I get to see a Bridgeport fighter trained by a Conshy boy makes it all the better!

March 29, 2009 | Unregistered CommenterMark Chesky

Harry I am so happy for you. You worked for this since you were 9 yrs old and look at you now... you have two belts. Wow what a fight, I loved it. You are a great fighter and I am so proud of you. I love you. I can still picture you when you started boxing as a kid... you really deserve this. The kids are exited and waiting for you to come home. Cameron can't shut up about the belt... it's all he is talking about. He keeps saying, "Grandmom, when is my Dad coming home with the belt. We Love you.

I was at the fight Sat. night and watched Harry knock Hearns out... BEST fight that I have seen in a long time. I got to meet Harry after the fight. He is a very nice and caring man. I enjoyed everything about him and his skills. Thanks.

CONGRATULATIONS CUZ, SEE YOU WHEN YOU COME HOME WITH YOUR NEW BELT

March 29, 2009 | Unregistered Commenterjohn yorgey

Damm cutty, I seen you do some spectacular things in previous fights but I gotta say that this was an absolute amazing performance. You fought the perfect fight baby so congratulations! I have to take my hat off to that corner and all the work you put in with them. Thanks for disecting hearns in the tapes and putting a formula together that would totally astound Hearns, as well as me. Thanks to you boy for taking that formula believing in it sticking with it and finishing him. I was a total mess this fight, worried about you on the end of his power and on the outside. I could see he had power and speed but your punches made him look like he was in slow motion. You want to talk about speed... I dont think most people could actually comprehend how fast you have to be to come over the top of a a guy 5 inches taller, whose fast, has power and who is in a deep stance. Not to mention that you were doing at will. You fought the smartest most perfectly executed fight I have seen cuz. I am so proud of that performance! He couldnt understand why you were where you were the whole fight. You had him shook from the bell, as well as me. It's not that I don't believe in you cuz, but I just cant believe how easy you made that look. If I know anything about Tommy Hearns, he has his boy at the gym today looking for a rematch, but I dont know if the kid has the old man's heart. After that, I wouldn"t fight you again. I tried to tell em boy... if the thunder don't get ya, then the lighting will! Love ya! Congratulations to the whole team, as the smartest thing you did was get these guys in your corner. Love the uppercut, left and right hook... could ya hear me yellin: breath baby breath!! Cousin Dan"s house allmost collapsed when you took him out!

March 29, 2009 | Unregistered CommenterJack Martinez

Nice fight brother!!!! I have no voice left, but it was worth it! I knew you were going to knock him out. By the way, I put the so called knockdown in slow motion, and he stepped on your foot. You dominated him. I'm glad your boy was able to experience it with you.

March 29, 2009 | Unregistered CommenterMike Long

Harry, I just watched your fight on Showtime and I wanted to congratulate you on a devastating knock out!! I am eager to see your next fight! Congratulations on an outstanding victory! God bless you and your family.
