Glendale Boxing Show

We took four boxers to the Glendale show where the Temperature was over 100 degrees. Three of our boxers competed. Gerardo started things off for us with an exciting one. Gerardo put his opponent on the canvas in the first round with an over hand right and going on to his first win and a great start. Great job Gerardo. John was up next and it was a tough fight. John came out with a victory on a doctor stoppage, and went on to be voted BEST BOXER of the show. Good job John. German was the last fight on the card and closed the show for us. German was great in his first fight and won on a referree stoppage and pulling out a sweep for us. It was a successful day for the team.

Special thanks to Glendale Boxing for a great show.
