Boxers finalized and met all of their goals for this years trip this past Saturday. Matt Suniga and Christian Santibanez both met their goals on their last try. After coming up more than 15 seconds short on his 1600 time Matt's determination on the last day of training helped him (and his family) earn a trip up North. Christian Santibanez ONCE AGAIN waited until the last day to meet his goals.
A few boxers will be making their first amateur bout at this years Ringside World Championship tournament. Petey Contreras, Ramon Cardenas, Jonah Duron and Steven Escobedo will all be debuting in Kansas.

Martinez wins pro debut! Dec. 10, 2007
Jairo wasted no time this past week in Laredo, TX and got right to work from the opening bell. The always aggressive and entertaining style of Jairo had his opponent (Reyes Esqueda, Laredo. TX) back pedalling throughout the bout looking for the nearest exit.
Martinez applied the pressure throughout the fight to score the unanimous decison over the hometown favorite, Reyes Esqueda.
Both boxers weighed in at 124lbs.
Martinez is scheduled to fight again in late January 2008.
