Great chemistry among the team & coaches made this a very fun trip. ALL photos have been posted to our
Facebook account. You can view them here: 2010 Ringside Photo Album If you don't have a facebook account, make one. Takes less than
5 minutes. Oh...and keep up, you're behind.

Julian Ramos - In only the 2nd bout of his short amateur career Julian proved he belonged. Although the kid he boxed (Davelle Smith,
Lakster, IL) was bigger & stronger than him he remained aggressive and made the kid work for the win. A
Christopher "Santos" Martinez - "Santos" was the surprise of the bunch. He reached the finals with two impressive victories using he
leg movement and "punches in bunches" approach. He dropped a decision in the finals to a more experienced better boxer. A
Pete Contreras Jr. - "Petey" was forced to deal with the hand that was dealt to him. Mother nature decided to play a cruel joke on him
and decided to make his shorts smaller, shirts tighter, shoes smaller and give him a new haircut. All this adds up to one thing, confusion.
He fought well but was unable to deal with the sudden growth spurt that kept him off balance. Once he "catches up" to his body he'll be a
nightmare of a boxer for anyone who steps in the ring with him. A
Victor Trevino - Trevino suffered the first blemish on his record at the hands of David Perez of Ft. Worth. This fight could have easily
gone our way. Close bout. A
Jonah Duron - Duron won his first bout by walkover and lost his 2nd bout by 2-1 dec. Had there been 5 judges this bout could have
gone our way as well. A
Jason Ramos - Ramos was in his first outing against a boxer, Hennry Arredondo, San Antonio, TX with 8 bouts. Although Ramos lost the
bout he didn't lose it by backpedaling or NOT wanting to fight. He fought. Fought well. He was on Arredondo until the final bell but Henry
had landed the cleaner shots for the clear victory. A
Ramon Cardenas - Cardenas was determined from the get-go. He told everyone he was going to win and he did. He backed up his
words. He did it by applying pressure and making anyone he was facing fight. After the first fight Ramon knew the Open division National
Title would be much harder to earn than last years Novice title. Ramon was able to avenge a loss from 2 years ago in the finals by
beating Carlton Gray of Maryland. A
Cresencio Ramos - Ramos....same story, different year. There has to be something planned out for this kid cause he can't seem to
catch any breaks at the National level. Regardless of his shortcomings he has a big future. A
Christian Santibanez - Affter a VERY impressive victory in his first outing the weight caught up with him. Fighting close to 15 pounds
over his natural weight he was able to get away with one victory but didn't have the fire-power he once had at 114. A
Steven Duron - "Slim's" first fight had us thinking, "belt". He scored a win over a very good boxer from Denver. In his 2nd bout he went
back to his old style of taking two to give one. This time, it didn't work. His opponent Robert O'quinn from Detroit forced three standing
eight counts in the third round and called a halt to the bout. Duron was up on points at the time. A
Ray Cordova - Ray has finally come out of his shell and it's showing. He'll be fighting against a boxer from Randazzo's in a few weeks as
the "main event" and I chose him cause of this. His handspeed and good chin will continue to help him compete against the best.
Jose Boniguili - This was his first trip away from home. Good vacation. A
Steven Escobedo - Part of our B Team Escobedo was allowed to compete due to our boxers voting. He not only competed but brought
back the belt. He scored 2 RSC's in 4 bouts and was on the verge of stopping his 3rd opponent in the finals as the bell sounded.
Pablo Moreno - was the guniea pig this year. There was a chance he could have won this bout had I not stopped it. There's no point in
training for 6 weeks then going to a major tournament and NOT DO what you were taught. A
