Save Manny Pacquiao from politics and himself

Save Manny Pacquiao from politics and himself

This article generated thousands of views but a lot of angry comments from the die-hard Pac fans to go with it! lol I'm a Pac fan but I know a good boxer doesn't mean you're a good singer, actor, politician or even a mechanic!

Kansas City Golden Gloves Regional Tournament Results

The Trip to Kansas City covering the Regional Golden Gloves Tournament

This past weekend was a great experience for me as I had the opportunity to meet many fine people in the Kansas City boxing community. There are many prospects up there and I'm confident that the KC team will do well at the Nationals. I thought this was going to be a vacation but it was a lot of work getting the articles written. I'm still not finished as I'm getting ready to publish the results on the novice division at the finals. The videos are all posted on YouTube. I have uploaded a total of 450 videos which is around 220 bouts! The links to the articles are listed below the photos.

Boxer Profile: 2008 Golden Gloves Regional Champion, Jeffrey Page of Andover

Jeff Page was my first interview. Great modest guy and it was enjoyable getting to know him. Coach Johnny Pappin spoke highly of his hand speed which I didn't expect because I thought his arm muscles would inhibit his movement. I was wrong. lol Great read.

Profile: Villa Boxing Club Part 1

Israel and Jacob Villa were my second interview as the Wichita Boxing Examiner. I have the conversation recorded and filed. I'm going to save every interview, photos, videos and articles I write as a memorabilia. It'll always be accessible with the proper consent.

Back to the Villas, they are truly passionate about boxing and for their boxers. I wanted to convey their genuine love for the sport in this article along with the background and challenges of the gym. Meeting them will have you question your love for the sport because what they do is above and beyond of just a hobby. It's a passion for these guys. They tell it how it is and that is always respected. Straight forwardness only reveals integrity in one's character. That is something Israel and Jacob has.

NICO HERNANDEZ won his 4th straight National Silver Gloves by decision!!!

According to coach Lewis Hernandez:

Round 1: Jordan White took it by taking their game plan of counter punching with straights and uppercuts.

Round 2: Nico Hernandez took it. They changed their game plan to having Nico being the aggressor, slipping punches and throwing 4-punch combos. Effectively landed left hooks.

Round 3: Nico Hernandez took it by continuing with the game plan and Jordan White's corner couldn't answer it. 

Nico won it by decision in a close fight! Congratulations Nico to your 4th consecutive National Silver Gloves title!!!

Nico Hernandez: 4th straight to the National Silver Gloves finals

Nico will fight Jordan White of Waldorf, Maryland tonight! This will be a tough fight for both of them. I'm confident that Nico will pull it off. Spoke to Lewis earlier today and they have a game plan after viewing Jordan's fights and video. He said that there are a lot of supporters there for the DC boxers. A lot of them were scouting out Nico.

Next year, we need to make our presence there for Nico!
