Our three fighters did great, 2 out of 3 of our guys won! Brian “Rattlesnake” Brooks KO’d his guy in the 2nd round in the 141 lb. class, Trevor Kotara won the heavyweight division. Devin Kramer did not win the 152 weight class, but he fought his heart out. It was his first fight, he went up against a real heavy hitter. The State Championships was a wonderful experience, 100′s of fighters from all around Arizona came to fight. So many were absolutely great boxers. Our little 95 punder Phillip Villarreal did not get matched up, we are looking to enter him in a smoke next month.
Special thanks to Phillips dad Marty for doing all the filming, which will be posted on the blog by or before Friday.

If you haven’t heard of Alan Kahn by now, then you are definetly missing out. He wrote the book on how to work the speed bag. A few years ago Alan was kind enough to stop in Irongloves for the day. He gave us a spectacular demonstration, man, you just couldn’t believe your eyes. Be sure to check out his website> SPEED BAG CENTRAL and here is his video clip page> DEMOS
