Welcome to Zeke, Irongloves newest Boxing Coach. We are honored to have him! Zeke is beyond MOTIVATING, he is down right INSPIRATIONAL when it comes to teaching boxing. I have to say…. ‘Bar None’ I have the best team of boxing coaches ever there was. I feel very fortunate to have every one of them. Thanks to: Rory Hoffner, Tony Corona, Rob Monroe, Zeke Cardenas, and Stevie Davis (until he leaves us to go back to England). Also, we cannot forget Perin Kim, our young assistant. We plan to have the best year yet, here’s to 2009.

If you have been to Irongloves then you know all about Laurie “Tex” Schwab. She is a Speed Bag Devil. All the guys sort of slump down when she gets to banging the bag.

Jerson is currently training at Irongloves. He is Jean Pascal’s sparring partner. Jerson has a movie/documentary that just came out, called ‘Ravelo the Movie’, it premiered November 11th, 2008 in New York City.

Sebastian Demers is currently training at Irongloves Boxing Gym.
The video is him fighting Arthur Abraham, which Demers lost.
Demers is wearing black trunks. The video is in German language; can’t understand
it here in the U.S., but, at least you can see his swift style.

It is interesting to hear their (England) views on him and how highly they rate him.
Just for the record: Here in Arizona we highly favor Pascal.

Jean Pascal is back at Irongloves Boxing Gym training for his upcoming fight
against Carl Froch on December 6th, 2008.

Talk about an incredible line-up for the years end:
(these are free fights, they are not PayPerView - hooray!)

10/18  Kelly “The Ghost” Pavlik vs Bernard “The Executioner” Hopkins
11/08  Joe Calzaghe vs Roy Jones Jr.
11/15  Jermaine “Bad Intentions” Taylor vs Jeff “Left Hook” Lacey
11/22  Ricky “Hitman” Hatton vs Paulie “Magic Man” Malignaggi
12/06  Oscar De La Hoya vs Manny Pacquiao
12/13  Wladimir Klitschko vs Alexander Povetkin

The first drill in the video clip is one that we do using a tennis ball. This drill is a good one for agility and footwork. The second part of the video are of Chris, Rory, and Tony doing some hurdling, or rather should I say… ‘being crazy’.
