Just a note from the Coach about gangs:
Gangs have destroyed and are destroying so many lives today. Together we can move mountains but separated we keep each other down; and all gangs do is separate. Of course we love our people whether in gangs or not. We just hate what gangs do to people's lives and all the sad outcomes of participating in gangs. The saddest thing is when an innocent child, who doesn't know the consequences, gets taught th e gang lifestyle and never had a chance to live a positive life.
All boxers compete on a regular basis in and out of the state. If you are interested in sponsoring these young boxers that are featured on this site feel free to contact Richard Mirabal. Thank you.
