Taco’s Team

That’s dirty. Oh well, good luck brother.
Congrats to Kev too. Looked so comfortable in the ring sparring when I saw him. He has good teammates with age and size advantage who let him work lol

Thanks my dude. Collin boxed his heart out and lost a split. Easily won the first, lost the second and I thought he won the third. Dude had good pressure and USA boxing rewards that aggression. Collin boxed his ears off moving backwards. The kid looked stellar

In Detroit with Tia for the national golden gloves tourney. First fight is Tuesday and it’s looking like a favorable match up for us. She’s at weight and locked in. Looking forward to our teams first fight on the national stage

Tia was absolutely positively fucking robbed. We were warned that ring 3 had been having some funky decisions and sure as hell we “lost” a 3/2 split despite clearly winning 2 rounds and having a 60/40 third round

Im gobsmacked. The opponent was head down looking dejected while they read the decision and looked shocked when her hand was raised.

@Sinister the opponent was from Texas, so fucking of course.

 

[Sinister]

Yeah Texas, Cali, and NY. If you're fighting them you're getting f*cked.

The national golden gloves are over and I’m finally home to pet my dogs and harass my wife.

We had a young man from Oregon lose a close one in the finals, and a woman from Seattle win the 132lb bracket. The rest of the team from Oregon, Nevada, Washington and Arizona all got picked off in or before rhe semi finals.

My big take away for next year is realizing how much the GG’s reward fighting over boxing. Where as USA Boxing rewards and pressure, golden gloves seems to reward power and aggression far more. If you’re going to out “slick” your opponent you need to be violent in your counter shots.
