IT WAS A JOKE MRS LEY BUT I RECENTLY VISITED THE INDIO BOXING CLUB AND THESE KIDS LOOKED VERY GOOD. THEY ARE HARD TRAINERS AND VERY DISIPLINED I DONT KNOW IF ITS CAUSE THE AMOUNT OF RESPECT THEY HAVE FOR THERE COACHES OR JUST THE SIMPLE FACT THAT THEY ARE TRAINING IN AN ENVIROMENT OF VARIOUS GOOD PROFESIONALS EITHER WAY THEY LOOKED GOOD AND IM PROUD TO HAVE THEM IN OUR DISTRICT. BUT GABINO SAENZ (MENS OPEN DIV) 125LB WEIGHT CLASS. IS ONE TO LOOK OUT FOR I SEE THIS KID HAVING A BIG IMPACT IN AMATUER BOXING HE JUST WON THE NATIONAL PALS IN OXNARD ALONG WITH THE USA MENS DISTRICT TOURNAMENT ALONG WITH OTHER VARIOUS TOURNAMENTS IN THE PAST. ANOTHER 1 TO KEEP AN EYE OUT FOR IS MANUEL(BABY)RODRIGUEZ 10 YRS OLD 100 LBS LOOKED VERY SHARP IN THE FINALS @ THE NATIONAL SILVER GLOVES TO BAD HE LOSSED 3-2 BUT HE RETAINED THE SPORTSMANSHIP AWARD WHICH IS A VERY BIG ACOMPLISHMENT AT THAT AGE. I WAS VERY HAPPY FOR HIM TO COME OUT OF OUR LBC ALONG WITH VERY MANY OTHER FIGHTERS THAT MADE IT TO THE NATIONAL SILVER GLOVES COMING OUT OF THIS DISTRICT. IT MAKES ME PROUD TO KNOW THAT WE HAVE ALOT OF VERY GOOD AMATUERS COMING OUT OF THE SO CAL DISTRICT.

YEA SHARP KIDS JOEL,RUBEN,DOMINIC,JP,GABINO,MANUEL(BABY) UNFORTUNATELY BABY WAS THE ONLY ONE THAT MADE IT TO THE NATIONALS TO BAD HE LOSSED 3-2 IN THE FINALS IT WAS A VERY CLOSE AND INTENSE FIGHT BABY DROPPED THE KID WITH A STRAIGHT LEFT IN THE SECOND RD BUT UNFORTUNATELY THE OFFICIALS DIDNT SEE IT HIS WAY. THE MESSED UP PART ABOUT IT IS THAT THEY RAISED HIS HAND ANNOUNCED HIM AS THE WINNER GAVE HIM THE BELT ALONG WITH THE UNIFORM THEN ABOUT 5 MINUTES LATER CALLED HIM BACK UP TO THE RING SAID THEY MADE AN ERROR AND GAVE IT TO THE OTHER GUY. BUT HE RECIEVED THE SPORTSMANSHIP AWARD WHICH WAS A COOL ACHIEVMENT AND AS FOR GABINO I HEARD HE JUST WON THE NATIONAL PALS AND THE USA MENS DISTRICT TOURNAMENT YEA THESE KIDS LOOK REAL GOOD THIS YEAR. COOL COACHES. VERY DOWN TO EARTH

I happen to agree with you about the Indio boxers - but thought it would be much nicer to discuss them, too! Gabino did well at the PAL last year and will be going to the U.S. Championships with the PAL team in June. He competed in the So. Calif. districts but gave up that spot to the very good, but not as experienced, opponent he beat. He looked pretty good - a bit rusty as he hasn't been competing regularly. The coaches are totally dedicated and the club's head coach is former world champion Antonio Diaz who, with his staff, has done a remarkable job with the boxers.
