We are going on our 4th year of business.
In three short years, Aleman Boxing Fresno has become the most accomplished gym in Fresno History.

Dec. 15, 2011  

Hello, my name is Frank Aleman.  I am the president and volunteer coach of Aleman Boxing Fresno’s amateur boxing club.  Since 1987, I have been involved in amateur boxing and pro boxing. No longer a boxer myself, my choice was to work with underprivileged and at risk youth of Central California.  In 2008 I started out on my own and built a youth based amateur boxing club and boxing gym.  What was born was the Aleman Boxing Fresno: Boxing Club and Fitness Center (ABF).  We are located in Southeast Fresno, CA.  We are registered as part of the Central California Association of the United States Amateur Boxing Inc.   

The reason for opening this club was to give kids and young adults a place to really learn the sport of boxing where they didn’t have to pay much money.  We are also open to those just looking to get in shape doing a fun and different kind of workout then they would get anywhere else.  People also join our gym to learn self defense and get self confidence.  

After four years of being open the Aleman Boxing Fresno has become the most nationally successful amateur boxing club in the history of Fresno.  

I am still looking for a major sponsor of our club and hoping to get the community behind me to support this effort in giving kids a positive outlook in life through boxing and looking for the next great champion!   

Amateur boxing is the same as Olympic boxing.  Amateur clubs like this one are where the next United States Olympians are chosen from.  The ages of boxers able to compete are 8 years to 34 years old.  Safety of all the boxers is the most important thing in amateur boxing.  Headgear is worn in every match and the gloves are padded more than those of the pros.  Amateur boxing teaches discipline, courage and honor.  Unlike high school sports which are seasonal and funded by the state, amateur boxing survives solely through the generosity of business and people like you.  We receive no city or state funding.  

Amateur boxing is a year long sport.  Throughout California, weekly matches are made and we travel to these bouts, taking kids from our club.  We offer this to our kids totally free of charge: the travels to cities up and down California, Nevada, Missouri, Utah, Colorado, Arizona and our time.             

We have been open now going on four years and in that time of competing, 2008-2011, members of our club have been in action all over the country, including major tournaments like the US National Champinships, the National Golden Gloves, the National Jr. Olympics, the Police Athletic League (PAL) National Championships, the National Jr Golden Gloves, the International Desert Showdown and the National Silver Gloves.  

In 2009 we had our first national champion.  But it was not only our first champion as a club, but Fresno’s first National Champion ever in the Silver Gloves tournament.  Gary Salazar won the 112lb Silver Gloves National Championship in the 12-13 year old division and then he did it all over in 2010 repeating as the Silver Gloves National Champion, this time in the 14-15 year old, 112lbs division.  Then in 2010, Gary Salazar became Fresno’s first boy to win the National USA Boxing Jr Olympic Gold Medal.  In 2009 we had a young man named Mikey Ruiz finish second at the National Golden Gloves Championship, the furthest any Fresnan had ever gotten in that tournament.  Mikey also earned a bronze medal at the US Men’s National tournament in Denver, CO.  In many other tournaments we have won several other awards including: Golden Gloves CCA, Region 11 & State Championship, Jr. Olympic CCA, Region 11 and National Champion, PAL State champion, a Bronze and Silver medal at the PAL National Championships, Silver Gloves CCA, State, US Western Regional and National Titles.  

A list of amateur boxers that have trained here includes many kids, teens and young adults.  To name a few and who they are: Gary Salazar, Mikey Ruiz, Jorge Ruiz, Osmel Avila and Jett Blackwell.   

Jett Blackwell, 10 years old has began to blossom as a amateur boxer. In 2010 Jett won the 8-9 California State Silver Gloves Championship and in 2011 Blackwell won the 9-10 year old 110lbs National Jr Golden Gloves and the 9-10 year old 110lbs International Desert Showdown.  

Gary Salazar, 16.  Gary is one of the best up and coming boxers in the country and just won the 2011 USA Boxing National Jr Olympic Gold Medal.  In February he three-peated as the 2011 National Silver Gloves Champion.  In 2009 and 2010 he won the National Silver Gloves Championship in Missouri, 2009 and 2011 National Jr. Golden Gloves Championship in Mesquite, NV & 2009 International Desert Showdown World Amateur Boxing Championship in Coachella, CA.  He has competed over 100 times in the ring.  In 2007 he won National PAL Championship.  Gary’s next great challenge will be the 2012 Olympic Games representing the homeland of his father, Guatemala.                       

Michael Ruiz Jr., 22, was ranked number 3 in the nation with United States Amateur Boxing.  Mikey has since turned professional and now has a record of 8-1-1.  In 2009, Mikey won the bronze medal at the US Men’s National Championships in Denver, CO and the silver medal in the 2009 National Golden Gloves in Salt Lake City, UT.  He also earned a Silver Medal at the 2008 PAL National Championships and was a bronze medalist at the 2008 US Men’s National Championships.  Not only did he represent Aleman Boxing Fresno in 2009 but all of the United States, as he was chosen by USA Boxing to compete against in Great Britain in a international meet in 2009.   

Jorge Ruiz, 10, is now competing with us and improving everyday.  With 45 bouts under his wing he has been the crowd favorite at every show he has competed in.  In 2009, in Coachella, CA at the International Desert Showdown, he came away with the Championship belt for eight year olds and in 2010 Jorge won the State Silver Gloves Championship.  

Osmel Avila, just turned 10 years old and is competing in every show he can.  Boxing in the 80 lbs division Osmel has over 35 matches and we are looking forward to his progression in 2012.  

For the most, the group of kids now competing are in the 8-15 year olds for Aleman Boxing Fresno.  These kids are in need of a new uniforms and equipment, including but not limited to: jump ropes, medicine balls, gloves, hand wrapping gauze and running and boxing shoes.  We also very badly need money for gas and food on travels.  We hope for funding from the community.
  
Sponsoring Aleman boxing Fresno is a wonderful way to show that you support the youth in our community.  Aleman Boxing Fresno seeks to inspire all young people, especially the disadvantaged, to realize their full potential as productive citizens.  An investment in Aleman Boxing Fresno is not only an investment in our youth, but also an investment in our community.                                          

Let me share with you some success stories of the some boxers I’ve trained with; As kids we trained together in the small Holmes Playground boxing gym, but as professionals these three boxers rose above us all:  

Jesse Magana started out training at Holmes Playground with me as an amateur boxer.  As a pro, he went on to win the NABO Featherweight Title and fought for the World Jr. Featherweight Championship against Marco Antonio Barrera on HBO September 14, 1996.  He is now also coaching boxing.  

Ray Lovato won the US National Amateur Boxing Championships in 1989 and as a professional fought for the World Welterweight Title against Felix Trinidad on September 7, 1996.  In 1994 he knocked out Roger Mayweather, former world champion and trainer/uncle of Floyd Mayweather, live on ESPN.  Ray also was a sparring partner for Oscar De La Hoya.   

Hector Lizarraga, of course, is the most successful boxer I trained with.  Hector won the World Featherweight Championship by beating Welcome Ncita of South Africa on December 13, 1997.  Many times I remember him telling me, “Never in my wildest dreams, did I think me, a poor kid from the ghetto, would ever be able to travel to places like South Africa.”  It was boxing that enabled him to do things that were beyond his own imagination.  Hector is now a police officer in Mendota and helps out here at Aleman Boxing Fresno as a coach with the kids.  Lizarraga continues to come to shows with his IBF Championship belt to talk with kids at the shows we put on.  

Like many kids growing up today, these things are possible through hard work and a little help in the beginning from people like you.  Aleman Boxing Fresno will continue to help make a difference in the lives of children in the valley.  However, continued funding is essential to help us achieve these goals.  

Sponsors will get to put banners, fliers, logos on different equipment in the gym and logos on our ring mat, ropes and corner cushions are all available.  We have been on many television news broadcast, numerous hits on YouTube and this can be good advertisement for your company.  Aleman Boxing Fresno is located at 1229 Sierra Vista Ave., Fresno, CA 93703.  Any questions you have can be answered by me, club president and coach, Frank Aleman at (559) 905-7125.

Thank you for your time in reading this proposal.  In the upcoming pages are many of the things we have done since we have been open.  Also included in this proposal are some DVD’s that shows some of the bouts our members have taken part in, a show we our selves put on and many news pieces that have been on the air locally.

A very nice Championship belt!   

2010.05.22 Las Vegas, NV   Once a year we try to take our boxing team to a amateur boxing show in Las Vegas.  This year the team got to meet Celestino Caballero the WBA & IBF Super Bantamweight World Champion.  We took a team of six boxers and four got to compete.  Gary Salazar, Jorge Ruiz, Kevin Mendoza & Evan Sanchez all boxed at Barry’s Las Vegas boxing show and Osmel Avila & Maria Ruiz couldn’t get matched up.  Gary and Kevin came away with victories.

November 21, 2009, was the start of the 2010 National Silver Gloves Championships for the Central California Association.  In Bakersfield, CCA boxers, ages 8-15, gathered to battle it out for the opportunity to move on to Carson, CA for the State championships.  Aleman Boxing Fresno sent four boxers: eight year old Jorge Ruiz 55lbs, nine year old Victor Orozco 70 lbs, 12 year old Chris Minjarez 90 lbs. & 14 year old Gary Salazar 112 lbs.  Gilbert Salazar, Gary’s dad, took these kids to compete without their other coach Frank Aleman.  Frank’s father Francisco Aleman Sr. had gotten in a accident a week earlier and had just passed away the morning of the CCA Silver Gloves championships.  Hearing the situation, Gary called Frank and promised to win the 2010 National Silver Gloves for the honor of his father.  Three of the Aleman Boxers passed the first test and moved on to the state championship in Carson.  Gary was one of them.  Francisco was buried on the following Wednesday and Frank was back in the gym to see all his boxers that night.  With one week to go before the state championships, all three kids were working hard in the gym & Gary Salazar was leading the workout.  Frank stayed home from the state championships also.  After the state championships were over, only Gary was left of the Aleman Boxers.  Next up was the US Western Regional Silver Gloves Championship in January.  Salazar needed two wins here to advance to the Silver Gloves Nationals.  With one win down on Saturday, Frank drove down to Norwalk, CA Sunday morning to work the corner of his boxer.  It was the first time working a corner since his father had passed away, and minutes before entering the ring, Salazar turned to Frank and said, “I told you, I’m doing this for your dad.”  Standing across the ring from Gary was the Nevada Champion and after three rounds of boxing, Salazar was headed to the National Championships in Independence, MS.  February 3rd, Salazar left to Missouri and first up was the a boxer from New York.  Salazar advances to day two.  Next up was the two time National Silver Gloves Champion from Texas.  Salazar wins, now in finals. 

Saturday, February 06, 2010 just one boxer needed to be beaten.  Maliek Montgomery of Georgia.  A year ago Salazar had become the first boxer ever to capture this National Boxing Title, and a year later… The Phone rang, “I TOLD YOU FRANK! I TOLD YOU FRANK! I TOLD YOU! I DID IT FOR YOUR DAD!!!  Salazar repeated the feat never done by any other Fresnan… Gary Salazar, 2010 National Silver Gloves Champion

Independence, MO – After 4 months of training, keeping weight and all the qualifying
 tournaments to get to this point, Gary Salazar has won the 2009 National Silver
 Gloves Championship in Independence, MO!  Salazar defeated David Levy of
 Davenport, Iowa in the championship bout Saturday to win a unanimous decision in
 the final bout of this four month tournament.  When he left Fresno on Wednesday
 he’s father/coach was expecting other boxers, because of the economy, not to
 show up, but when he got there and saw his son had a full bracket, he knew the
 last bit of this tournament would be a tough test.  On top of the full bracket, the
 draw saw Gary up against the defending champion, Joe Bryant of Mississippi, in his
 first bout.  Gary knew that all the train at Aleman’s Boxing Gym and miles and miles
 of running would not be for not.  In a very close and tough bout Gary came out
victorious and moved on to the semi-finals.  There he faced Seven Annis of Eagle
Butte, South Dakota.  Going into the bout with a black eye he received in the
previous match, Gary was able to out box the South Dakota & Region 4 Champion,
guaranteeing at least a Silver Medal at these Silver Gloves.  But Gold was the Goal!
And for that David Levy was in his way… In 2007 Gary was in this exact position and
wasn’t able to beat the final boxer from Washington DC.  Thanks to that experience,
 the feelings of regret from being so close and all the training, Gary knew what he
had to do.  He boxed, he banged, he switched from right handed to south paw, he
did everything that he had to do to get this decision.  So now, Gary Salazar is the
12-13 year old, 112 lb. division 2009 National Silver Gloves Champion! Gary Salazar
 advanced in this tournament by winning the Central California Silver Gloves
Championship in Nov 2008, the California State Silver Gloves Championship Dec 2008
 & the US Western Regional Championship last month. Gary is a student at Sequoia
Middle School and has been competed over eighty times since he was eight years
old.  There is a Victory celebration for Salazar at his gym, Aleman Boxing Fresno,
1229 N Sierra Vista Ave from 5pm-8pm this Monday. We are open to the public &
media...

Unlike many shows, the crowd never seemed to thin out as almost everyone stayed to watch every match. Azbai Arreguin started out the day for Aleman Boxing’s amateur team.  She was out sized by about five inches in height by her opponent, Heather Hartman of Oakland’s Kings Gym.  It was a though and grueling bout that went the distance.  Arreguin came up a little short in the score cards and Hartman won. Next up for Aleman Boxing was Gary Salazar. This 13 year old kid dominated his opponent from Sacramento’s Mateen Boxing Club. Salazar won a unanimous decision giving Aleman Boxing tier first win of the day. About two and a half hours in to the show, in the 14th bout was Joe Chacon.  In a rematch of his first ever boxing match, Joe boxed Chandler Morrison of Clovis PAL.  This was a much closer match then the first but Joe will need another shot at the “Clovis Kid” if he wants to revenge his first loss, Mr Morrison wins again. After almost five hours of boxing, Bernell Washington made his debut as a member of Aleman Boxing.  Being the 24th bout out of 25 did not slow him down.  He came out strong and fast against his younger opponent Orbelin Terrones of the Parlier Boxing Club.  As Washington slowed in the second, Terrones begain to climb back into the fight.  Washington was able to build a big enough lead the first half of the bout to get the win, making Aleman Boxing 2-2 to the day. The headliner of the Show, Luis Villagomez was schedualed to box right after Chacon’s bout, ten minutes before he was to get into the ring, his opponent, Chris King pulled out of the fight. Sorry to all those who came to see him. His plans now are to win the PAL Nationals in October, then turn pro.   Special Awards were given to: Caballero Boxing Club of Sacramento for Best Team, they tied Clovis PAL with the most wins, four, but beat Clovis in heads up competition for the tie breaker.

It was supposed to be two boxers, Luis Villagomez and John Watts, competing today in Dinuba representing Aleman Boxing Fresno today. But things happen funny in boxing, and john Watts opponent fell out. Stepping up to fill the void was one of our youngsters, 13 year old Joe Chacon!  Waking up this morning he had no idea he was going to fight, he just should up to watch his sister box, but when Johns oppenent fell through and there was no one for his sister to box, he said he would step in and compete if we could match him up.  We did and he stepped in the ring for his first bout against a boxer from Clovis.  He didnt win, but he started his amateur boxing career with a strong showing.  In Aleman Boxing's second bout, Luis Villiagomez was successful in defeating Armondo Franco of Visalia in a four round bout. Luis started out strong and won the decision.  Look for all three of these boxers to compete in Fresno next Saturday at the YMCA.  Also to compete will be Azbai Arreguin and Jasmine Chacon, two of my female boxers.  Luis Villagomez, 19, a student at Fresno City College, won the 2008 CCA LB Championship. Luis started boxing as a young child at the age of 11. He has over 50 amateur bouts and had many successes in his carrier.  John Watts, 18, a student at Fresno City College, is a promising young boxer who had his first bout at the Golden Gloves in March 2008. He has a very good chance at copying his predecessors with multiple championships in his first year.  So far this year, 2008, we have competed in 4 competitions, the Central California Association (CCA) Local Boxing Championships, The Region 11 Championships, the CCA Golden Gloves Championships and The Region 11 Golden Glove Championships. We have won a CCA LB Championship, 1 CCA Golden Glove Championship and 1 Region 11 Golden Glove Championship.

Daniel Zaragoza (born December 11, 1957, in Mexico City, Mexico) was a professional boxer. Known as  "The Mouse," Zaragoza a popular champion in the super bantamweight division throughout the 1980s  and 1990s. Zaragoza turned pro in 1980 and in 1985 captured the vacant WBC bantamweight title with a disqualification victory over Freddie Jackson. He lost the title in his first defense to Miguel "Happy" Lora. The following year he moved up to super bantamweight and in 1988 captured the vacant WBC super bantamweight title with a knockout win over Carlos Zarate. After five successful defenses, he lost the belt to Paul Banke in 1990. The following year, Zaragoza regaind the belt with a split decision win over Kiyoshi Hatanaka. He went on to defend the belt twice before losing to Thierry Jacob. In his next two fights he battled newly crowned WBC super bantamweight titleholder Tracy Harris Patterson, drawing with Patterson in the first bout and losing by knockout in the second bout when the fight was stopped due to a cut. In 1995 he would yet again get another crack at the title, taking on Hector Acero Sanchez for the WBC super bantamweight title. The bout was ruled a draw, but Zaragoza fought a rematch with Sanchez later in the year and won the belt via split decision. He was able to defend the title four times before losing to then-undefeated Erik Morales in 1997, who knocked out Zaragoza in the 11th round. Zaragoza retired after the bout with a record of 55-8-3. He was inducted to the International Boxing Hall of Fame in 2004.
Humberto Gonzalez (born March 25, 1966) is a Mexican former world boxing champion. Nicknamed Chiquita, he made many admirers during his professional boxing career. Female boxer Delia Gonzalez was one of them, nicknamed Chikita after Humberto. Gonzalez made his professional boxing debut on September 1, 1984 in Mexico City with a four round decision win over Jorge Ortega. Little over three months later, he had his first knockout win, as he beat Narciso Perez in the first round. The win over Perez began a streak of 18 knockout wins in a row for Gonzalez, mostly against unknown Mexican opposition. The streak lasted until September 26, 1987, when he outpointed Mexican Jr. Flyweight champion Jorge Cano over 12 rounds to win the national title in Cancún. In 1988, he won four fights, all by knockout. He retained the national belt against Jose Luis Zepeda in six rounds at Tijuana, and Javier Vazquez, beaten in five at Mexico City. His next fight, on June 25, 1989, brought two firsts to his career: Celebrated in Chonju, South Korea, it was his first fight abroad. Being for the WBC world Jr. Flyweight championship, it was also his first world title try. Gonzalez outpointed world champion Yul-Woo Lee over 12 rounds to crown himself world champion. On December 9, he once again fought in South Korea, retaining his world championship against former world champion Jung Koo Chang by a decision in 12. In 1990, Gonzalez retained the title four times, but on December 19, he suffered a shocking defeat to Rolando Pascua, a boxer who was unknown to most boxing experts, in Inglewood. The knockout in round five suffered by Gonzalez that night cost him the world title. After a win in 1991, Gonzalez recovered the world title, by defeating the man who had taken the world championship away from Pascua: Melchor Cob Castro. Gonzalez and Castro met on June 3 at Las Vegas, and Gonzalez won a 12 round decision. In 1992, he retained the title four times, beating Castro in a rematch, Domingo Sosa and former world champion Napa Kiatwanchai among others. By then, talks about a superfight between him and IBF world champion Michael Carbajal were common among boxing fans. The fight, which came on March 13 of 1993, was the first million dollar fight in Jr. Flyweight boxing history (both fighters were guaranteed one million dollars in earnings) and also the first Jr. Flyweight fight in history to head a Pay Per View boxing card. In front of many Hollywood stars and thousands of fans at the arena, Gonzalez dropped Carbajal in rounds two and five, but Carbajal recovered to knock Gonzalez out in round seven. He finished the year with two ten round decision wins, including one against Pablo Tiznado, a boxer who also fought against Alex Sanchez. Carbajal and Gonzalez met in a rematch February 19, 1994 at Inglewood, and the second time around, Gonzalez became a three time world Jr. Flyweight champion by beating Carbajal by decision in 12. With that win, he joined an exclusive group of boxers who have been world champions three times or more in the same division, alongside such others as Muhammad Ali, Carlos De Leon, Evander Holyfield and Sugar Ray Robinson. Gonzalez won two more fights, one a non-title bout, and the other a title defense versus Juan Domingo Cordoba. Then, on November 12 of the same year, he and Carbajal had a rubber match, this time in Mexico City. Gonzalez once again prevailed, on points over 12 rounds. After retaining the title once in 1995, on July 15 of that year, he fought for the last time. Again, he dropped his rival, Saman Sorjaturong, a couple of times before being knocked out in round seven to lose his world title.

May 10, 1966) is a former boxer from California who currently works as a compubox technician for HBO Boxing and he has also worked on that area for ESPN. Hernandez, a Mexican-American, enjoyed a distinguished career as a professional boxer. His debut as a paid fighter came on September 27, 1984, when he beat Dino Ramirez by a decision in four rounds at Inglewood. He racked up a record of 13-0 with 6 knockouts, and a solid reputation as a future champion around Southern California, when he met former Julio César Chávez world title challenger Refugio Rojas on November 22, 1988. He beat Rojas, who had lasted seven rounds against Chávez, by a knockout in round six. This enabled Hernandez to enter the WBA Jr. Lightweight rankings. Hernandez then won seven more fights, four by knockout, including one over former world title challenger Felipe Orozco, and another one, his first professional fight abroad, a three round knockout over Leon Collins in Tokyo, Japan. Exactly two years after his win over Rojas, Hernandez got his first world title try, against Daniel Londas, on November 22 of 1991 at Epernay, France. Hernandez did not disappoint those who had predicted him to be a future world champion: He knocked out world champion Londas in nine rounds at Londas' hometown, becoming world Jr. Lightweight champion. In 1992, he retained the crown twice, knocking out Omar Catari in six rounds, and travelling to Japan once more, defeating challengers Masuaki Takeda and Yuji Watanabe, Takeda by decision and Watanabe by knockout in six. His next fight proved historic, albeit for the wrong reasons. Defending on April 26, 1993, once again at Inglewood against former world Featherweight champion Raul Perez, Hernandez had to settle for a first round technical draw. This was the first, and so far only, world title fight in which no punches were landed. Right after the initial bell, Perez headbutted Hernandez, and Perez bled profusely from an arteric vein on his forehead. The referee summoned the ring doctor, who decided the fight should be stopped, and Perez required immediate surgery. They had a rematch on June 28, and Hernandez retained the world title by a knockout in round eight. Hernandez closed the year by defeating Harold Warren by decision, once again, retaining the title. In 1994, Hernandez retained the title twice, including a victory over Jimmy Garcia, who would later die after a fight with Gabriel Ruelas. By the end of 1994, Hernandez was clamoring for a world title fight against crosstown rival, WBO world Lightweight champion Oscar de la Hoya. Hernandez began 1995 by beating another Mexican boxing legend, Jorge Maromero Paez, by a knockout in eight rounds at Inglewood. The Hernandez-Paez fight was overshadowed by another news that rattled the Hispanic world that day: It happened on the day that Selena Quintanilla was killed. Then, on September 9, the highly anticipated encounter between him and de la Hoya happened, at Las Vegas. Hernandez lost for the first time in his career, knocked out in six rounds by the younger, heavier de la Hoya. Up until the fight's end, the judges had de la Hoya holding a lead on all three scorecards. Hernandez laid off for a while, but his lay off it turned out to be a brief one, and by 1996, he was back inside the ring, winning two bouts that year. In 1997, he fought what almost turned into another controversial fight when he challenged Azumah Nelson for the WBC world Jr. Lightweight title, in Corpus Christi, Texas. Ahead on all scorecards at the end of rond seven, he was hit on his throat by a Nelson punch after the bell. He needed some time to recuperate, and WBC President José Sulaiman came to his corner and informed him that if he could not continue he would be declared winner by disqualification. But Hernandez said something on the line of I want to win it like real champions do, and he went back at the beginning of round eight, finally winning the world Jr. Lightweight title for a second time, defeating Nelson by split decision in twelve rounds. He defended this crown against such capable challengers as Anatoly Alexandrov, Carlos Gerena and future world champion Carlos Famoso Hernandez, a gymmate and personal friend who would later become El Salvador's first world boxing champion in history. In what would turn out to be his last fight, on October 3 of 1998, he lost the crown, to Floyd Mayweather Jr., by an 8th round retirement. In December of that year, after he was diagnosed with a blood clot and a torn cartilage muscle, he announced his retirement, with a record of 38 wins, 2 losses and 1 draw, 17 wins by knockout. He had intended to challenge WBC world Lightweight champion Cesar Bazan before the diagnoses. After ending his impressive career as a world class prize fighter, Hernandez opted to share his wealth of boxing knowledge with the next generation of fighters. Hernandez was a staple of the major cable television boxing shows during his days as world champion, fighting mainly on HBO Boxing and Pay Per View fights. He is a generally well liked member of the Hispanic community in the United States, and many boxing fans advocate for him to become a member of the International Boxing Hall of Fame
