February

I hope everything is well with you. My name is Frank Aleman. I am the president and volunteer coach of
Aleman Boxing Fresno. Since 1987, I have been involved in amateur and pro
boxing. Since 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 gym.
What was born was the non-profit organization Aleman Boxing Fresno (ABF) a boxing
club and fitness center. We are
registered as part of the Central California Association of the United States
Amateur Boxing Inc.
We are located in Southeast Fresno, CA.
The reason for opening this club was to make it free to kids and young
adults, ages 8-19 that joined. I am
hoping to get the community behind me to support this effort in giving kids a
positive outlook on 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, which is something we are hoping to
change soon.
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 kids in the Fresno
area totally free of charge: the gym time, the lessons, the travels to cities
up and down California, Nevada, Missouri and Arizona.
In our first year of
competing in 2008, members of our club have been in action all over the
state. Including major tournaments like
the Central California Association (CCA) Local Boxing Championships, The Region
11 Championships, the CCA Golden Gloves Championships and The Region 11 Golden
Glove Championships, Jr. Olympic CCA and Region 11 Championships, the Police
Athletic League (PAL) State and National Championships and the Silver Gloves
CCA and California Championships. At
those competitions we have won a CCA LB Championship, a CCA and Region 11
Golden Glove Championship, two Jr. Olympic CCA Champions and one Region 11 Champion,
PAL State
champion and a Bronze and Silver medal at the PAL National Championships.
Our current group of amateur
boxers includes many kids, teens and young adults. To name a few and who they are: Gary Salazar,
Luis Villagomez, Joe and Jasmine Chacon, Azbai Arreguin, Gabriel Burriel and
John Watts. Gary
Salazar, 14, is one of the best
up and coming boxers in the country and just won the 2009 National Silver Gloves Championship. He has competed over 80 times in the
ring and has a number of championships.
In 2007 he won National PAL Championship and in 2008 has won the
CCA and Region 11 Jr. Olympic Championships, the PAL State Championship
and won the silver medal at the PAL National Championships and the CCA,
California state and US Western Regional Silver Gloves Tournament. Luis
Villagomez, 20, a student at Fresno City College, started boxing at the young age of 11. He has over 70 amateur bouts and had
many successes in his career. In
2008 he competed in over 20 amateur bouts and won the 2008 CCA LB
Championship and a bronze medal at the PAL National Championships. Currently he is getting ready for the
2009 US Men’s National Championships held in Denver, CO. Azbai
Arreguin, 20, won the 2007
California State PAL Championship.
She also won the 14th Annual Concord Cup, where she won
Best Boxer of the Tournament. This
was all in her first year as a competitive amateur boxer. 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 had 7 bouts already this year and is looking to compete much
more next year. Jasmine
Chacon is 14 years old. In
2008, her first year of amateur boxing, she already won the CCA Jr Olympic
Championship.
In 2008 Gabriel
Burriel won the CCA & Region 11 Golden Gloves Championships. In
2007 he copied Azbai with the same titles.
He won the 2007 Cal St. PAL Championship and the 14th An.
Concord Cup. Also copying Arreguin,
this was all in his first year of competing.
Aleman
Boxing Fresno is currently in need of new uniforms, equipment, including but
not limited to: speed bags, 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.
This
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 a 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 September 14, 1996.
Ray Lovato
won the US National Championships in 1989 and as a professional fought for the
World Welterweight Title against Felix Trinidad on
September 7, 1996. He also
knocked out former world champion Roger Mayweather, trainer and uncle of Floyd
Mayweather, live on ESPN. Ray also was a
sparring partner for Oscar De La Hoya.
Of
course the most successful boxer I trained with is Hector Lizarraga. 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 Washington DC or South Africa.” It was
boxing that enabled him to do things that were beyond his own imagination. Hector is now helping out here as a coach at
my gym with the youth. 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. Some past donors have
been: ARC Roofing & Construction, Naked Apparel Clothing, Ponle Apparel and
Duran Trucking. You too can help make an immediate difference.

2/07/09
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 &

July 19, 2008
Fresno, CA
– There was a sellout crowd as Aleman Boxing Fresno hosted their first ever amateur
boxing show. Teams from all across California
showed up to compete and there was 25 matches made for the event and many more
could have been made. Five hours of
boxing, that started from 3:30pm
till 8:pm. 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.
Best Boxer 17 & up was presented to David Ruiz of
Parlier Boxing Club. It was his 11 win
in a row, keeping him undefeated at 11-0
Best Boxer 8-16 was awarded to 15 year old Luis Ambrosio of Fresno.
Best Bout of the Night was awarded to nine year old Jose
Luis Rodriguez of Orosi and eight year old Thorn Castellon of Madera. These two
kids fought one heck of a fight that had the crowd on their feet most of the
time.

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

Gabriel Burriel went on to win the Region 11 Golden Gloves Championship as well. He had to pull out of the State championships due to a hand injury.
Zaragoza turned pro in 1980 and in 1985 captured the vacant WBCbantamweight 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 boxerDelia 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.
in a nearby future.
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

July 19, 2008
Fresno, CA
– There was a sellout crowd as Aleman Boxing Fresno hosted their first ever amateur
boxing show. Teams from all across California
showed up to compete and there was 25 matches made for the event and many more
could have been made. Five hours of
boxing, that started from 3:30pm
till 8:pm. 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.
Best Boxer 17 & up was presented to David Ruiz of
Parlier Boxing Club. It was his 11 win
in a row, keeping him undefeated at 11-0
Best Boxer 8-16 was awarded to 15 year old Luis Ambrosio of Fresno.
Best Bout of the Night was awarded to nine year old Jose
