“I’m very proud of our entire team who all fought hard and had tremendous success in this tournament,” disse o treinador principal Pound-4-Pound Richard Barrientes. “Although everyone didn’t come home with a belt, they all gave it their best, and gained a lot of experience. Angel and Chavez were outstanding, winning belts in their divisions. We competed against the best amateur boxers in the USA and held our own. Words can’t describe how happy I am with everyone’s performance.
