Aguas Buenas – In an emotional activity held at the Aguas Buenas Urban High School, the World Boxing Organization (WBO), together with its president, 舊金山 “Paco” Valcárcel, Esq., delivered the WBO North America (鄰居) JR. Welterweight title to boxer Yomar “The Magic” Álamo which he won last Friday in Florida, after defeating Mexican Manuel Méndez by unanimous decision in an event promoted by All Star Boxing.
“When
Yomar fought the previously, we were not pleased, Yomar’s people made the
decision for him to train with Iván Calderón so that he learned some techniques
that Iván had already used very well. Iván is the architect of this and I
recognize his work as a coach who charge of polishing this diamond. As a
fighter, Iván made 18 world title defenses in the 105 和 108 pounds of the WBO
and will be a safe bet for the Hall of Fame”, Varcárcel said.
An
excited Álamo said: “I am very happy with this tribute. This fight was for
my people of Aguas Buenas and Puerto Rico, who so need moments of happiness.
Everything can be done in life, just set some goals and fight for them, no
matter how strong the winds are. If you are at the hands of Jesus Christ, our
savior, nothing will be missing and I know that many young people will achieve
it”.
Álamo’s
trainer Iván Calderón said: “I want to thank Ángel Cotto, who was the one
who physically prepared Yomar Álamo for the fight and without that work, you
can’t do what you did. Thanks to Efraín Román and Armando for giving me the
confidence to join the team. The discipline that Yomar had to represent Aguas
Buenas with a lot of pride, knowing that his people are behind him, motivated
him a lot”.
“From
the Cagüitas neighborhood, we have a young man who, since he was a child,
trained in the municipal gym of Aguas Buenas with Efraín Román and his father
Armando Álamo. His dedication is remarkable throughout the town. Always running
at 4:00 in the morning and that fills us with pride. His title is well deserved
and thanks to the WBO for this great activity”, said the Aguas Buenas
mayor Javier García Pérez, who was joined by the representative Jorge Navarro,
on behalf of the House of Representatives of Puerto Rico.
For
the WBO, other from Valcárcel, Treasurer Adolfo Flores, Vice-Chairman of the
Championship Committee Enrique Mendoza, Esq, Ratings Committee Chairman Edgardo
López Sasso, Esq, and adviser Gustavo Olivieri, Esq, 也出席了會議.
