(AUG 7) On the “Perseverance” card, August 28, 2009, at the Wilson Complex at the New Mexico Highlands University in Las Vegas, NM, featuring Holly Holm vs. Terri Blair II as the main event, four-time National Champion Amanda Crespin will be making her pro debut on the card. 

Crespin got her start in boxing at 8 years old after watching her brothers Arturo and Carlos Crespin in the gym with their father learning how to box. One day she overheard her father talking about the Junior Olympics being held in their hometown of Las Vegas, NM.

Amanda told her father she wanted to box, she said the first impression on his face was, "is this girl kidding me?!" “He said really?” Amanda replied yes! Her mother Elizabeth Crespin was not very happy with her daughter’s interest in the sport, but has been very supportive since her first fight. The West Las Vegas HS graduate has left the amateur ranks with an impressive record of 73-13 and 4 national titles as well as a #2 National ranking.

Amanda is scheduled to fight Shannon Sangre of Los Lunas, NM who debuts as well.

Aside from boxing Amanda currently works full time for the City of Las Vegas in Mayor Tony E. Marquez office. This fall Amanda will be attending New Mexico State University in Las Cruces, NM pursuing a career as a traveling RN.
