The United States Pulls Out Two Close Victories in the USA vs. Mexico Dual

(COLORADO SPRINGS, COLO.) – Team USA returned to international action on Friday with a two dual showdown with neighboring Mexico, April 13 and 15 in Harvey, Ill. The United States won close victories in both contests, pulling out one-bout victories over their neighbors to the south in both events.

Friday night’s action featured nine bouts of action in a special fundraising event at the Harvey Boxing Club. The U.S. women led off the evening with victories over their Mexican foes as flyweight Marlen Esparza (Houston, Texas) dominated Mexico’s Mariana Caballero by a 29-9 margin while lightweight Queen Underwood (Seattle, Wash.) won a slimmer 15-13 decision over Reyna Cotjia of Mexico. In men’s action, home gym boxer Alex Martin (Chicago, Ill.) won a tiebreaker over Mexico’s Oscar Molina in welterweight competition. Molina is the twin brother of 2008 U.S. light welterweight Olympian, Javier Molina. Light welterweight Pedro Sosa (Bronx, N.Y.) and super heavyweight Lenroy Thompson (Lenexa, Kansas) claimed the final two wins for Team USA on the night.

In Sunday’s action, all 13 U.S. boxers took the ring at Thornton High School and seven members of Team USA emerged victorious. Once again, it was the female athletes kicking off the action with Esparza taking her second victory of the event and middleweight Tiffanie Hearn (Louisville, Ky.) winning a 21-13 decision over Mexico’s Alma Ibarra in her first bout of the event.

Light flyweight Louie Byrd (Denver, Colo.) avenged his loss in Friday’s action by defeating Mexico’s Francisco Melendez by a 27-13 margin. Both Sosa and Thompson earned their second straight victories of the dual competition with wins over Mexico’s Carlos Barrera and Juan Hiracheta respectively. In other action, middleweight Luis Arias (Milwaukee, Wis.) won a dominating 23-11 decision over Juan Mercado of Mexico while heavyweight Joshua Temple (St. Louis, Mo.) defeated Mexico’s Mario Heredia, 13-11 in the first bout of the event for both boxers.

Charles Leverette (Colorado Springs, Colo.) of the United States’ Army, Clara Savannah (Houston, Texas) and Mark Chears (Chicago, Ill.) served as the U.S. coaches with Enrique Orci (Tuscson, Ariz.) and Randy Richard (Lafayette, La.) working as the AIBA officials, Rosemarie Trindle (Mercer, Pa.) serving as the Computer Technician and Dr. Alicia Broeren (Milwaukee, Wis.) joining the squad as the Team Physician.
