(SEPT 4) On August 30th, I had the opportunity to venture down to Redwood City, California, to cover an all-female amateur boxing show entitled "Beautiful Brawlers III", promoted by Blanca Gutierrez, with two other amigas by her side, world champion Eliza Olson and #1 in the world in the heavyweight division, Martha Salazar.

I arrived at the venue with a very warm welcome to the Sportshouse, shortly after arriving in Redwood City, and met up with Gutierrez, Mario Cabreras Jr., Olson, Salazar, world champion Melissa McMorrow,  and many of the amateur boxers who were set to fight the following night,  and their teams and families.  At that time I was told there were about 17 confirmed bouts, with one including Olympian Queen Underwood vs. Stalacia Leggett, in the mainliner on the card.  

On this same evening there was a nice dinner for the fighters and their teams and family, followed by a meeting with the boxers.    At the meeting Gutierrez was very positive with the fighters, and talking to them about sportsmanship and other topics, and letting them know that this was an event to let them shine.  After the meeting, I stuck around and took more photos of the boxers, and others who were there.  I also took this unique opportunity to talk with many about WBAN, and gave out patches to many of the amateurs.

Fight Night at the Sportshouse
August 31, 2013

On fight Night there were 17 amateur female bouts on the card.  We had several top female boxers, and world champions (Ava Knight, Melissa McMorrow, Carina Moreno, Gina Guidi, Jolene Blackshear) that came out to support the amateurs, this was not including Eliza Olson and Martha Salazar who played a significant part in this event.

I had taken one pair of boxing gloves to the event, with the intent of having all the pro boxers sign the glove and have a Free-Give-Away Contest on WBAN with their autographs.

TO ENTER CONTEST TO WIN THE GLOVE, GO HERE:   Contest ends September 30th.  for details and to enter, go here! 

Before the action began this night, there were many behind the scenes photos taken with the champs and many others who came to the show.

During one of the short intermissions, many of the top pro boxers were introduced to the crowd. 

Let the Fights Begin.....Total Action with these
little warriors! But---before these amateurs fought, they all came center stage to be introduced to the boxing fans in the audience!
