sparring partner to keep her busy. Naomi Graham is also USA

Alexis Gomez,
26 years old took a bronze in the 2020 Olympic trials but
what was incredible about this is that Gomez only had 10 amateur
fights going into the Nationals / Olympic trials. Gomez record
going into the trials was undefeated even winning a bout
internationally in her first 10 fights. Gomez took her first
loss ever to Naomi Graham at the trials. Gomez style is the
perfect storm. Her attack is unforgiving, and she is aggressive
and very powerful. Gomez first time in USA camp.

supplied all the biography info on these amateur boxers.
