Golden Gloves Boxers claim 6 titles Story and photos by Walt Johnson Mountaineer staff

The Fort Carson World Class Athlete Program sent six boxers to the Colorado Golden Gloves tournament in Denver Saturday and each of the boxers won a championship. The WCAP program saw four male and two female boxers dominate their opponents during the prestigious event that will now see the male boxers continue to the regional Golden Gloves tournament in Albuquerque, N.M., next month. Before the championship action began, Charles Leverette, WCAP head boxing coach, was confident his boxers were going to do something special. Leverette said he and his boxers had only one thing on their minds as they entered the arena. “We are here tonight not to win, but to dominate. We always have that as our focus. This is our job as Soldier-athletes and our focus is always going to be to do our job to the best of our abilities,” he said. Leverette said the training for the Golden Gloves was a little different from the training the team has been doing for the past few months. The team invited local boxers to spar with the team so that the boxers would learn new techniques and not fall into the trap of being bored with training. The results were a success, Leverette said, proven when the boxers went out and backed up their coach’s words. The first WCAP boxer to enter the ring on championship night was Alexandra Love, 106- pound weight class. Love needed less than a round to defeat her opponent, Ashley Barela. Above: World “I joined the WCAP program ... Class Athlete because I knew I would get great coaching, Program boxer and I would have teammates that would Alexandra Love help to get the best out of me,” Love said. lands a left jab “I didn’t know a thing about my opponent to the face of prior to the bout, but I think the way Ashley Barela we train — to go hard at all times, during their was a big reason for my win.” gold medal Next up was Charles Williams, 128 bout Saturday at pounds, who needed each of the three the Colorado rounds to secure his victory. He was Golden Gloves impressive and dominant as he kept tournament his opponent, Armando Mercado, off in Denver. balance for most of the contest to earn a unanimous decision. The second female boxer, Rianna Rios, 132 pounds, totally outclassed her opponent, Amorena Baca, to win the championship. Rios, a lefty, was rarely challenged during the contest as she repeatedly kept Baca off balance and confused with her ring command. The final three bouts of the evening featured a WCAP boxer, and completed the perfect night for the program. Reyes Marquez, 152-pounds, easily disposed of his opponent, Jake Baca, to Right: World capture the championship in three rounds. Class Athlete Marquis Moore, 165 pounds, totally Program’s dominated his opponent, Rocky Vigil, Charles Williams, knocking him out in the first round. Moore right, lands a hit his opponent with shot after shot before solid left hand to the referee ended the fight with Vigil out on the head of his feet and defenseless to stop the barrage Armando of punches he faced. Steven Nelson, 178 Mercado during pounds, capped off the evening, easily the gold medal defeating Bobby Calderon in three masterful bout Saturday. rounds of boxing to claim his title. 28 MOUNTAINEER — April 4, 2014
