But
professional boxers also train there, and two in
particular bring pride and credibility to the
team:
Universal Boxing
Organization™ (UBO) Champions Fernando
Almeida and Diego Allan ”Mexicano” Iablonski.
Almeida,
9-3 (9), won the UBO Inter-Continental
Heavyweight title last February, when he,
cheered on from ringside by Brazilian boxing
icon Eder Jofre, stopped Argentina's reigning
South American Champion Gonzalo Omar Basile,
75-12 (36), in one round.
While the
fight took place in Brazil, Basile was
considered a clear favorite as Almeida had come
up short in his three previous step-up fights.
But the 30-year-old
had his own ideas, and blasted “El Paton” out in
impressive fashion.
