Two former TCU football gamers will hop inside the ring on Saturday to try to take domestic titles. Desmon White, a wideout for the Frogs, maybe on the cardboard within the Men’s Novice, 18-40 12 months-vintage, 141-pound department. Former shielding lineman Aaron Curry may also fight in the Men’s Novice, 18-40 yr-vintage, 201+ pound category. One of the more dominating performances on Friday night came from German Lopez, who won the Senior Open, 15-sixteen yr-old, 119-pound division. Lopez, 16, used a left hook that forced the referee to stop his fit with David Lopez midway through the second one spherical after previous standing 8 counts. “The first one became a proper hook that buckled him, and I observed that with a straight right,” said German, who begins at left wing at the Arlington High School football crew. “The 2nd one changed into a proper hand too.”

German, who containers out of Paulie Ayala’s University of Hard Knocks Boxing Club, is a junior at AHS and overlooked a game to compete. The maximum unique bout of the night worried Nathaniel Primous, who defeated Adam Morrison in the semifinals of the Novice 152 pound department. Primous, a Marshall High School and Texas Tech grad, dominated the first spherical. However, Morrison battled lower back, and the two had been quite a lot blow for blow in motion-packed 2nd and 1/3 rounds. “People say a lot of factors to me about my hands,” stated Primous, who wants to be a doctor. “You get hit inside the head too much, they say, but boxing is a passion, and I love it. It’s simply too much fun to let pass.” Primous, who works as a cable man for Charter Communications, has been boxing for three years and hopes to get into medical faculty as soon as feasible. Primus will take on Kuinteion Newman, who defeated Marcus Simmons within the other semifinal, for the name on Saturday.
