Day Two Of The Golden Gloves Championships In Salt Lake City

On Wednesday Alex Guerrero fought his second fight of the National Golden Gloves. He fought Dustin Powell of Wisconsin who was coached by two time Olympic Coach Al Mitchell. Guerrero utilized his jab much better than in his fight bout and won all three rounds catching Powell with clean right hands and causing 2 eight counts.

On Thursday Alexis will face David Imoeseri form Nevada, who Coach Chernoff is familiar with from back in Fernando's day as an Amateur. The Nevada native knocked off top rated Paul Koon of Philadelphia, Wed night. Koon traveled to Ireland with Coach Chernoff on the USA National Team as the heavy weight representative.

"We have three very tough fights ahead but we must take them one at a time. These tournaments are so hard because you weigh in every morning and fight all different styles in one week. The competition get tougher and tougher and each bout can take something out of you. Alex trained very hard and did a lot of preparation for this so he could handle grueling schedule." said Chernoff.

Going into the quarter finals, the DC team still has 4 of the 10 boxers still in the running.
