SALISBURY NEWS EXCLUSIVE: ALEX GUERRERO REMAINS UNDEFEATED

If you were fortunate enough to travel to Harrington Raceway last night to watch the boxing  matches, you enjoyed an incredible evening of boxing. I did and let me assure you, it was well worth the trip!

The Main Event was Alex Guerrero, as it should have been. Mind you, there were plenty of fantastic fights right out of the gate and throughout the evening. However, the Main Event ended the evening with a TKO and Alex Guerrero proved to the world that this guy has not only trained very hard, his power overwhelmed his opponent and body shots punished him so badly he went down three times in the fight because of them. Finally, the Referee had seen enough and made a good call ending the fight.

I was fortunate enough to sit next to Renee "Boxing Diva" Aiken from New Jersey. Renee saw Alex in his very first fight and couldn't believe what she was seeing. Throughout the fight she kept saying how much Alex has improved and proven himself as a professional.

I happen to personally know just how hard Alex has trained over the past few years and while I have watched his dedication, Alex is always a leader with other boxers encouraging them to push to their maximum limits. A lot of credit has to go to Hal Chernoff at the Main Street Gym. There are definitely two sides to this man. The man you meet on the street is kind, gentle and most of all very caring. However, when it comes down to boxing business, Hal is a bull dog who WILL get every ounce of your potential out of you and this is why he delivers champions.

If you happen to enjoy boxing, know this. Harrington Raceway and Casino took a chance by allowing this event last night to take place. When all was said and done, (after seeing the event was 100% sold out) they immediately announced their support for another event in the near future. I strongly suggest the next go around that boxiing fans from Wicomico County make the trip to Harrington. However, make sure you buy tickets early because one thing is for sure, it will sell out fast as they had fans coming all the way in from Up State New York, PA, Baltimore and Washington, DC.

I'll close with this. Remember back in the day when you watched the very first Rocky movie. Everyone walked out of the theater feeling like they could do the same. Last night Alex Guerrero was Rocky Balboa. Oh, and Hal Chernoff was Micky! Thanks for a great time and congratulations Alex Guerrero.
