BOX Golden Gloves 2-20
Nashaun “Nash” Richardson trains for his upcoming 165 match this week-end with Joseph Donald at Randazzo Brothers Boxing Gym, which has 16 boxers registered in the Golden Gloves tournament on Wednesday, Feb. 16, 2022.Logan Luna wasn’t worried when he saw that his opponent had a height and reach advantage of several inches.“Muscles don’t win fights. Size doesn’t win fights,” the 25-year-old personal fitness trainer at Box Beat gym said. “Fighting wins fights.
Open division winners on Sunday earn a trip to the Texas State Golden Gloves tournament on March 16-19 in Fort Worth.“Since he’s the taller fighter, I needed to stay out of his range, move my head and be aggressive,” Luna said. “After the first round I saw that he couldn’t fight backing up, so if I could make him think and hit him off his back foot, I could pretty much do what I wanted to do.”
Luna was the aggressor to the end, knocking Camacho’s mouthpiece out with a stiff jab in the final round and connecting with a hard right hook at the bell. In other bouts, Reginald Battle of Davies Entertainment used his reach and speed to defeat Neko De Leon of Austin in a 3-0 decision to advance to the men’s senior open finals at 139 pounds.
