my favorites right now

Antonio Orozco- kid is a beast fighting out of SD under the Espinoza Boxing Club banner
Gabino Saenz- 3-0 3KOs mean mean left hook
Mercito Gesta- bordering on contender status so I hesitated putting him on
Gary Russell Jr- kid has all the tools but may be a bit of a headcase as I have been told
Ronny Rios- kid out of Santa Ana, CA who is cool under pressure in spite of his age
