Guadalupe Medina, a straw boxer, can get closer to the title, but her trainer did not want to train her at first.

Medina, a boxer from Maywood in California with the Pro 9-0 Record (2 KO), started boxing after following his brother Amed Medina to the boxing gym. As trainer Edgar Jasso explained to her: whatever he did, she followed him. If he played basketball, she would do it too. “I started boxing at the age of eight. I just marked with my brother. Since he did it, I did everything he did. I marked myself, “21 -year -old medina said Boxingscene. “From the first day I just fell in love with him. I fell in love with the progress that I can do. “

The medina was eight years elderly when she first entered the boxing gym. She did not train with Jasso, but he was in the same gym, training other fighters. About five years later, Jasso cooperated with amateurs. Her brother started training with Jasso, but it was not a trouble -free or basic transition. At first Jasso did not want to train her.

“I started working with her when she was 13 or 14 years elderly,” Jasso said. “I really didn’t want to train her, because at that time we didn’t really train many women or we didn’t really do it at all.”

Medina also remembers it.

“He clearly threw me out and said he didn’t train girls. He thought the girls were too much responsibility, “Medina said.

“I would tell her that I was not sexist or anything, but I honestly did not know if women’s training was suitable for us,” Jasso said. “She never stopped coming and never stopped appearing in the gym”

The turning point came when the medina won the amateur tournament, a tournament about the 2019 Olympic Games in Compton, California. She would receive the best general boxer. Medina knew that after that she secured her place.

“When you tell someone that you won’t work with them and they still appear every day, he says something,” Jasso said.

Now the medina, which is signed to 360 promotions, is not lacking in interest in her career. Last Friday from Agustina Solange Vazquez at Chumash Casino, California, Santa Ynez, Santa Ynez, Santa Ynez, Santa Ynez, Santa Ynez, Santa Ynez, Santa Ynez, California.

Medina’s victory over Vazquez served in the competition as a step, because Medina moves very quickly in her teenage career. Vazquez, 4-3-2, Argentine boxer currently living in West Hills, California, had an amateur pedigree and despite the modest record, he served as the most arduous opponent of the medina on paper.

“I felt great. This was my first eight round – Medina said. “There was an augment from my last fight, which of course I love to see. I want to grow in every fight. I still want to observe improvements. Many things we were working on in the camp could demonstrate during the fight. “

With the victory over 22-year-old Vazquez, the depth of her division is now becoming a conversation. Medina takes in us number 1 according to Boxrec, as well as the same record goalkeeper as a ten warrior in the world. Medina is 21 years elderly, enters the title picture earlier than most could expect.

“To be truthful, I think we’re not very far away,” Medina said.

In fact, the medina has already been offered a fight for the title, but it would mean that the team is traveling to Germany. Jasso thought that the journey and atmosphere could be her career at that moment, although Jasso was clear that he had no doubt about her skills and skills of such a fight.

“After each fight they always ask me, what did I think about her performance?” Jasso said. “I always say it was good, but there is always room for improvement. I always look for more from her every time and this will lead her to the place where I want her to go. “
