| Alfonso's family moved from Mexico to the United States when he was 10 years old, and he's been boxing ever since. Mr. Gomez took over Alfonso's training after a month of watching another trainer teach his son an amateur style of boxing. Having been a boxer himself, Alfonso's father preferred a pro style and taught Alfonso the 'Mexican Style of boxing.' Alfonso only takes orders from his father, and will ignore almost everyone else, particularly when it comes to training - he won't undo what he and his father have been working on for fourteen years. Alfonso graduated high school with an 80-10 amateur record and decided to go Pro. He also wanted to get a B.A. degree which meant a move from San Francisco to Los Angeles. The 17-year old was going to move out alone, but his parents wouldn't let that happen. They sold their business and home and moved their three sons to Tustin, California. The entire family has made huge sacrifices to ensure their Alfonso has everything he needs to become a champion. Alfonso wants to give all that they've given back to them and sees this competition as an opportunity to get him closer to his goal. He is confident that he's going to win, and so is his family. Alfonso fought and lost to Ishe Smith in 2001. |

What a great fight between Alfonso and Ahmed. Although Alfonso almost got knocked out, he made Ahmed look silly. Look out for Alfonso to go to the final.
Bonsante really showed what a coward he really is, I don't believe he was hurt. He just didn't want to fight Ishe.

I assume you mean Jesse?
I missed this fight, but thank goodness Alfonso beat Ahmed. I am so glad I didn't have to see him very much last night (maybe he caused my migraine with his "Champion of Contender is back" talk).
I've actually missed both of Alfonso's fights (I didn't start watching til the second episode, and I missed last night's episode)... I'm looking forward to seeing him in the final four.
