63rd ANNUAL TACOMA GOLDEN GLOVES

Oscar Hernandez did Fisticuffs proud today at the Tacoma Boys and Girls Club where he won the 152lbs division quarter finals. Oscar had a tough fight against German Sosa of Ring Sport Gym. The fight could have been held in a phone booth where both fighter stood there and banged it out with each other for most of the rounds.

When Oscar created space between his opponent he was able to hurt Sosa. Oscar hit Sosa in the body that stopped him in his tracks. Given the face that Sosa made, he clearly didn't like when Oscar went to his body. In the middle of the third round, Oscar put together a combination that sent Sosa slamming into the ropes. If the ropes weren't there, I don't believe Sosa would have been able to stay on his feet.

With this win Oscar advances to the semi finals at the Tacoma Dome tomorrow. Oscar will know who he will be facing tomorrow in the semi finals after he makes weight at 8am.
