Time to Bleed - Weigh ins, Texas ElPaso

This morning started off meeting Gabe and Molly at the Portland Airport as well as Ron and his wife Rex. We then were off to Sacramento where we jumped on our flight to El Paso. A hour and a half later we arrived to beautiful sunshine and a cool breeze. We couldn't ask for better weather.

We jumped into the van checked into our room and just had enough time to get to the weigh ins at LA Boxing. Wesley Marquez faces off with Gabriel Cruz.

Gabriel "La Fuerza" Cruz.

At the weigh ins, Gabriel Cruz (Fisticuffs Gym) weighed in against his opponent Wesley Marquez of El Paso.

Next was Molly McConnell (Portland Or) vs Kita Watkins for the WIBF and GBU World title Championship. For those of you who may not know Molly is a regular at Fisticuffs Gym with her trainer Ron Woolard. Altough Molly does not train at Fisticuffs full time she is definitely Fisticuffs family!

Once the weigh ins were done we went to dinner and back to our room for a early night. Both Molly and Gabe look good and is ready for battle. Stay tune for more updates, pictures and results of tomorrows fights.
