The Second Round Boxing Team traveled 12 hours to Memphis Tenn, and not to sight see! Mark Baltimore was faced with a defeat by RSC (Referee Stop Contest) because of a mouth piece situation. Rolando Santiago fought in his toughest victory yet but with an amazing pep talk in between rounds from Coach D, Rolando was able to pull out a victory. Antonio Freeman was no visitor at this national tournament as he also competed in the toughest match of his career. Antonio's opponent relied on jumping power shots that may have given him the first round but Antonio made adjustments and with hand speed was able to outpoint his Michigan man. Second Round is now the proud home of two national champions!
