The LASD Boxing Team has the most talented group of fighters in California and perhaps the Country. Not only are the LASD fighters talented, the LASD coaches are talented as well. Long time trainers Mike Young, Al Farijo, Hank Nagamini, and Armando Guzman, are former accomplished fighters that give the LASD team the benefit of their combined experience.  When you have the best fighters in California to train and spar with everyday, the team’s level of dominance can only continue to rise. The term steel sharpens steel, couldn’t be more true.

Below are some of the best fighters in the state representing the LASD Boxing Team.

Larry Cervantes, undefeated #1 ranked Jr Welterweight has the talent to dominate the division for a long time.

Jorge Caamal the 3 time Police Olympic Gold Medalist. Caamal said, “I want to hold titles in three weight classes, 147, 154, 160lbs,” and has the talent to do it.

Brian Stevens, the undefeated Cruiserweight Champion whose skill level is unmatched. The only fighter at his level is Jamaal Brathwaite, Orange Co, SD. They stand alone at the top of the Cruiserweight division.

Chris Barrios, Pound for Pound Super Cruiserweight. Since he started boxing he has established himself as a dominate force. Barrios is a fighter that has never tasted defeat and is widely feared.

Also in the same division is undefeated, Alan Rojas, the only thing missing is experience.

Mike Frazier the undefeated smooth as silk Heavyweight is also unrivaled in talent and is ready to challenge the best out there.

Rahsaan Harrison, is not your average Super Heavyweight. He is a very skilled, athletic big man.  Harrison moves and has speed like a middleweight. He wants a rematch with the #1 ranked Heavyweight Casey Johnson, Oakland PD. Harrison and Johnson fought to a draw in the Western States Police & Fire Games. The fight was decided by the flip of a coin. Johnson won the toss, advanced to the finals. “I will fight the top guy at Super Heavyweight or Heavyweight,” said Harrison. 

Another top level fighter on the LASD Team is Eddie Martinez, an undefeated Police Olympic Gold Medalist. Martinez is a very respectful, talented, humble athlete who can fight.

Other fighters on the LASD Team who have the potential to be on top are Erik Ramirez, who gets better with every performance and Angel Vasquez who has had some tough fights but continues to improve.

Two females on the team that have trouble finding opponents but will fight anyone in their division are Isabel Sandoval, and Roxanne Chavez.

Fighters just getting started on the team and have the potential to make a name for themselves are Guerrero Gonzales, Remin Pineda, Roman Mercado, Feliciano Perez, and Manny Amaya.
