Lite It Up Boxing

Armando “Mando” Guzman, a long time resident of Los Angeles and trainer of the “Lite It up Boxing Team” has always loved the sport of boxing. Armando boxed for the LASD team for about 20 years, winning the Gold Medal in the Police Olympics twice and a Bronze Medal in the World Police & Fire Games. Mando learned his craft from trainers like Clemente Medina, and the late Hall of Famer, Emanuel Steward. Mando had the great opportunity to run the “Youth Boxing Program” for the LA County Sheriff’s Department for about 25 years. Now the trainer of the “Light It up Boxing Team,” he trains professional and amateur boxers. Some of the professional fighters that have trained in his gym are Roberto Duran, Marco Antonia Barrera, Oscar De La Hoya, Chiquita Gonzalez, and Carlos Famoso Hernandez. Armando trained Jesus Ruiz for the WBC Light Heavyweight Championship and trained Famoso Hernandez, as well.  Aside from training pros and top amateurs he is involved in training some of the deputies for the LA Sheriff’s Department, one being the undefeated UCA Cruiserweight Champion, Brian Stevens. Other LASD fighters under Mando’s tutelage are undefeated 5^th ranked Super Cruiserweight Allan Rojas and undefeated 8^th ranked Super Heavyweight Eddie Martinez.
