2nd Chance

For the past 8 weeks the UCA #3 Light Heavyweight Ray Bautista, Contra Costa County Fire Dept  has been preparing for his UCA Light Heavyweight title eliminator bout with #1 ranked Michael Valle, CDCR – PVSP.  Bautista has been training alongside stablemates Gio Morales, DC Biscoe and Ruben Leon at the Old School Boxing Gym in Fairfield. “They are great sparring partners” Bautista said. “They each have different styles which will have me ready for anything”
During each workout Bautista is constantly reminded by his coach Sergio Sanchez and Jose Barboza to have good technique and stay focused on the fundamentals.
Bautista had a chance to spar with the former WBC Continental Americas Welterweight Champion  Allen Sanchez (21-5) last week. Bautista had this to say about sparing the former champion. “What an awesome opportunity to spar Allen. He is never out of position and makes little movements to avoid and throw punches.” Bautista is like a sponge at the gym soaking up all the knowledge he can get from other fighters and his trainers. If Bautista can sneak by Valle he will get his chance to face the undefeated UCA Light Heavyweight Champion Cesar Sosa, CDCR CMF a second time.
