Being Prepared

Juan Bustamante LAPD is doing everything he can to be 100% prepared for James Davis, CDCR.  Bustamante is sparring and training hard with top amateurs and pros.  Aside from training and sparring at his gym 818 Boxing, he is getting a lot of support from, LAPD partner, “Cage vs. Cons” Champion, Ishmael Gonzalez. Juan is also traveling to Las Vegas to spar and to get training tips from Pro fighter Jesus Gutierrez at Johnny Tocco’s Gym.

Bustamante has fought some of the UCA top ranked fighters, which include Chris Barrios LASD twice, Jamaal Brathwaite Orange Co. S.D., and Brian Petrella Pasadena P.D.  Bustamante wants to test himself against the best out there and is looking forward to the challenge of fighting the best in NorCal.

Folsom Prison, Correctional Officer, James Davis is training and sparring everyday. He has 3 sparring partners preparing him for the UCA Light Heavyweight State Championship title fight. Pro fighters, Larry “Cyco” Ward, Juan Luna, and amateur fighter, Caesar Garcia. When these guys get in the ring with each other they don’t spar, they fight.

Over the past 2 years Davis has also stepped into the ring with UCA top ranked fighters. Jerry Ribeira, Oakland PD, Marcus Cox, Alameda Co. S.D. and Sonny Gerber, Grover Beach PD. Other than losing by decision to Gerber, and a draw with Cox, Davis has beaten every cop who stepped into the ring with him.

March 31^st will determine who the #1 fighter in California is at 175lbs. When the bell rings to start the fight all the training, talking, and sacrifices will come down to that moment. There is nothing left to do, it’s fight time. One thing is for sure, when the winner is announced, the first UCA Light Heavyweight State Champion will be crowned.
