Westside Boxing Club

The Westside Boxing Club was established in 2007 by the Saucedo Ruiz boxing family. In a short period, Westside has developed a reputation as a true and traditional "fight gym. ESPN recently recognized the club as one of Boxing's Most Famous Gyms. Under the helm of family patriarch, Jose Manuel Saucedo, brothers Jose and Nacho Saucedo serve as head... trainers. With support from Steven Ho, and Oscar De La Hoya and Golden Boy Promotions, the gym has been a go-to spot for Los Angeles media workouts, as well as a secluded LA training center for world-class fighters including Saul "Canelo" Alvarez, Victor Ortiz, Sugar Shane Mosley, Marcos Maidana, and many others (see Gallery of Boxers).

Another prospect is Tenochtitlan "T-Dog" Nava, who is pictured above. Nava debut as a professional on the April 1 edition of LA Fight Club. In 2016, Nava has fought four times. In November, Nava faced his toughest test against Ricky Vasquez, where he won via unanimous decision. Nava looks to continue his career with more wins in 2017.
