David Jasso of South West Det. defeats Marcus Finely of A-Square Fight club

Photo by "Bob Ryder"
Last years winner of the A-Square Fight club James Toney Inv. Tournament David Jasso out husseld Marcus Finely. Marcus won his last bout just last week, in a close fight, but his in activity in the ring cought up with him. The fight was there for him to win, I new David would be a good fight for him. It's something that Marcus needed to experence. Insted of sqeaking by with a victory in that bout, wich was a close one, he should benefit more from that lost. Undefeated in 6 bouts before that lost now 6-1. I think he will get down to bussiness and tap in to his true potential and hell be happy with the results. Coach E. McGuire
the Results from the 22 bout card will be posted later under our news section
