(MAR 27) On Friday, April 15th, 2005, at the Juan Laporte’s Boxing Gym, 700 Elton Ave. 2nd Floor
718-585-6753, Out of “El Barrio” comes forth a new warrior, seeking to prove himself on the frontlines of boxing, his adopted motto ” Hasta la victoria siempre!” (-Ché Guevara)
“El Chamaco” who campaigns at the red hot jr. welterweight level is not only an extremely talented fighter, but a very grounded and focused young man who sees himself as the torch bearer for Spanish Harlem and it’s supportive and boxing-savvy community.
Edgar began his career on the island, under the tutelage of Felix Trinidad senior, training along side Felix ‘Tito’ Trinidad, Fres Oquendo and the rest of the 1999-2001 Trinidad faction. The young Santana found himself in an enviable spot as he learned the ropes from some of the best in the sport and he soaked up as much knowledge and insight as he could. Edgar’s career took off with a victory in November of 1999 and heated up in 2000, scoring four consecutive victories in the year alone.
Featuring Sparring Exhibitions by: Juan Laporte’s Boxing Team, Webster Police Atlethic League, and Bronxchester Boxing. Many Special Guests!
