The Falcons had a tough weekend in Reno where AFA Boxers lost some close bouts to Nevada. The hometown Nevada boxers were able squeak out some razor thin decisions along the course of the night. AFA boxers all came to fight and left everything in the ring despite a hostile Nevada crowd that packed into the El Dorado Hotel ballroom. Please congratulate C1C Daryn Nelson who was named the boxer of the week. Daryn soundly boxed Nevada’s defending national champion and throughout the course of the bout took charge of the action pushing the attack over the course of the three rounds scoring many points with his excellent ring presence and generalship. The Falcons will be in action this Thursday February 7, 2008 for the Wing Open Tournament preliminary bouts.
