Hector "El Finito" Tanajara from San Antonio has been fighting since 2007 and during that time has won eight national championships. In 2012, he qualified to attend the Veles Cup in Kurgan, Russia and took the gold medal in his weight class. This opportunity led the amateur standout to qualify for the 2016 USA Pre-Olympic trail competition. Winning the tournament and having been selected as one of seven to go to the 2016 Olympic trails, Tanajara decided instead to focus on a professional career. Now, the eight-time national champion made his professional debut as a newly signed Golden Boy Promotions fighter at the August 6 edition of LA FIGHT CLUB. In his September 18 appearance at LA FIGHT CLUB, Tanajara will look to claim his second professional victory. Southern California native Carlos Gonzalez has fought hard to give his opponents a tough fight since making his debut in March 2013. Gonzalez has shown his determination against opponents, working to tire them out by going the full scheduled rounds. He will make his LA FIGHT CLUB debut on September 18 when he faces newcomer Hector Tanajara and will seek with fierce determination to claim his first victory in the ring in three years. Alejandro Salinas of Youngstown, Ohio has yet to let his opponent get past the first round. He made his professional debut last November before a hometown crowd taking the victory by technical knockout against Chris Tanner in just the first of four rounds. He followed up his exciting debut with yet another impressive win in Youngstown by knockout over Bryant Bivens also in the first round. Most recently, Salinas claimed his third victory also by technical knockout in the first round over Jose Jimenez in his first appearance outside Youngstown, Ohio.
