Iv?n is the architect of this and I recognize his work as a coach who charge of polishing this diamond.

If you are at the hands of Jesus Christ, our savior, nothing will be missing and I know that many young people will achieve it". ?lamo's trainer Iv?n Calder?n said: "I want to thank ?ngel Cotto, who was the one who physically prepared Yomar ?lamo for the fight and without that work, you can't do what you did. Thanks to Efra?n Rom?n and Armando for giving me the confidence to join the team. The discipline that Yomar had to represent Aguas Buenas with a lot of pride, knowing that his people are behind him, motivated him a lot". "From the Cag?itas neighborhood, we have a young man who, since he was a child, trained in the municipal gym of Aguas Buenas with Efra?n Rom?n and his father Armando ?lamo. His dedication is remarkable throughout the town. Always running at 4:00 in the morning and that fills us with pride. His title is well deserved and thanks to the WBO for this great activity", said the Aguas Buenas mayor Javier Garc?a P?rez, who was joined by the representative Jorge Navarro, on behalf of the House of Representatives of Puerto Rico.
