BOOM-BOOM, BANAL WELL-ADJUSTED IN THE U.S.
By Salven L. Lagumbay PhilBoxing.com Mon, 02 Apr 2007

After their one-week stay in Los Angeles, both Rey 'Boom Boom' Bautista and Alex John 'Bazooka' Banal are well-adjusted and rested, and are now looking forward to their trip to Puerto Rico next week for the continuation of their training.
The duo will be accompanied to San Juan, Puerto Rico by trainer Edito Villamor, where they will join Oscar De la Hoya and Freddie Roach in training.
Yesterday, the group attended their first Catholic mass at the St Basil church since arriving in America, then proceeded to the Redondo Beach for their much-needed outing.
The group, along with friends Faye and couple Ronald and Charm, who own the 3C Wireless outlet in Los Angeles where they spend most of their free time to unwind and get free wireless internet connection.
Charm and her niece were co-celebrating their birthdays, and the boxers were their special guests.
Next week, both Bautista and Banal are expected to go full-blast in their training and are expected to be in great shape when they arrive in Puerto Rico.
