You need to understand that everyone has a personal number issued to them by there internet service provider. This number acts as an internet thumb print. When you start to argue with your self and calling boys and coaches crackers that number shows up on both names you use to have the argument sir.

Perales takes Olympic dream to U.S. Team Trials in Houston
By ROY HESS/The Brownsville Herald
August 19, 2007 - 11:46PM
Sergio Perales smiles when he thinks about what it would mean to win the bantamweight division in this week’s U.S. Olympic Boxing Team Trials in Houston.
Beginning today, 88 of the country’s top fighters, including Perales, will be vying for 11 coveted spots on the U.S. Olympic Team that will compete in the 2008 Summer Games in Beijing, China.
Winning his division would make an Olympic dream come true.
“It would be great,” said Perales, a 19-year-old Brownsville native and 2006 Los Fresnos High School graduate. “This is it. This is what I’ve been training for all these years. I’ve been thinking about the Olympics a long time. Now that I’ve got my shot, I’m going to try to prove myself.”
Double-elimination competition in the event runs through Sunday at George R. Brown Convention Center.
Perales qualified for the U.S. Olympic Trials by reaching the quarterfinals of the U.S. Championships in June.
Besides the left-handed Perales, a 2005 Junior Olympic national champion, there will be seven other talented fighters in the bantamweight division (119 pounds).
They include Gary Russell Jr. of Capitol Heights, Md.; Sammy DiPace of Las Cruces, N.M.; Ronny Rios of Santa Ana, Calif.; Roberto Marroquin of Dallas; David Clark of San Diego, Calif.; Jessy Cruz of Miami, Fla.; and Alexis Ramos of Fort Carson, Colo.
Russell appears to be the favorite. He’s a two-time national champion who was a World Championships bronze medalist in 2005 at age 17.
Rios, 17, won U.S. Championships and Golden Gloves titles earlier this year. Marroquin, 18, was a 2006 Junior Olympic national champion and is coming off an appearance at the 2007 Pan American Games. DiPace is a two-time Junior Olympic national champion, while Clark participated in the 2004 U.S. Olympic Team Trials and earned a silver medal in the 2007 U.S. Championships.
Perales met Russell in the finals of the 2005 Golden Gloves National Tournament in Little Rock, Ark., and lost a tough decision. More recently, Perales faced DiPace in the U.S. Championship quarterfinals in June at Colorado Springs, Colo., and suffered a four-round defeat.
Robert Campos, Perales’ longtime trainer, said previous encounters with Russell and DiPace motivated his fighter to step up his training.
“I think Sergio’s chances are very good,” Campos said. “This time, we’ve trained even harder than all the other tournaments he’s fought in. Sergio’s mentally and physically prepared. He’s had some good sparring sessions lately and he’s been pushing himself very hard. He’s ready to go.
“Sergio knows this is a very important tournament,” Campos added. “All the best boxers in his division are going to be there. He’s fought a couple of them already, so he knows what to expect.”
In another week, Perales will begin his sophomore year as a nursing major at the University of Texas at Brownsville and Texas Southmost College. But for now, he’s focused on boxing.
“I know that this will be a tough tournament,” Perales said. ”I’ve got good hopes because of all the training I’ve been doing. I’m just going to go up there and give it my best and see what happens. There’s nothing but champions in this tournament.”
