These are headshots, taken during the weigh ins, of some of the fighters boxing for Goossen Tutor Promotions at the Tachi Palace Hotel and Casino this April. The pictures include Shawn Estrada a 2008 Olympian and WBC CABOFE Heavyweight Champion Manuel Quezada. Estrada, a former Hanford, California resident, was slated to fight but a hand injury forcesd him to sit ringside at the night’s event. I won’t have action pictures of the fights up until the Tuesday after the fights because I’ll be in Las Vegas that weekend. UPDATE: Click here to see the complete collection of uploaded photographs.
