Twelve female boxers are representing the United States in the 2008 Pan American Championships which started last Friday October 3 in Trinidad and Tobago. With the USA boxers doing very well, 11 out of the 12 female boxers have advanced to the finals.

The annual event showcases the top athletes from North, Central and South America, provides an early prep for the United States boxing team before the Women’s World Championships in November in China.

A slight hitch already saw Trinidad and Tobago’s top boxer Wendy Alleyne unceremoniously ordered to leave the host hotel.
