Oregon's Jenah Duea wins spot on US Olmpic boxing team

Bend transplant Jenah Duea, simply one of my favorite boxers, placed 4th in nationals, won a spot on the US team, and brought home a team trophy for our Women's Region 12 (Pacific Northwest) team. Way to go, Jenah!!

Here's a reposting of a video I made of one of Jenah's fights this spring.

The photographer behind boxingphotographer.com took it at the recent 2010 Oregon Golden Gloves in Tacoma. The boxer's last name is Madrigal; I don't know her first name. She's getting a standing 8 count after a blow from the amazing Jenah Duea.

Lisbet Vargas vs. Jenah Duea

Fred Enslow Memorial Tournament at the Home of West Portland Boxing Club, the Garden Home Recreation Center in Beaverton.

Two weeks after Duea defeats Vargas at the Oregon Golden Gloves, Vargas defeats Duea.

The fight was terrific. The tournament was terrific.

Here are rounds two and three. Next time I'll remember to take extra batteries and record all four rounds.
