Ben Lira
Ben Lira is a man with tremendous experience, talent and knowledge of the sport of boxing. Ben devotes his time in the sport of boxing with compassion and readily shares his extensive knowledge of the sport with his boxers at the south El Monte Boxing Club. Ben truly knows all the ropes when it comes to being in his boxers corner. He loves to reminisce and talk about the old classic boxers and matches that make the sport what it is today. When I asked Ben how he would like to be remembered, he responded with two words, “Unfinished Business”. Ben has a great deal of knowledge and experience to contribute to the sport of boxing. We are very fortunate to have him in our corner. |

Dub Huntley
“A remarkable human being” This is how we describe Dub Huntley. He is a kind, considerate and compassionate man. Put him in the ring and you will have a fight on your hands. I remember a professional boxer who is since retired say, “I fought Dub Huntley”. When I mentioned this to Dub, he could not remember the man you claimed to have fought him. Dub responded. “Did he get knocked out?” “If he did not get knocked out then he did not fight me.” Dub continues to train boxers at two gyms in Los Angeles. A former trainer of Laila Ali, credit and release of rights to academy award movie “Million Dollar Baby” was recently featured on the televison series one of the “Contenders”. We are honored to have Dub, Ben and Joe as they are what we refer to as our “Dream Team” !
