   Eagle Pass' Jonathan Garza began his professional boxing career with a decisive and hard-fought victory over Miguel Angel "El Acero" Rebollosa at Fight Night on Saturday at the International Center for Trade.

   "Thank God we emerged victorious on this night.  We trained for two months straight for this fight, waking up at five in the morning to train physical, conditioning and boxing skills," said trainer Raul garza who actually is now the official corner man for Marco Antonio "El Veneno" Rubio, "It was an even fight.  When a fighter embarks on a career in boxing, many trainers find a weak opponent in order to begin collecting those 'W's', but we decided that we would find a rival at Jonathan's level with the same amateur experience so that the fight is a good fight and so that the fans don't leave with a bad taste in their mouths.  I think we accomplished that."

   The fight, according to many of the 1,000 who attended Eagle Pass Fight Night, the fight between Jonathan Garza and Miguel Angel Rebollosa, "El Acero" of Musquiz, Coahuila was the fight of the night.

   "The fight went to the score cards because it was a veritable war in the ring.  Both fighters came out bloody in this battle, one from the eye, the other from the head.  It was a war and I think the people loved it.  I think Eagle Pass has a new star."
