Escalera

Jason "Monstruo" Escalera goes from work to the Union City Boxing Club run by Joe Botti... Escalera never slows... never takes a day off... always in preparation for the next fight and often shares knowledge with the younger guys. He won the NJ Golden Gloves at 178 lbs in 2007 and turned pro in 2008. Escalera is undefeated at 5-0 and his upcoming fight is May 7th.
