R E S O L U T I O N
WHEREAS, El Paso's Luis Gutierrez will compete at the Everlast Men's U.S. National Boxing Championships being held in Colorado Springs March 24-28, 2003, and it is indeed a pleasure to wish him well in this endeavor; and WHEREAS, The lone representative from El Paso, Mr. Gutierrez advanced to the national tournament after winning both of his fights by knockout at the state championships held in January; and WHEREAS, A light heavyweight known for his stamina, relentless body attacks, and vicious right-handed punch, this finely conditioned athlete has been boxing for just under five years; and WHEREAS, Mr. Gutierrez fought his way into the semifinals at last year's national tournament, and that experience will undoubtedly give him an edge at this year's competition; and WHEREAS, With guidance from his trainer, Joe Hernandez, this dynamic young fighter hopes to compete at the World Championships and perhaps the Olympics before pursuing his career in the professional ranks, and he will surely represent his fellow Texans with dignity and honor as he achieves his goals; now, therefore, be it RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 78th Texas Legislature hereby honor Luis Gutierrez for his achievements as an amateur boxer and extend to him best wishes for success at the Everlast Men's U.S. National Boxing Championships; and, be it further RESOLVED, That an official copy of this resolution be prepared for Mr. Gutierrez as an expression of high regard by the Texas House of Representatives.
