Coach Marco Trejo (L) debriefs with Joey Abudy about the sparring match he just finished at Sweet Science Boxing & MMA Gym in Hawthorne, Calif. on Thursday, April 7, 2022. Marco grew up in Hawthorne, graduated from Hawthorne High School and attended El Camino Community College. “I’ve always liked boxing since I was a young kid,” Marco says. “But, I didn’t get a chance to pursue boxing until I was in my twenties. By that time, it’s kind of late to be competitive. So, I thought maybe I should open a gym, I love boxing so much.” He opened Sweet Science in 2009. (Kim McGill | Warrior Life)
