AURORA, Colo — A Colorado couple is making history, by punching their way to the top. Tasos and Madison Hernandez became the first couple in history to win the Colorado Golden Gloves championship at the same time.
Tasos Hernandez said they initially didn't have plans to compete, but things changed after the passing of their coach Joaquin Romero. Romero was killed in a hit-and-run in 2022 at just 35 years old. Romero started by teaching people how to box out of his garage, before eventually opening the Topeira Boxing Club.
After Romero's passing, Tasos Hernandez started coaching at the gym but realized that he needed to practice what he preached.
