She said she sees the impact that boxing has had on her and her fellow athletes first-hand. “I’ve had 18 amateur fights. I’ve only lost five of those. I’m a pro now, so I have five fights professionally,” Cuevas said. “You know, with boxing it’s all about discipline. It’s all about staying focused, both in school and whatever you do. So that’s how it’s helped.”“I actually have a number one ranked in the United States. I got a number three and a number six and a number seven. So, you know, they’re out there, or getting out there.
