The world is full of enthusiasm, as there are positive advances regarding the long-awaited vaccine against COVID-19, and the world has great expectations to see the light at the end of this tunnel, in which we have been involved for all this 2020.
It has been a stage in which we have all been tested. Many tears, blank nights, moments of anxiety and uncertainty, have we all experienced.From hand washing with soap and water, antibacterial gel, face masks, to everything related to healthy distance, video conferencing and learning to help our children’s with homework .
Life changed, but it has also given us an opportunity to evolve; realize what is really worth it, the beauty of a sunset and the song of the birds at dawn. How easy it is to find pleasure in simple things, and how beautiful it can be to live together as a family. We must make the best of this whole experience.

The WBC had a great experience with the “Remote Scoring” judging system, during the card of Carlos “King” Molina ; Six professional judged scored from their homes in different parts of the country; their scores were official. This remote scoring system is intended among other things, to help to keep to a minimum the number of people in the closed-door event. The experience has been highly satisfactory.
Ernesto Saldívar (Tamaulipas), José Manzur (Yucatán), Elíseo González (Quintana Roo), Juan Ocampo and Humberto Olivares (CDMX), and Abraham Ibarra (Edomex) were the judges of the bouts that took place in Michoacán, Mexico
