Ace Hawkins trained just shy of three years for his moment. And that moment arrived DATE in IWA-Productions in Olney, Ill. as he faced off against “Thee” Brandon Espinosa.
The match lasted approximately 10 minutes, and Espinosa came out on top, according to Hawkins.
“I felt it was a great first match,” Hawkins said. “Espinosa is great in the ring. I would [have] won had [it] not been for the chain-wrapped fist to the face.”
Hawkins said he would love to wrestle all over the world, but for now he is taking things as they come.
“I’m taking this all one step at a time and focusing on the task at hand,” Hawkins said, “And that’s proving myself as the best up an comer junior division wrestler ever.”
Hawkins began his training in 2007 and by January 2008 made the transition to Dynamo Pro through July 2009. He currently trains at South Broadway Athletic Club; he began training there this year. Hawkins has had five matches since his debut.
