Tomas Cantanios or just Tomas to his friends came from a loving family and enjoyed being as much of a kid as any poverty stricken child can in L.A. He was going to win the respect of his family and friends, his peers and his community as "Tommy Kansas", prize fighter, but these dreams were knocked into the world of reality as the starting bell rung and as fists began to fly at him with the fierce intent of survival.
