I'm sure there have to be a bunch...but I looked in the phone book, internet, etc., asked portenos I know...can't find anything.

I'm NOT talking about or looking for
1. gyms with a boxing bag or an aerobics "boxing" class for hip soft people and girls

2. the only boxing club I found (forget the name...somewhere near the university/law school)...the owner/trainer seems like a good guy but the place is not serious...it's only used for exercise and no real boxing technique/sparring instruction, etc. takes place there as far as I could see...there were even some girls taking classes when I walked in
 
I know almost nothing about boxing. But I've heard about ALMAGRO BOXING CLUB, since I'm little. Have a look at: http://www.almagroboxingclub.com.ar/ - they are constructing the site, so you'll be derived to a provisional blog.
You can also consult the FEDERACIÓN ARGENTINA DE BOX for more information: www.fabox.com.ar
 
I too know nothing about boxing, but there's a boxing rink here in Almalgro. I don't know if they have a club, but on the weekends, I see that they have matches there and there's a store beside it selling all sorts of boxing gear (bags, uniforms, gloves, etc..) so I assume that they also do training.

It's near the corner of Castros Barros and Rividavia, on Castos Barros, across the street from the COTO supermarket.

Googled it and got this info. www.timeout.com/buenos.../federacion-argentina-de-box

Sorry I can't be of more help.
 
there is a gym on Las Heras called "Ranacimiento". They have a specific boxing membership and it seems pretty popular. I am no boxer, just one of those "hip soft girls" you mentioned, but it seems like it would be worth checking out.
