Life's cruel ironies. Owen possessed an abnormally thin skull and should never have been fighting Pintor, or anyone for that matter.geoffreysadao wrote:If I remember correctly, he was scheduled to get a title shot against Lupe Pintor in Fall of 1980, but they did some neurological tests and found some damage. I think that Johnny Owen got the title opportunity instead, of course, he tragically died. Pintor was a very formidable champion, and Owen gave him a great fight.kikibalt wrote:Eddie Logan was a much better fighter then his record would indicate, I seen his fights with Sandoval, Muniz and Zamora, et' al', his last fight was with Zamora which he won by ko, and then never fought again, why?geoffreysadao wrote:I just read the posting about the Eddie Logan, the bootblack, who just died at 98. When I saw the name "Eddie Logan," I immediately thought of "'Motorboat' Eddie Logan," who was a bantamweight contender in the late 70's until 1980. He beat Superfly Sandoval and Alfonso Zamora. Apparently, he gave Leo Randolph a bit of a struggle as well. I know that I'm getting off on a tangent, but I wonder what happened to this guy?
Joe Guevara, who is Ernie Guevara's son, fought Eddie Logan in the mid-1970's and won a decision. Guevara also held a decision win over popular Frankie Duarte. Ernie Guevara owned the Capitol Boxing Gym in Sacramento, which sadly closed its doors a few years back.
Eddie Logan was a fine fighter.
