PS Don't get to worried about the hug Roger i am a Lady Lover although after my experience in Brazil last year with a beautiful shemale my wife and son might tell you different

"She's a whaaaaaaatttt ?" . . .

Danny . . . My wife is Brazilian. She's from Salvador, Bahia. There was a time when she worked in the theatre and the result is she knows a lot of trans-gendered people. Wherever you have entertainment, artisits, designers you'll find she-males. This is not uncommon in Brazil, and Monica showed me photos of men that appear to be drop dead beautiful women.

A guy think's he can't be fooled, but it happens everyday. You can only imagine a man's thoughts when he discovers more in the package than he expected Some have had the surgery and guys often don't know that the little cutie that just made their heart pound is actually "Roberto", not "Roberta".

If it ever happens again as she whispers sweet nothings in my ear and then mentions her name is Roberto. As i gently push her away and refuse her advances i will be praying her second name is not Duran. A Man has to know His Limits and at my age i aint taking on "The Hands of Stone" for anyone

Eder Jofre vs Jose Medel I & II

That's great stuff. Jofre and Medel are always interestung to watch. Too bad there's not more of them on tape. Just a sidelight. I always liked the way Medel wore his hair. Gaspar Oqtega had the same haircut. I tried to have the barber cut my hair like that when I was a kid. Never came out right. Mayba i didn't have any Indian blood in me that's why.

Rick
You say you're going to go to Brazil with Monica to do a documentary on Eder Jofre. Your the guy that understands what this guy was like in the ring. He was ,perhaps,the best small fighter who ever lived. He demolished some great fighters. He never had a downward turn like a Duran or a Pep or an Olivares. He came out of retirement to win a Feather Title. You're the guy that can open this guy up to the younger generation of boxing fans who don't know about him.

Poor Joe Medel. He had to come along when Eder was the Champ,or Joe could have held that crown for a while.

Just read this dont know how i missed it
Wow Rick
Eder Jofre, now he was among The Cream of the Cream

I think so too, Danny. I used to rate Olivares #1 bantam of all time, but I had a prejudice, having been an Olivares sparring partner for the Pimentel fight. Who wouldn't like to place themselves in the ring with the best ever at that weight? However, thru further education on the bantam division, films, legendary input, etc. today I rate Manuel Ortiz (who defended the title twenty times in a tough era) as #1, Brazil's Jofre #2, and Olivares #3. Of all of them, Jofre was the best conditioned, maybe the best?

Regardless, early next year, after Carnival in Brazil, Monica and I are going to spend time there. I will use my resources to secure an interview with Jofre. I'm learning Portugese, and I heard he speaks English? If not, Monica will be my back up. Most of our time will be spent in the State of Bahia, but we'll get to Sao Paulo to meet with Jofre. I will also spend some time in Australia, where I hope to find Lionel Rose, who has had his share of challenges in recent years. I already have a connection for an interview with Johnny Famachon and Jeff Fenech. In London, I have a lot of friends to hook up with and hopefully you and Bennie will be among them. I'm hoping that when we are in Amsterdam that Lucia Rijker is in the Netherlands. If so, I'll get some footage of her, discussing her background leading up to her fighting career. She is not only the best woman boxer ever, but the greatest undefeated female kick boxer. Her only loss was to a man, a world champ Thai kick boxer. She is a great fighter in her own right.

My long range goals include a world-wide tour of boxing interviews, things that of themselves create stories. There is so much out there, so much great history, life. I want to learn it and share it. Maybe we can't change the course of boxing, but we can certainly tell it as it was, somebody needs to. Has to.

Isn't that what we are doing here?

Hey, happy birthday Danny.
Happy birthday to your daughter also Rick.
Being your daughter, Im sure she is a wonderful woman.

My Kirsten . . .

Since you mention it, Brian, let me be a proud dad for a moment. Kirsten graduated last year from San Diego State. She is in her first year of grad school, a three year program that will lead her to becoming a physical therapist. At five, she started in gymnastics and at 14 had a good paying after school job teaching gymnastics at her local YMCA. She also was a competitive swimmer-water polo player in high school. Today, while attending school, she works as Ventura County Lifeguard and also in the office of a top physical therapist. Their mother is drop dead gorgeous and so are the girls. Kirsten was the jock, her mom is an aerobic-pilates instructor, and I had a little athletic background myself.

Older sister Kimberly turns twenty-five next month. Two years ago she received her master's degree from UC Santa Barbara and is currently a substitute teacher in the Ventura County-Goleta area of Southern Cal.

I'll post some pics. They are great children, they have been over-achievers, and how lucky for me. They were everything in school that I was not, they take after their mom.

However, I remember watching Kirsten when she was about ten, in a gymnastics competition. She was doing her thing on the balance beam when she did a back walk-over and stepped over a little off the beam. She took a hard fall. It had to hurt. She rebounded without breaking stride and put herself back on the beam, where she completed her routine. I saw the bruise growing on her shin that had hit the beam as she fell. Needless to say, her error cost her the event. However, her show of courage brought to mind many things, things that make people quit, such as pain, fear, humiliation, etc. She didn't quit. I knew she would be OK in life.

Happy Birthday, Peanut!

Wonderful Rick.
Your Family is a treasure and youve done a great job.

It is also my daughter Maggies 13th birthday today March 5th.

Randy,

Pat O'Grady and Dick Sadler were good friends. I was in Pat's office in Oklahoma City a month after the fight when Sadler told Pat in a phone call that George did most of his training between the sheets with every Zaire gal who came along - and, evidently, there were plenty. Dick swore that Foreman lost because he left his stamina in the bedroom.

Tom, I find this hard to believe.

How rare. Is that true? I mean, that has to be a first time. I can't imagine a boxer actually choosing sex with a beautiful woman over a chance to trade blows with a sparring partner. I must consult with Roger on this. Rog, wouldn't you rather be slugging it out with Ken Norton than engaging in sexual pleasures with a beautiful young woman (or lots of beautiful women?) Especially when you were a young man.

I always turned my head from the ladies and chose the gym first. I swear on the name Mel Epstein.

WIFREDO GOMEZ

Roger Esty . . . "El Pintor De Los Campeons"

Thanks for the kind words Rick. Funny,now that I can see,I hope I can keep my focus. You see being blind in one eye made me look inside myself more. For me that's scary, but very rich. Now that I want to see everything in front of me that I couldn't see before,I hope life doesn't become superficial. When I close my eyes to go to sleep,maybe my dreams will keep that nuance ,that delicacy of life I can't see with 20/20 vision.

Gomez has one of the longest consecutive knockout streaks in boxing history (32). That's a helluva lot more (consecutively) than Earnie Shavers or George Foreman.

JUEVOS CON CHILES

Frank
My little grand daughter is sitting on our sofa watching novelas. She's 18 and 9 months pregnant. My wife is in the kitchen making her juevos con chiles. My wife will sleep with her tonight. My grand daughter will feel safe.

Everytime one of my grand daughters in TJ gets pregnant they stay with us until they have their babies. They must like my wife's juevos con chiles.

You and Maria make them feel safe, loved. That's a time when "home" is very important. Your Maria is a great woman. And of course, juevos con chiles

Gomez and El Gato . . .

Very true, Bennie. The only world champion is history to score more consecutive KO's than Gomez is our friend, Rodolfo "El Gato" Gonzalez. Gomez is #2, and both are comfortably ahead of names such as Armstrong, Olivares and company. When Gomez streak was ended by Sal Sanchez, he was brutally KOed. With our El Gato, his streak ended when a guy managed to stay the ten round distance with him. Gato KOed him a few weeks later and went on to start another KO streak. When Gonzalez finally suffered his first loss, he brought into the ring with him, a record of 52-0 (50 KO's), and unfortunatly liver cancer. Even in sickness, El Gato would continue on, rarely losing until his cancer disappeared and when it was gone, he began to destroy everything in sight in his quest to become a world champion, and an all-time KO record holder.

As "El Pintor De Los Campeons", Roger is creating art that will become as much a part of boxing history as the greats he puts on canvas. What a gift to boxing! He has the full support of the World Boxing Hall of Fame.

Tijuana Thunder Ticket Information
March 5, 2009 by Felipe Leon


After relentless investigation, SDFights.com has gotten exclusive information regarding ticket sales for “Latin Fury 8-Tijuana Thunder” featuring the Son of a Legend Julio Cesar Chavez Jr vs. Luciano Leonel Cuello and four more televised fights as part of the PPV event being held in Tijuana, MX.

After speaking with Top Rank’s publicist Lee Samuels and an inside source from Zanfer Promotions, it was disclosed exclusively to SDFights.com that the actual promoter of the March 28th fight card is neither Bob Arum’s Top Rank or Fernando Beltran’s Zanfer Promotions but the city of Tijuana. In other words, the city of Tijuana has bought the services of all the fighters on the card from their respective promoters whether it be Top Rank or Zanfer.

In turn, the city of Tijuana is in full control of the promotion of the fight card including venue, tickets and publicity. As far as the venue, it was first reported that the bouts would take place at the Calimax Stadium, the home of the Tijuana Potros, the local Mexican league professional baseball team. Now, it was revealed to SDFights.com that the venue has been changed to the Plaza Monumental, the municipal bullring although it has not been officially confirmed.

It was understood that the city of Tijuana was going to give for free all the seats in the stands of the Calimax Stadium, about 15,000, to city workers and their families and sell the 4,000 floor tickets to the public. Now with the change of venue, it is not known officially what the venue is capable of for boxing, how many tickets will be given for free and whether any tickets will be available to the public.

Rest assure that SDFights.com is working diligently to get our readers the latest breaking news regarding the latest information on “Latin Fury-Tijuana Thunder.”
