Yeah, he was an outstanding fighter. His win over Oliva in Italy is throwback.Seamus wrote:I know it was a terrible call, but in fairness Juan Coggi should be remembered for being an otherwise outstanding fighter.

I forwarded these great photos to Audie Aragon and asked if the little boy is he, or his brother, the late Art Jr.
I'm sharing all these photos with Audie, and told him we want more when possible.
This thread has taken a nice turn into the era of Art Aragon. Thanks Cholo and Frank. Lets keep it going!
Frank, Looks like the Olympic Auditorium?, I see that Keeny Teran fought Bobby Garza on the undercard of Aragon/Carter lightweight title fight......kikibalt wrote:
