Looking for EXPUG!!!
Expug, I think I have to know you. My Dad owned The Arena at Division and Damen...not far from Clemente High School. Me and my two brothers trained there as well. I was there when Benitez, Duran, Mancini, Hearns, and many others came through. As a kid I used to spare with Heard and Mateo.My dad would train Mateo from time to time...hell, he even lived with us for a while. I remember Lira, and Lapaglia, and a guy named Crystal Kid Clayton. My dad gave him that name. I always thought it was silly cuz he couldn't take a punch. As a kid I thought Heard was GREAT! He would tell me and my brothers about fighting in Italy, France..he was cool, but "my God" I never smelled anything worse than his equipment after he worked out. The whole place smelled like Johnny! Some of the greatest fights I ever saw we're the sparring between the guys that trained there. If you watched Louie Mateo train (when he was being serious, and not laughing his ass off) you would think he was a real contender...but I remember what cuevas did to him. I remember his wife Griselle ran up to the ring and grabbed Cuevas's leg as he knocked Louie out! As a kid, I was crushed. Any ways I could go on for days. Hope you get this and respond.
