I remember around 1961, "The Dinah Shore Chevy Show" on NBC. I grew up in Burbank about two blocks from the NBC Studio, where the do the "Tonight Show". One day my friend and I were walking by the studio and we saw Dinah Shore being filmed as she pulled up to the NBC gate in a Chevy convertable. It was all staged for a commercial spot for her show.

That beating he got from Mosley affected me. Tough Tony Margarito from the Zona Norte in Tijuana. I remember all the little people along that street in the Coahuila where my mechanic is. They were very happy about Margarito. Something good came out of the Zona Norte. "Terrible" Morales' star was extiguished by the PacMan. He was knocked into retirement sitting on the ring apron looking at a fighter that he knew he could never beat again. Now he had his gym in the Zona Norte to go back to .
But there was Tony. Oscar didn't want to fight him. Tony was crude ,but what he lacked in finesse,he made up with will. If Jake LaMotta was the Raging Bull,Tony Margarito was a Toro Loco. Those kind of fighters don't care about being hit with punches as long as they can get inside and land with their crude swings. Marciano would miss by a mile,but he knew that sooner or later...
Tony was of that ilk. He wasn't a pretty boy. Couldn't speak English. Lived in a tough neighborhood. He was "puro Mexicano." Then the fight with Sugar Shane. A guy that looked like he was at the end. A guy who lost to a man Tony Margarito had pummled to the canvas. Cotto's last knockdown was one of the saddest scenes of submission in the history of the sport.
No. That night at the Staple Center would be a special night. They came to see the next Duran. Mosley would be crushed like Cotto. Oh,he'd move and try to keep the bull away from him,but how can a human being beat a bull? Mosley didn't have a sword.
But what we didn't know was that Tony ,who was beginning to resemble the great "Manos De Piedra",actually had stones hidden in his gloves. At least until Mosley's trainer caught him in the act. We'll never know if Tony had resorted to that before. Like the ball player before the press.
"Not me. Never used steroids,"
Or.
"Only did it once."
Or even more pathetic.
"I didn't know what was in the needle."
OK Tony you did it. License revoked. I guess the money will soften the blow. Now what? Your fans in the Coahuila and the Zona Norte have distanced themselves from you. I have. The aficianados that lived through your fights don't ever want to do that again. You know how it is with Latinos. If you stumble ,they will give you the last push.
My take on this? If you're as tough as you came off as,look inside yourself. Get rid of the people that told you to load up your gloves. You need to get your mind toughened up now. You've got a long way to come back. Pajarito and Battling Torres ,once they were derailed, couldn't do it,but they didn't cheat. They just lost their confidence. You need to get your confidence back first Tony.
My dream is to see you get back in the ring and get back up to the top. Remember, when you were at the top,it was an illusion. If you can get back up there on your own,you'll have more fans than before. I hope you can do it Tony.

Here's one that gets me. These guys that want to renew their wedding vows. What the hell is that all about? Think that if they do it again the marriage will get better? I'm tryin' to forget the day I got married. It was at Tijuana City Hall standing in line with about a hundred other people. Just me and the wife. No family. Nothin'. Get to the judge,or whatever he was,and he asks me if I have any witnesses. Sure. I always bring winesses with me. Who in the hell would want to witness this anyway?
Well I see these two bums drinkin' white lightning outside on the curb. Offer 'em a buck a piece to be my witnesses. I think that's how they made their money knowin' idiots like me would need witnesses in order to get married.
Rog...This Miguel Meza is the same Meza that got a win over J.C. Chavez by DQ. only to have the boxing commission in what ever state in Mexico they fought over turn the referee's decision, guess what? Chavez's uncle wasa on the commission.....dagosd2000 wrote:Liked the way Frankie let this kid punch himself out and then finished him off.kikibalt wrote:http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vVa7QqmCgJQ
