My wife Rosie is bad with names too.
Sometimes she asks me to take out my credit card and hand it to her and then she says "Thats who you are ?" and walks away with it.

And you fall for it every time, don't you Charlie??....

What's the name on your card Charlie it would'nt be( A Sucker) by any chance

Tony "Tiger" Baltazar, John, and Frankie Baltazar
John is owner of the Dunes on Sunset Blvd, Hollywood, Ca.



Don Fraser and friend

Frank, Tony and Frankie look good. Good to see Tony up and around and smiling.
Don looks good too! Looks like everyone had a good time. Sorry I couldn't make it.

My Parents Andrew (Andy) and Anita De La O, or as we liked to call them, Raggedy Ann and Andy. This photo is from the late 1940's, possibly 1948.

Randy, I too am sorry that you and Rick too couldn't make it, though Rick stopped by to drop off some DVD's, but he couldn't stay. It was a fun day for us. John, the owner of the Dunes sat with us for most of the time we were there, John is one funny dude, quick with one liners, has us laughing all day long. He had Dora the waitress take care of us like we were some kind of royalty. You know Connie really don't like to go to this functions, but she told me when we got home that she had a great time....

Classic photo. Extremely good looking your parents.

Marco Huck, and you word his name carefully in beer, defends his WBO cruiserweight title against Russian puncher Denis Lebedev on Saturday night in Berlin.
It is defence No. 5 for the gutsy, likeable, saleable Huck, a Serbian based in Germany who learned well from his only career defeat at the hands of Philadelphia's Steve "USS" Cunningham in an ambitious crack at the IBF cruiserweight title in 2007 (stopped in 12 rounds). Since then, Huck has reeled off 11 wins, picked up the European cruiserweight title with a 12-round stoppage of dangerous Frenchman Jean Marc Monrose and then the WBO belt with a solid 12-round decision over good Argentine Victor Ramirez, not to be confused with the animal that was Victor Galindez. Huck, 26, really is an improved young fighter.
Talking of animals, Lebedev looks a bit savage in the ring as he unloads quick, jarring southpaw left hands. He earned his chance with a thumping second-round stoppage of Alexander Alexeev earlier this year in Germany, so Team Huck know all about him, and he smashed Enzo Maccarinelli in three rounds last year in Manchester, so we know all about him, and we know that he is destructive. Unbeaten in 21 fights (16 early), Lebedev has taken out nine of his last 10 opponents, which looks great on paper but is not always such a great thing going into a potentially gruelling 12-rounder, the kind of gruelling 12-rounder Huck knows he can do. Lebedev last went the distance in 2004, a 10-rounder. He has never done 12 rounds.
I believe that Huck stands a real chance if he survives the early danger rounds with Lebedev, and Huck will be boxing to strict orders, guard high as usual, picking hard counters to try and discourage the challenger. Let us remember that Huck can whack himself. This is a man who stopped an opponent when suffering from a broken jaw, who was back in the ring just four months later, who chased an opponent right out of the ring.
Nevertheless, Lebedev, 26, holds the obvious edge in power and we can expect him to rock Huck a few times as Amir Khan was rocked a few times by Marcos Maidana over the weekend. Can he finish Huck? I might be going out on a limb here, I might look like as bad as all those tipsters who gave George Foreman no chance prior to Joe Frazier in 1973 (bar Wally Bartleman), but what the hell, I don't bet, and I don't think Lebedev will finish the champion.
Huck, much like Khan, has enough ability to get through the nightmares on the way to a late stoppage or a points win.

What crap! Pascal throwing his chest out like some kid in a school yard.
This is what contemporary boxing has to offer in lieu of a lack of true toughness.
We never got to see the real legends exhibit such cowardly bravado, however, we usually got a real fight.
I never have been a fan of Hopkins, but this phony who lost to a Carl Froch may lose his title to a senior citizen?
No wonder the MMA is doing so well.

Im with you on Hopkins Frank.Ive seen that guy so innactive in certain rounds. Hardly throwing any punches at all.Makes me wonder if in the old days,the ref might give him the hook. Call the fight a no contest.

Merry Christmas early to all my pals here. In town for a week or so. I can spend a little time with the crew here.

Merry Christmas to you, Brian.
Monica and I want to thank you again for introducing us to the Chicago Black Hawks, and Hockey at the Staples Center.
We've done something of interest every year since you started this thread nearly three years ago. Some great events.
I think one of the best awaits us in June, the CBHOF annual luncheon. Many of us will get together again.
This thread has been the foundation of some great memories. Memories of the past, and the memories we create.
Glad your back home for awhile. It's not easy when work takes us from home, kids, etc. Believe me, I know.

Slumber Party . . .

Frank, I came across a box with some old VHS tapes in it.
I noticed a couple Hopkins fights, effective medicine for the insomniac.
All you need is a VHS machine and a comfortable sofa.
More effective than a handfull of barbituates.

How about this strange fantasy match-up:

Jimmy Heair vs Victor Ortiz (at 135-140?)
. . . (Heair as he was at same point in career as Ortiz is today)

Heair wasn't the best L.A. had to offer the world in the early 70's.
But he was tough, motivated and in shape. He fought all the time. Several times in one week early on.
I used to think Jimmy Heair looked more like a farm hand than a fighter, but he was definitly a fighter.
Ortiz?
