Cholo wrote:ART ARAGON, The Golden Boy of California Boxing, a youthful veteran of 13 years of pro battling, will be out to retain his supremacy as the greatest box office attraction in the history of local fisticuffing. Art has drawn more then one million dollers since first donning the gloves professionally and otherwise carved an undisputable niche in the annuals of fistiana.
Although he was considered a much better-then-average boxer at the outset of his career, Golden Boy began to display a fearful ability to smack a man down as early as his third pro start, when he stiffened Frank Gallardo in two rounds. It is in part this tremendous punching power that has made Art Aragon one of the great contemporary ring figures. Art has knocked out 48 of his 91 professional opponents; he has finished off 14 of these in the very first round...11 in the second heat. An unquestionable sign of a great puncher is the fact that he is apt to stop you in the first or the very last. Aragon has won 6 times by knockout in the last sheduled round, and with just seconds to go.
A former California Lightweight Champion, Aragon has defeated 8 of the state titleholders, ranging from the featherweight division to the midleweight. Art has no managerial ties at present. He is advised by Ray Luna and trained by Lee Boren and Ben Conyers....This is from the Art Aragon vs Cisco Andrade fight program, Wednesday Night August 29, 1956 Wrigley Field Los Angeles....Frank did you see this one? do you know much about Ray Luna, Lee Boren and Ben Conyers?....

Paul, I did see the Aragon/Andrade fight live. Ray Luna I knew from the time he worked with Keeny Teran. Lee Boren I did not know, did see him work with Aragon though. Benny Conyers I knew for many years....

Boxer and Hammer, many thanks from Connie...

Fighting at the Olympic . . .

Paul, for me fighting at the Olympic was the realiziation of a dream. I don't think most boxers look at it the way I did.
I fought there nine times as a pro, about a dozen times as an amateur or Jr. Glover, and I'll never forget the way I felt.
I had a couple really great fights there, that the fans loved, and showed their appreciation by showering the ring with coins after the final bell.
I also got my butt whipped there by a pretty good bantam named Bennie Rodriguez in my 4th pro fight. I stayed on my feet, but it was all his fight.

I remember the electricity in the air when I came down the aisle toward the ring the night that Ramos fought Rojas.
I was the 2nd fight that night. Besides Ramos we had Rojas, Armando Muniz and Frankie Crawford on the card, some of the best of the era.
The place was packed from floor to the rafters. As I made my way to the ring and passed under the balcony, the crowd roared, and I gained energy.
When I first stepped into the ring and awaited the introductions, my manager Johnny Flores tapped me on the shoulder and pointed out the celebrites at ringside.
There was gangster Mickey Cohen sitting with B-movie star, Edy Willimas, Also Connie Stevens, Ryan O'Neal, Burt Reynolds, Chuck Connors, Bill Cosby, Robert Goulet. The were all looking up at me. Some of the world's greatest entertainers, and now I was expected to entertain them. I did my best.

I was eighteen years old that night, and this was my seventh pro fight. To me, that was a dream realized, it didn't matter that I would never fight for a title, or achieve world ranking. I was fighting on TV from the Olympic, in front of a sold out house. There is nothing better than to hear the voice of Jimmy Lennon introduce you to the crowd. I've told that story here before, and will probably repeat again.

One the GREATEST moments of my life!!!! A goal achieved!

Paul, you gotta watch this one. You'll love it!!! Guaranteed.

Cholo wrote:Rick, Something like the Gil Cadilli documentary would great, i've seen the Cadilli doc on youtube. Art Aragon is a must....

Yes Paul, that type of film, but done by professionals.
Art deserves the best, especially when it comes to film making quality.
His history is a part of entertainment history as well as boxing.

I want to commend Gil Cadilli Jr. for taking it upon himself to create a great documentary on his father.
The material was solid and I enjoyed every moment.

Let me share the fact that an award winning documentary film maker, Alan Swyer, is in the final stages of editing "Boxeo".
Boxeo is a docu on the great Latino boxers that will loikely be released on HBO later this year.
Frank Baltazar and I were interviewed by Swyer as was just about every great Latino boxer living.
He went to Mexico, Puerto Rico, Panama and of course, Los Angeles in putting his great film together.
You can bet that Art Aragon will have a place in this project. It's just about complete, and I can't wait to see it.

Frank, how was the party last night?

Remy . . . Thanks for the memory. Yes, when I was just starting out in the film industry Burt Reynolds saw me while I was working on a set lighting rigging crew at Universal Studios.
We spoke breifly, and I was requested to work on Reynolds' next movie, which would be my first, "Smokey & The Bandit". We were on location for several months, filming thruout the South. I would meet Jackie Gleason, Sally Field, and Burt's best friend, director Hal Needham. I brought home a lot of great memories from that one. I'll never in my life meet a man who could drink as heavily from morning to night as Jackie Gleason. Gleason was was an amazing man, and he never missed a beat. Drunk or sober, he was the same, a total pro with a very strong personality. I remember first thing in the morning, the prop master would hand Jackie a large cup, the size of a large soft drink cup you get at sporting events. The cup was filled with Vodka. When it was empty, it would be refilled. I never saw a man consume so much alcohol and stay and walk without missing a step, talk with out slurring his speech or goofing up a line. In Gleason's era, you had to be a pro. I love the old time actors like I do the legendary boxers. They were just better at their craft than today's lot, overall.

Rick, great story, thanks for sharing. Fighting at the Olympic, for an L.A. guy, is a monumental accomplishment! what a great memory to have. You are truly a part of the history of boxing in Los Angeles. No one can take that away from you.

I was always a fan of Jackie Gleason, so were my parents. Both the Jackie Gleason show and the Honeymooners were part of our regular television watching. The Smoky and the bandit movies were intentionally campy but they were great. Gleason as Maish Rennick, manager of Mountain Rivera (Anthony Quinn) in Requiem For a Heavyweight, was great. The movie was great.

Rick, Fighting at the Olympic, what can i say, i envy you buddy. I boxed in many amateur contests and it could be exciting, the thrill of winning there's nothing like it, not so great when you were getting your arse kicked.... But to fight in a place like the Olympic were all those greats fought, super stuff, thanks for sharing Rick.....

"The Ring"

Frank, "The Ring" i've seen it, near the end when Tommy fights Art there's a few seconds of Aragon/Salas, there's also a clip of Art getting into the ring for the Salas fight,Frank do you know how many of Artie's fights were filmed....

I dont believe that I've ever seen a post on Canto Robledo, the boxing trainer that had no sight....anyone have thoughts on him and how he was able to overcome the lack of sight and still train fighters?

The Energy Mando Ramos Generated . . .

There are several boxers that come to mind when I think of my era's best at generating excitement at the Olympic, but none like Mando Ramos.
Mando wasn't the only local superstar, as we also had heavyweight Jerry Quarry, and others.
However, when it was announced that Mando Ramos had signed for a fight, the tickets were soon sold out.
It was like the second coming of another "Golden Boy". That's what the press was trying to push, tagging Mando the "New Golden Boy".
However, Mando was an original, and he knew that there was only one Golden Boy, and that was Art Aragon.

I credit Art for being a gentleman about the whole thing. He had to feel funny reading of a new Golden Boy, but he was gracious enough to give Mando a pair of his gold trunks.
That was a first class gesture from a boxing legend. Mando appreciated it, but assured Art that he was aware that there was only ONE Golden Boy, Art Aragon.
Mando denied the tag, and that in itself was a class act. Paul Gonzalez was later tagged "Golden Boy" and it didn't stick. Of course, Oscar De La Hoya would end up accepting the name.

I hold no hard feelings toward Oscar for taking the Golden Boy tag, sadly, only true L.A. boxing fans are aware that there was once another Golden Boy.
It was Hap Navarro that made the "Golden Boy" tag officially Art Aragon's, having actor William Holden (star of the movie "Golden Boy") bequeath the title to Art before one of his Hollywood Legion appearances. Those were great days in the world of entertainment and boxing, when one held hands with the other. Both Hollywood publicists and Hap Navarro, a man who knew how to sell a great idea, made the most of the Golden Boy designation.

I was talking with Audie Aragon the other day. He was remembering stories his father told him about hanging out with the Rat Pack, Sinatra, Dean Martin, Sammy Davis Jr. Joey Bishop, Peter Lawford. "Those were realy wild times," Audie said, "My dad said those parties were orgies."

I agree with Cholo, an Art Aragon documentary would touch a lot of people. Mando Ramos was heading down the same path as the Golden Boy, however, sadly he was side tracked.

We really had it good in L.A. in days gone by, great boxing, great boxers.

Canto . . .

Josh, if you look back thru the thousands of posts on this thread, you'll find discussion of Canto Robledo. Frank & I both knew Canto pretty well.
Recently, Villa Park in Pasadena unveiled a beautiful mural dedicated to Canto. Canto's brother, Joe Robledo, was recently inducted into the CBHOF. Canto's son Joe is a friend of mine.
But you are right, there is plenty of room here to open a conversation on this unique personality from Classic American West Coast Boxing.

No date at the moment. The film is nearly cut, and a promo as well.
HBO broadcast Alan's last major documentary, "Beisbol", which chronicled Latino's influence on the sport of baseball.
Alan is one of the best, and an Academy Award winner. He has put together a number of successful feature films and documentary work.
He was the man who produced, "The Buddy Holly Story" awhile back, and many others.
Alan and I stay in touch, and last year he attended the screening of some of my interviews at a Golden State Boxer's Assoc. meeting.
The moment I have a date for the release of "Boxeo" I will post it here.
