Frank, being a grandparent is a great thing. I forget that Tony is not too far behind me in age. In my minds eye I still see him as he was when he was fighting. Now he's a grandpa! Time flies when you're having fun.

Yes, it's the best!

On hand as guests was a former heavyweight contender who fought alot of greats from the 1950's & 1960's. He fought fighters Eddie Machen, Harold Carter, Henry Cooper, Mike DeJohn,Nino Valdes,George Chuvalo,Zora Folley, Muhammad Ali (Cassius Clay at time),and fought Jimmy Carter and in his last pro fight, against Jerry Quarry both of those in The Olympic Aud in LA.

He is Alex Miteff. Alex is about 76 yrs old now and was accompanied by his son and his son's friend. Alex suffered somewhat of a medical setback last month (son didnt go into detail) and to be placed in a nursing care facility now. He can stand and take a few steps,but travels mostly by wheelchair. His mind is still sharp,but speaks very low and slowly. He was born in Argentina (Held So.Amer. Hevywt Champ Title) and his son speaks to him in Spanish.

I managed to talk to him for about 10 minutes. We talked on his fights in the 50's mostly and he remembered that he fought a pre-lim fight vs John Henry in St Nicks in 1956.His 6th pro fight.He trained in Stillman's Gym with my father in New York.
My father was the televised Main Event against Joe Rowan that night.
I told his son that the original tape I have of broadcast has the TV show opening up and showing the last two RDs of the Miteff vs Henry fight before my dad's Main Event.
The posted videos on the web had cut out Miteff's fight ending.
I told son I'll send copy to him,as they only have the Ali-Miteff fight on tape.

Here is picture of Miteff (red shirt) from last nite and Ring 8 members.


Also on hand was Gary Shaw, famed promoter of todays better boxing events.

He talked on many subjects,but it finally got around to Mayweather-Ortiz fight.
He said fault on the stoppage of the fight can be placed all around on this one.

He mentioned that Ortiz literally jumped up to intentional headbutt Mayweather was obvious
and halting the fight to deduct points was correct. He went on to say that 2 points should have been deducted not one point by Cortez. By rights, Cortez, after halting the fight,should have had Mayweather retreat to a neutral corner, and Ortiz led by hand to center of ring and faced each judge taking the 2 pts away from Ortiz. He then, after calling time in,turned to face judges-probably telling them that he is the most fair judge in the world, he should have called time in and kept facing fighters at all time.
But he said the biggest fault of night lies with Ortiz himself. Not adhering to the number one rule of fighters-Protect yourself at ALL times.

Charlie. I wrote a long post and accidentally deleted it. Just as well, long winded rambling.
Frustrated. I'm truly impressed with Ring #8, and I'd like that for Los Angeles, that solid support of generations of family. As far as I'm concerned boxing is dead. I have my own method for preserving boxing history, and that is what I will do. I wish I could start "selling" next year's CBHOF event right now. If it happens, I'll personally add 100 guests to the attendees and sell more adds than anybody ever thought possible. This is already in the works, but there is not much I can do about it right now until the event is a go.

Question for Boxrec? . . .

Boxrec usually posts the names of deceased world boxing legends at the top of their Main Page.
If the practice has not been stopped, George Benton's name deserves to be posted. My opinion.

Benn, Watson and Eubank

Time sure does fly fast when you are having fun, Randy, for me it has flown so fast that I find myself being a great-grandpa for the fourth time. I can't complain though, it's been a fun life with Connie all the way... , even if I have to do house work now and then....

I wouldnt think this would be a recent shot as all 3 look like they can still go a few Rds in the ring.

He would certainly seem to merit it either as a trainer or as a fighter. As both, it should have been automatic . . .

What the Oxnard "Cobarde" had to say about what happened Saturday night . . .

In a recent interview by TMZ, Ortiz who was making the first defense of the belt he won via decision in a fight of the year candidate with Andre Berto in April, told TMZ Floyd Mayweather caught him completely off-guard with a sucker punch and said he only put his hands down because he was waiting for the ref’s signal … and Floyd clocked him with a “totally unfair” left hook.
-------------------------------------

Personally, I wanted to shake Floyd's hand.
And I'm no fan of Floyd.
As video footage validates, nobody was happier by the outcome than Ortiz.
Smiling, raising the new champs hand, etc. If Floyd wasn't so quick, Ortiz would have likely kissed his ass.

I remember Sedillo very well. I think he was from Indio, along with his brother Frank. They started as amateurs on the Olympic cards on thursday, along with a stablemate named Richard Armendariz. Later turned pro for awhile.

You are probably right. Chino and Indio are in the same area, I believe. I get them confused.
But I knew they were not from L.A. as listed on the record.

Frank was the older brother, started before the Olympic featured amateurs, but Bobby and stablemate Armendariz were both part of the "Youth Development Program". Lots of pros came form those amateur fights.

Wasn't Campos one of Johnny Forbes' fighters?

Another Batman . . .

Tomorrow I begin work on the next Batman feature.
The production is already in progress and has about six weeks of filming left.
There is talk of us working seven days a week, which is kind of a killer, but I've done it before.
Thanks to the I-Phone, I can stay connected.
I'm setting it up so I will not have to work during June of next year.
If the CBHOF event takes place, I will have a full month to devote to helping Don & Frank.
Regardless of the inductees, we will out sell any previous event.
From my stand point, this is my favorite day of the year. I can make a difference, believe it or not!

Frank, is there some thought that the CBHOF event won't happen next year? I defeated a 3-pound burrito in Denver last week (in 28 minutes). I'm planning on kicking the Manuel's a** next June . . .

Benn, Watson and Eubank

Great picture, Bennie...

Nigel Benn,wow,great fighter. In fact all 3 of them.
When was this picture taken Bennie ?
I wouldnt think this would be a recent shot as all 3 look like they can still go a few Rds in the ring.

I'm not sure when it was taken, Charley. Watson suffered brain damage after he was stopped by Eubank back in 1992 but has learned to walk again. He stopped Benn in 1989, standing up to the unbeaten favourite and boxing his ears off. They are all friends now.

Rick, both of the Campos brother's were started in boxing by Johnny Forbes, but at one point in their pro careers ended up with other managers. Johnny had many of his protégés; stolen from him by big money guys...

I know that Forbes' fighters always seemed to be handled by others as pros, Gig Rooney, Ray Luna, etc. When you think of the absolute best trainers/teachers in boxing, I believe that very few are well known. Like Forbes, these men start a kid out, school him in the fundementals, spend their money, drive them to contests, teach them how to live as a boxer, and so on. Then after sterling amateur careers "the buzzards" as Mel Epstein would call them, swoop in and seperate the boxer from his mentor. Suddenly you see an Angelo Dundee, or Emmanuel Steward in their corners. We really don't see the best trainers as they are in the gyms developing the boxers that somebody else will eventually take credit for teaching.
