The CBHOF will hold it's biggest event to date on October 20th, at the Sportsman's Lodge in Studio City. This year's inductees include world champions Sergio Martinez, Tony Lopez, Lucia Rijker, Rocky Marciano, Joe Frazier, Floyd Patterson, Kid Gavalin and Carl "Bobo" Olson, HBO's Jim Lampley, boxer & trainer Rudy Hernandez, world ra...ted Adrian Arreola, boxer-historian Randy De La O, knockout artist Vic "The Kid" Ponce, Calif. champ Norman Parra, heavyweight contender Charlie Norkus, James "The Heat" Kinchen, trainers Al Stankie, Burke Emory and Rudy Ayon, referee Fritz Werner, heavyweight Jimmy Rosette, light-heavyweight contender Jesse Burnette, Georgie Gonzalez and Rudy Tellez.

A great lunch is served and the best of boxing will be on hand. The CBHOF event is the only major boxing Hall of Fame event held on the West Coast and each year the luncheon is a sell out. The fight crowd turns out for this event each year, the great boxers and boxing personalities. Meet and visit with the best of boxing.

Tickets are now available and I recommend ordering early.
Tickets are $50 each, or $500 for a table (10 guests per table).
The price includes a great lunch, plus tax & tip, a collector's Souvenir journal, comfortable table seating and an unforgetable afternoon with boxing legends at a legendary Southern California event center.

For tickets you may call CBHOF President Don Fraser at: (818) 761-4887

Advertising rates for the Collector's Souvenir Journal are also available.

This is a Great Card for HOF lineup. Thank You for the great honor for my father, and I plan to be there to accept the Honor you bestow on him. The Journal itself could be a Great Collector's Issue with names like that.
Congratulations to you and your Dad, Chuck.
Ditto!

Thanks Tom, My printer/scanner went out on me the other day. I am in the midst of getting an entire new system from Dell now. (My old computer system was 7 years old- the gerbil who was spinning the wheel inside of it finally died-LOL).

As soon as it comes through and I get it together I can scan more things and post. Thanks.

Thanks Frank. For some intangible reason, this is my favorite "posed" photo of Aragon.

If it was a dictionary, and you were going to define the word "prize-fighter" with a picture, this is the one you would use, I think. Aragon looks every inch the double-tough prize-fighter. Just a great shot!

I found this to be a bit humorous-I know a few laddies from over the pond read here and this would be interesting. The few lines about Archie Moore show you what I fine man he was always.
