I’m very sorry to hear of Rogers passing. He is a wonderful man. Back in 08 I flew out to Los Angeles for the hall of fame inductions and was honored to meet him as well as a few others. Rick, Randy, Dan and spouses. It’s a cherished memory of mine. God bless all of you and you all are in my thoughts often. Brian

Brian, I always think of that event and how we all convened in that one bar before the event. I think we had it all arranged beforehand if I'm not mistaken. I believe you had already started this thread and we just sorted things out from there. Good times, my man.

Been awhile Dan. Roger on my mind lately as well as the hof event we met up at. Nearing retirement with the Hawks. 15 seasons on the road. But the point I want to make is, three Stanley cups, tons of memories etc etc but those hockey memories don’t compare to the event with you guys at that hof event in LA. Again, a cherished memory

Brian, great hearing from you. I was just checking this out which brought back awesome memories of that day, Enjoy.

Great hearing from you Dan. Thank you for this. What a great time !

Miguel Canto, a truly great world flyweight champion, has passed away. During 1976, I saw Canto fight Orlando Javierto in a fifteen-round bout at the Sports Arena in Los Angeles. In the bout, Canto made a successful title defense, winning a decision in a lopsided manner. RIP Champ.......

Hi everyone, I am searching on behalf of 1970s amateur light middleweight Ray Baeza (cousin of Mando Muñiz and Oscar 'The Boxer' Muñiz). Ray trained out of the IYBC gym on Whittier Blvd under Louie Jauregui and John Montes Sr. We are looking for video or program dates for his 1976 Olympic Auditorium draw against Robertson, his 1976 Las Vegas Golden Gloves appearance (the tournament moved from the Silver Slipper to UNLV), and his fight at Rudy's Pasta House on Olympic Blvd where he did an on-camera interview. Does anyone have these programs or tape logs in their collections? Thank you!!

According to Randy De La O, Frank "Kiki" Baltazar has passed away. I hope that Frank's family and friends accept my condolences.

Rest in peace Kiki.

Man, Frank was one of the founding members of this thread (actually started by Ex Pug). RIP Frank
