To the board moderators, Buzz, etc.

I'm just curious, more than 6500 posts have been logged in less than six months since this thread's inception. I know this is meaningless, but I have only been a part of this thread, and rarely stray into other threads of this forum. Have other threads grown to this size in such a length of time? I know this, we continue to grow here, and believe it or not, this is just the tip of the iceberg when it comes to Classic West Coast Boxing information. Even if future posting is limited to the contributions of the current "regulars", NEW information of this thread from the past will surface, with rarely anything being rpeated, unless of course it pertains to the topic being discussed.

It's a nice place for us to get together and it wil be a long time before it dies out. It would literally take many years for us to exhaust all information of interest regarding this subject. I'm in the process of digging out a lot of memorabelia which I will forward to Frank for posting. Not just fan stuff, but documents from the inside, oictures, etc.

Thank you at Boxrec for supporting and encouraging this thread.

Vasquez fought for over 24 years (1950-1974) and was in and out of the lightweight rankings in the 50s. Vasquez fought various world champions and beat boxers like Ralph Dupas, Paolo Rosi, Teddy Davis. His final tally was 102-40-4 (34 KOs). Boxing will miss these great warrior. may he rest in peace.

Our thoughts and prayers goes out to his family and friends.

Frank, I remember in the 70's looking thru Ring Record Books and charting records of various boxers. I looked up the names of my favorite Mexican boxers, and thru that I would come across names such as Babe Vasquez. I'd looked up his record back then and wow, the names, the amount of fights, where he fought, who he fought, and when he fought. It was seeing Vasquez's record that stimulated my curiosity and interest in this fighter. I'd go to the gym and talk with those who knew of him, who had fought him, or had seen him fight. I recall George Parnassus was always a great source, when I was close to him thru Suey Welch and Mel Epstein. Again I must ask you to post the record of this Mexican boxing legend. Thanks Frank. And to Baby Vasquez, rest in peace.

Hey Pug, speaking of Milo Savage, you may be aware that Savage fought Gene LeBell in a boxer vs. wrestler type match. I have the details, but for now I'll just say that Gene chocked-out the middleweight contender with his "sleeper hold".

Rick, Lebell as you know was /is quite a carachter.
He was also a complete badass as a judoman and grappler.
He is the real deal in that arena.
Milo wore a gi top in against the two time National open division and heavyweight Judo Champ.
Thats Genes game. He gets a grip on anyone and its a problem.

Arturo Frias vs Ray Mancini

I saw this a while back. It's funny how the mind can play tricks on you. I first saw this fight like evreyone else, on May 8, 1982. Now back in the day, before youtube and camcorders and all the other high tech stuff that still befuddles me, unless you were lucky enough to get an 16mm film of the fight, you were sh*t out luck when it came to seeing a replay of a fight. All you had was your memory and a Ring magazine article.

For some reason, all these years I had thought Frias got stiffed in this fight. Why? I really don't know, but he didn't, Mancini won that fight fair and square. I do know that youtube and other high tech cameras and video cams are the best thing to happen to boxing fans, well, except for the ring card girls but I digress, with youtube you can look up almost any of your favorite fighters and catch most if not all of their fights, at least in part. It all happened so fast we kind of take it for granted. I'm a big fan of youtube.

I always liked Art Frias. He would come by the Main Street gym for some sparring. This was one tough kid. nice as hell but tough as nails. He sparred just the way he fought. it was always intense. The thing is he didn't have much of a defense and he got hit a lot. He always looked like he just had a tough fight. Which, I suppose, he did. In the long run I think that hurt his career.

Randy, I didn't know Art Frias because he came up a little after me, however, I have a funny story that Frankie Duarte told me concerning himself, Randy Shields and Frias, all were amateurs and in Boston for the 1973 Nat'l Golden Gloves Tournament. All three were on the Los Angeles team, and their head coach was Frank Baltazar. The story would be inappropriate for me to share here (and I know Frank would agree), so I'll wait until we all get together at the WBHOF event in november. Shields validated Duarte's story, and neither one of them are BS'ers. It's just a funny little tale of something that took place in the hotel after all three had been eliminated from the comp. That was a pretty strong L.A. team in '73, but only Roy Hollis took home a Nat'l title that year.

BIG problem, Pug. Just ask Steven Segall who made the mistake of disrespecting Judo Gene on a film set in the late 80's. Segall, a renowned 24 karat A-hole tried to surprise Gene with one of his "aikido" moves during a lunch break on the set. Gene works in the film industry as a stunt man, and quickly trapped Segall in his "sleeper hold", leaving the "star" unconcious on the stage floor, making strange gurgling noises. The studio PR dept. tried to sweep the incident under the carpet and prevent word getting out about Segall's embarrassing experience, however, thanks to a few crew members whom I know, word spread quickly in this town. Gene avoided discussing the incident publicly, for fear that Segall might hurt his working in the business, however, a few months back when we talked, I had a good laugh with Gene when he filled me in on the details. Segall should have known better, Gene is a real fighter, unlike the stuntmen/actors who fall for him in front of the cameras.

The ending of Mancini-Frias is just like the way Chacon stopped Frias a few years later: Art on the ropes, not holding, not really doing anything but getting caught. Art clearly wasn't used to being pushed back to the ropes. The California state Commission retired Frias after the Chacon war.

Wow, with a face like that the guy must have been able to fight! Oscar must be out slashing his wrists somewhere. Mirror, mirror on the wall...

Rick , thanks for the confirmation of the Lebell - Segal story.
I had heard it , but never knew if it was true or not.
Now, Im sure that Segal went nighty night.

This is my oldest daughter, Kimberly, in the mid-80's with her dog "Trevor". Today she is 24, and teaches elementary school in Ventura County. Her younger sister, Kirsten, 22, is a life guard and recently graduated from San Diego Stae University.
