Wow, that's crazy!!!

I know many will question my musical tastes, but I do like George's music. In the 80s growing up in Puerto Rico, you couldnt go to town without listening to his music from one of the many stores that sold albums!

Apparently, yet the interview was in 1983..so there might have been some as of yet unrecorded by boxrec bouts...

I saw an interview with BG when he first became famous and he happened to say something like "I can throw a pretty mean punch".
