RIP, Champ!

You gave my favorite fighter, Roberto Duran, one of his toughest battles of his career.

RIP. Fought well against a peak Duran.

I think that Ray Lampkin was NABF Lightweight Champion at some point.

He was a very tough fighter. He gave my man Roberto Duran one of the toughest battles and it happened in Duran's hometown of Panama City.

He also lost to Esteban De Jesus twice.

From Portland, OR, he was very good.
