If there is anyone here who can help I would really appreciate it. Iam looking for news articles and photos. Also does anyone know if any of the boxers that he fought are still alive. I would like to contact them and get more history of my Father. I have provided a link with my Father's info. I would like to make a wikipedia page for him and get as much first hand info from anyone that I can. http://www.boxrec.com/boxer_display.php?boxer_id=17548
Thanks for any help anyone here can offer. please fell free to email or pm me.
Thank You,
Steven Castellano

LOL @ Decagon...that was fooking hilarious


the name does sound familiar...i do say that much. but i'd just imagine your father was nothing more than a journeyman clubfighter. so iono if much material be on him. I'd suggest going to a library and looking up records, newspaper clippings through there. :TU:

well thanks for the help

he got in the ring with Little Poison who was ahighly ranked bantamweight. Sounds like your Dad was around when every second mexican could have been a worthy champion. Bummer!

Certainly a bad time to be a lower weight fighter...a great time for fans, but a tough time for the fighters! Joe Becerra, Raul Leanos, Jose Toluca Lopez, Vicente Saldivar, Ruben Olivares, Jesus Pimentel, Jose Medal, Chu Chu Castillo, Rafael Herrera and Efren Torres to name a few…and those were just a few of the top lighter weight Mexican fighters.
