  • "Octavio 'Famoso' Gomez, 115, and Felipe Gonzalez, 116 3/4, put on a fast and furious battle that saw both boys cut and bleeding during most of the scrap. Gomez' lethal jab had made an angry mess of Gonzalez' right eye by the 4th round but the courageous boy from Mexicali refused to submit. He absorbed tremendous punishment for the rest of the fight which went to Gomez by a unanimous decision." -Ring Magazine, November 1967 issue
