	~~Apparently this~~ '''Robert Escalante''', a professional boxer, at ~~times has been confused with~~ the ~~amateur boxer~~ [[Robert ~~Lee~~ Escalante]].		'''Robert Escalante''' was an amateur boxer from Seguin, Texas, USA. (Seguin lies 35 miles to the east of San Antonio, and about 60 miles south of Austin, in South Central Texas.) He began his amateur career under the tutelage of former professional boxer [[Rocky Contreras]].

			In his debut at the Texas State [[Golden Gloves]] Tournament, Escalante was KO'd in the first round. He later returned to twice become the State Champion.

			He was banned from amateur boxing for a short time during 1974-75, because he was alleged to have fought as a professional. After an investigation showed doubts that he was the pro fighter of the same name, his amateur status was again recognized. It is likely however that he did indeed have a single pro fight in 1973 in Sprinfield, Missouri, in which the local ''New-Leader'' reported him as Robert Escalante of Fort Worth, making his pro debut.

			In his amateur comeback, to defend his Fort Worth Golden Gloves title, Escalante lost to [[Ronnie Adams]], who himself would also be re-established as an amateur after being accused of being a pro.

			Escalante aspired to one day turn professional. However, around 1981, he was pulled over in Seguin for a minor traffic violation. It escalated into a scuffle with several police officers who allegedly beat him severely. Because of the injuries he suffered, his boxing career was over. He now suffers from extreme memory loss and shows signs of early dementia.

	Robert Lee Escalante is from Seguin,Tx.. Seguin lies 35 miles to the east of San Antonio,Tx. and about 60miles south of Austin,Tx. in South Central Texas. I don't know exactly when his amature boxing career started.. But, I do know that it was under the tutalage of a Former Professtional boxer Rocky Contreras. In his debut at the State Tounrnament Robert was KO'd in the first round.. However, this did nothing in his desire to get back to the State Tourney..

	In fact he kept returning to the State Tournament and was State Champion twice either prior or after the 1974 Championship. (I'm not to sure on the exact dates) Robert kept boxing aspiring to one day turn pro. However around 1981. Robert was pulled over in Seguin for a minor traffic violation.. It escalated into a scuffle of several police officers fighting with him and beating him severly. Because of the injuries he suffered.. His boxing career was over...Unfortunatly, he now suffers from extreme memory loss and he recently started showing signs of early dimemtia.
