Carlos Zarate vs Rodolfo martinez

[greynotsoold]

Very high skill level in this fight; watch their feet. George Latka is a judge. He used to own a bar down in Orange County, Ca., near Huntington Beach High School (where all the girls look like Britney Spears) and I went there many times. Never when he was there, however. He had a boxing history that was astounding, including working the Sugar Ramos/Davy Moore fight at Dodger Stadium. talking to him would have been a religious experience for me. Anywho, a fight in 4 parts.

He was a very tidy and technical boxer. I have not seen him before.

At one point Zarate was 51-0 (50). He doesn't fight at all like you would expect a guy with all those KOs to fight. If that makes sense.
The guy that trained him also trained Alfonso Zamora and lupe Pintor ( they later broke ties with that trainer and fought Zarate), as well as Ruben Olivares and bazooka Limon. Also, the trainer of Zarate started Ricardo Lopez as a pro and the legendary Nacho beristain learned at his feet.

That is quality form and that history of skill means the man was a great fighter.

excellent power.
