He was undefeated as an amateur and a profesional.

He is none other then.


































Ricardo 'Finito' Lopez


2nd picture is an autographed glove.

Mick thanks for sharing, your so lucky to be able to go to these events. I think I have the right to hate of you, specially because of the picture above :(

Did finito actually wear those gloves? your so lucky man.

p.s.

the more I look at salvador sanchez the more I keep thinking could he possibly be related to eric morales cause he kinda looks like eric but with a small mexican afro.

Don't hate me man. I'm happy to share all of this with you guys. Please belive me that if anyone of you or at least most of you if you lived in my city I'd invite you everytime with me man. It's unfortunate that we can't all get together and attend events I think it would be great.

No, :( I had those gloves here in my home I usually buy gloves and things like that and when I go to events I take them with me. I wish he would have worn them that would have been great. :)

No relation at all Julius different families different states different decendents.
How do you like that Pac frame?

There was a guy there selling a black Cleto Reyes leather glove that was signed by Pacquiao in that metalic liquid marker.
He was selling it for 100 dlls.

He also had a huge HD picture of PAC head shot with blood on his face when he sustained the cut in the Morales fight also autographed by Pac.
He wanted 150 for that. Great picture great quality.
The guy not only had pictures of Pac signing the pic and gloves but he also had video of the signing.

If anyone has any questions or comments or what's a little more talk about a certain fighter let me know and I reply with some stuff.

I was joking about hating off you bRo, you know mahal na mahal kita ;) :kissing:

yea I liked that frame pacman tribute it was nice I would actually be interested in buying from that guy you were talking about with the signed pacman memorablia. The one thing I have to have is one of finito's sign gloves, like the one you got. Man if I ever get one thats been worn inside the ring in an actual boxing match by finito, I would bury that with me man ;D

Thanks for that Mr. CutMeMick,

It must have been an amazing experience. Honestly I got chills looking at the "Chico" display video. I still can't believe he's gone.
Good job on your presentation btw it was almost like being there.

CC#2073 Gamo...

You know what's funny that as I walked around that place and saw for example the Pac frame I thought about Pacstraight & Julius and some other Pac fans. Then I saw some Cotto posters and Margarito posters and I thought about you and DannyG.
I saw some stuff on Arguello & Duran and I thought about 2 posters whos name I'll leave out when they questioned their greatness.

Anyway...Thanks for the words Gamo. Carlos Ortiz was a true gentlemen with me shook my hand and talkes for about 3 minutes briefly about his fights with Ismael Laguna he said Ismael was a tough fighter cause he moved well and was never in one place and in that first fight he just couldnt find him but he went to the gym and trained and trained he said come the 2nd fight he had figured Ismael out. He talkes about Sugar Ramos another great fighter he said Sugar hit hard like he had rocks in his gloves. ;D He made quick mention of his fight with Flash he said Flash was a perfect fit for him cause that's pretty much all you would see was a flash of his hands.


'Finito' Lopez was just crazy man.. I mean I told him how huge of a fan I was I made mention that I felt he got robbed in the 1st Alvarez fight cause one of the judges scored it 63-68 in favor of Alvarez that's just crazy that Conde had it scored that way. He smiled and laughed and said it's OK I beat him in the rematch. Shook his hand and I walked away.

The time I was there was like in slowmotion man I was caught in between time. Living today and seeing today but with images and stories of the past. The Chico display was great and I tell you being able to touch his shoes and his robes was something special man.

And one that I would REALLY like to have is Hattons but I know thats a LOOOOONG shot..... Hoping I can win this years Prediction Contest fucken loving that 'Lonsdale' Team Hatton shirt...... What a beauty that is.... 8)

---

Since this talk I've been able to get 2 (Morales & Lopez) of the ones I listed and if I wouldn't have been out of town for last years induction weekend I would have gotten Duran. :(
So I think I'm doing pretty good....

cc #2000

Mick, thanks for taking the time to post all that stuff...

It must have been great to meet Finito.

Has George Benton been ill? He looks very frail in that picture. I remember him looking a lot heavier when he was training all the great Main Events fighters like Pernell, Evander, Meldrick Taylor, etc.

Haugen doesn't look too healthy either.

CC#615 Daxx the tribute was great and they did great. Yeah! I could just imagine the type of applaud and reception he got at the cermony.

CC#345 SweetPea thank you for taking the time to comment & view the thread.

Meeting 'Finito' is defintely one of my fav. highlights as a fan.

About Geroge I'm not too sure on anything but I did however see a women that walked up into him about every hour and whisper something in his ear. I'm guessing it was like a "Are you OK" or "How you feelin".....
Also you gotta do some math and figure out his age I mean yeah! I know you probably have that image of him with those guys but that was how long ago?

Thanks for the pics, cutmemick. I especially love the Pacquaio frame. It makes me proud of being his "kababayan" (countryman). cc +2006

Thanks Bwoss!!
I had a ball mate.... Got a chance to meet some really good people and some legendary fighters.

CC Mick, i had planned to be there this year, but situations changed and gotta save my money now. But it's an ambition to be there one day and take it all in. I think it would literally be the Holiday of a lifetime for me and one day i will make it happen
