I want to send Cruz up to Los Angeles, California for 2-Months, to get him some good gym-sparring, and
then pick up a '2-Bouts in Los Angeles at the 'Olympic Auditorium' before the end of the year {1969}.

I want to 'smooth out' his rough edges before we send him into a World Championship bout in 1970.

I'd like him to have a bout in October, and then one in late-November. I have no opponents picked out
as of yet. I'm working with Mickey Davies {Olympic Matchmaker} to set up '2' opponents.
