He was sparring Gonzales the Lightweight Champ, Bobby said first round was a feeler. Second round Ruben hit Him with a counter Lefthook and sparked Him. Rubin came over and with his thumb of his Glove pulled His eye open and said seen enougth . I asked Bobby what His feelings were his reply, Fucking Hell we got a problem .
One of the most relentless come forward fighters...
Great story scrap.
He did this all the time, he never back away from a real fight, but he wasn't a wild fighter, he was calculated and measured. He got hit a lot because he did come forward and was relentless. His body punching was devastating, he would've given Barrera, Morales, Pacman, Hamed or anyone else a tough fight.
I had him ahead against Alexis when he simply ran out of gas by round 13. If Olivares isn't the best Bantam ever then it must be Jofre?
