Hey @greynotsoold - do you have anymore fun underrated LA fights? I feel like there was an era in LA between 1970-1988 or so that I am not as familiar with as I should be.

Chacon vs Olivares, the 9 round fight, not the 2 round fight when Chacon was weight drained.




Olivares, for all his deserved reputation as a puncher, is one of the great tactical fighters, in my mind.

Good fight here...Zarate fought a lot around that part of the world. Davila trained at the same gym where I started and lived near me.



Davila was a childhood hero of mine, and he could fight. At his best, you had to beat Zarate or Wilfredo Gomez to beat him

That one is for @greynotsoold

That was at the Memorial Coliseum in LA.

That was at the Memorial Coliseum in LA.

The referee, George Latka, also worked the Davy Moore/Sugar Ramos fight at Dodger Stadium in which Moore was killed. He later owned a bar in Orange County, down by Huntington Beach High School (where all the girls look like Britney Spears). I was there in 1988 several times and could drive you there, but don't recall the streets. Mr Latka has since died.
