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 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.

Jose Luis Lopez VS James Page

Lopez had a chin that put Margarito to shame, boxing skills of Delahoya, and punching power that was almost as good as Tito Trinidad but his downfall was that he had the mental makeup of Zab Judah.. If he dedicated himself to the sport 100%, he could have went down as one of the Mexican greats..
