'A Good West-Coast Kid'

Interview from 1976

> Felipe, were you worried about fighting a fast guy like Cesar Sinda again. >

Well, the 1st-time we fought, he set a very fast pace. He didn't know how to
slow down.

He built up a big lead. He had me by 5-Points after the 6th Round. But then he
slowed down, and I was able to work his body. I finally caught him in the 10th,
and put him down and out with only 13-Seconds left.

I figured that he would come out the same way, and that the fight would be a
replay of last time.

It was another bout to be broadcast on KTLA-TV {Channel 5}, and I was the
{10-8} Betting-Favorite.

The 'winner' was promised a bout with Rodolfo 'El Gato' Gonzalez, so I wanted
to be impressive on TV.
