This day in boxing. A look back.

[IamInuit]

Melchior Cob Castro is training fighters in Texas now. He and Gonzalez were close friends and trained together often; they had sparring sessions that were wars. Knowing that Mancini/Bramble was 31 years ago makes me feel ancient.

You just had to say something eh. I have spoken that very thing to myself several times in the process of making this thread. On several occasions I've actually had flashbacks of the florescent orange or lime green shag rug on the living room floor which depending on the time of year could also double as a ghillie suit.


I always liked Bramble and if he was not such a Rasta he may have done a lot more then he did. Way better fighter then his regard suggests.
