Who remembers Carlos Elliott ?

Bean-Head

Carlos Elliott was from Huntsville, Alabama.

He became a Sargeant in the United States Air Force, and was stationed
in Japan at the Mishawa Air Base.

He became a resident of Hachinoe, Japan.

He started his career in March 1983 {Age; 20 years, 10 months}.

Carlos was a {5' 9 1/2"} vicious-punching fighter, with power in both fists.

By mid-1985, Carlos was 9-1-0 {9 KO's} and was the Japanese Light-Middleweight
Champion.

He was supposed to fight 'former' WBA Welterweight Champion - Pipino Cuevas
in September 1985, but Pipino was really on a 'down-spiral' and pulled out of the
bout.

By the end of 1990, he was the #2 WBA-ranked Light-Middleweight, and
had a record of 26-2-0 {22 KO's}.

He was both the Japanese and OPBF Light-Middleweight Champion.

Just one little correction here. Carlos was from Hartselle, Alabama not Huntsville. I know because I grew up with him and his other siblings. His younger brother Stanley was also a very good boxer and wrestler.

I actually miss Bill Paxton. His use ‘of’ quotation marks will never be equaled.
