<-- My dad and his boxing friend --> (Picture Inside)

[CutMeMick]

Here's a hint.

In 1990, my dad tells me. Guess what happened? I said I don't know.
He said my my boxing friend past away a few days ago. I remember seeing the look on his face he was down about it. I said why? He said he just fought for a belt about 2 weeks ago and lost by TKO. He wasn't actually KO'd but his skin has been vunerable to cuts in his career.
He was driving in his car and crashed. My dad said there's something about car crashes and youg great boxers dieing in them. He was only 28 at the time of his death.

Well to be fair and narrow it more.

He's def. an ATG vastly underrated and hardly talked about.
His best era was the 80's and he fought below Featherweight.
Alcohol & Marijuana got the best of him but even with that his record/career is top level for a small guy.

Alright last hint.

I've often said that by the time Christian Mijares finishes his career he'll take his rightful place next to him as one of Mexicos ATG from that division.

(That one should do it)

We've got a winner.

That is the late (RIP) great Gilberto Roman.
Gilberto Roman

The pic. was taken in Mexicali, Baja California in 1987. After he returned from France when he beat Antoine Montero the pic. was taken at friends wedding where both my pops and Gilberto were part of the wedding ceremonies. My pops said I was there and I met him but I don't remember it. After seeing the picture I somewhat remember the wedding but nothing about meeting the great Gilberto Roman.

30 seconds - 2 minutes either way it wasn't good enough.
Actually that's what my wife said last night.
