"Chegui" One of Puerto Ricos greatest fighters ever...
May he rest in peace.
Loved his fights because he always came to fight and gave it his all.
Real tough come forward style that he had.
I personally thought he lost to Paret but it was a damn! close fight that could have gone either way.
The choker of a loss vs. Florentino had no effects on his career he bounced right back from that and did not let that get to him.
I also had him beating Tiger in the second fight 8-7, I havent seen the fight in a while so I'll try and revist it if I find the time.

RIP Jose Torres one of the greatest fighters to ever come from Puerto Rico.
Torres made two trips to Australia during his career and is well remembered down here, winning silver in the Olympics and again as a pro with his KO win over Aussie LH Bob Dunlop. His fights with Dick Tiger are legendary with the 2nd fight causing riots!

He left an admirable body of work. He was a talented human being. He was special.
