Spot on vicGreat article, Mike Casey is class.....
Jofre told that he was close to hit the canvas before the stoppage btw.....he said that Medel landed a left hook to his body and that the pain was appalling. He only could recover from it because his dad in the corner talked about his mom and he then was just way too much motivated to feel the pain.....

George Parnassus, matchmaker at the Olympic Auditorium and known as the Silver Fox of boxing, was using all of his flair and imagination to give fight fans what they wanted to see.
