Had lunch
with Gene Aguilera, author of “Mexican-American Boxing in Los Angeles”…It’s a
great book that covers the Los Angeles chicano boxing community from the early
days of Aurelio Herrera and Joe Rivers to the later days of Oscar De La Hoyo
and Chicanito Hernandez, and in between there is Baby Arizmendi, Manuel Ortiz,
Enrique Bolanos, Art Aragon, Carlos and Al Chavez, Keeny Teran, Gil Cadilli,
Mando Muniz, the Montes brothers, Frankie and Tony Baltazar, and many more that
made boxing come alive in the City of Angels in those golden years when the
chicano boxer was a star….I highly recommend this great book.
