THE LAST CALL
* In this page I will tell you what I felt leading up to the interview. What I was thinking during it. Then my thoughts of the person afterwards.
AHMED SANTOS - Ahmed follows in the tradition of what a fighter from Sinaloa, Mexico is all about. Heart. He's from the home state of "El Gran Campeon Mexicano" Julio Cesar Chavez. Getting into the sport because of the great Chavez, he learned this route in life suited him best. Down the road Ahmed ended up in Phoenix,Arizona area training and becoming close to the Carbajal's. Mr. Santos is a very polite, professional, and nice guy. You would never think he was a boxer. But in the ring, you can't see him doing something else.
ANGEL BOJADO - Angel is about to go pro and he seems very confident. Before the interview I had no idea what Angel Bojado was like. Within a few minutes into the interview I realized he was exactly like his brother, Francisco "Panchito" Bojado. Very polite, well-mannered, and big-hearted equals "Discipline". The sport of boxing is very much about that. Both Bojados' have always had high expectations on their shoulders. Angel plans to finish where his big brother left off. I advise to remember his name. I have him as one of my prospects to make it big!
CARLOS "FAMOSO" HERNANDEZ - Before I got a chance to chat with the with El Salvador's greast son, I knew he was going to be the friendly guy that I always saw on tv. But early in his life he was a tough kid with a mean streak raised in the hard areas of L.A.. Finding discipline in the sport and gyms in the Los Angeles area, he starting to see light down the road. A road that led him to his destiny, a world title. Marrying the love of his life and soul-mate, he is still as happy as he has ever been even long after the bright lights of the ring. God bless you Carlos!
CARLOS PALOMINO - My interview was almost cancelled with him because of his busy schedule. But he still came through. I'm glad he did most of the talking because I was pretty nervous talking to the legend and Hall-of-Famer that he is. Many latino boxers past or present bring up his name when you ask them who some of their favorites are. He was a great technician and a great guy. Thanks again Mr. Palomino.
DANIEL PONCE DE LEON - I was very happy and fortunate to have had Daniel on. He was a very nice guy that was more than happy to do the interview. Action-packed sensation Daniel Ponce De Leon talks about his childhood and career in great detail. He is a boxer who I will always admire in and out of the ring. I had sat next time him at a local event in Port Hueneme, CA years ago, and was very nice then as well. Good luck to him in his future.
DAVID DIAMANTE - I will always remember this interview as my first late night interview. We started after midnight my time (Pacific Time) and past 3 am his time (Eastern). He was kicking it in his "Diamante's Brooklyn Cigar Lounge". With his everyday-type-of-guy demeanor, I kept forgetting we were doing an interview. After three hours of kicking it and B.S.'ing I realized I had to be at work in about three hours. He was holding back some big news at that moment that he was unable to disclose publicly. The news was revealed within days that it was that he was hired at the official New Jersey Nets pro basketball team. Since then he has appeared in several articles such as the NY Times and GQ magazine. With the same conclusion, that he was hardly what people would expect him to be. But in a good way. You're the man amigo! Congrads and I will keep following the success that you are!
FERNANDO PARAMO - Fernando was my very first interview in my whole life. I'm hoping to redo my first five interviews as I used to record them through a voice recorder device. And didn't come out well. But even though Fernando is not a boxer, he was the best interviewee I could have chosen. He is a writer, commentator, analyst, and interviewer. He was a fountain of information. I thought I knew a little bit about the sport, but this guy made me feel like one page of a a set of an encyclopedia. There is nothing wrong with getting some pointers from a true pro. I appreciate the time and patience you should me Professor Paramo. And thanks again!
GABRIEL RUELAS - This is an interview that I will never forget and I will think about all the time. The best way I have heard it described is "that it grabs you by the throat and makes you listen to it". That early Saturday morning when I was writing down some notes for the interview, I found myself pacing up and down. Wondering if I should bring up the subject about Gabriel's fight with Jimmy Garcia. The fight that he didn't know before-hand would change not only his boxing career, but his life forever. My mind ran a hundred miles an hour asking myself if I should ask him about it, how he would react to it. Would he stop me there? End the interview? Threaten me? Or would he actually answer the questions about that fight and how it affected him personally and professionally? Every few minutes my mind would change from, "Yes I will" to " No. I shouldn't". When I picked up the phone to dial I took a deep breath and still didn't know if I was going to ask or not. I left it at, "if I do, I do. And if I don't, I don't".
As we went through his childhood days and his first days in the ring, he threw it in while answering questions about his amatuer career. I was speechless. As he went into a zone discussing that fight that changed his life. I didn't know if to stop him and ask him to hold that thought for later in the interview. Or if it would ruin my chances to hear the story in the moment he was wanting to open up about the subject. I ended up letting him roll with it. And asking questions about what he was saying. As I tried to get my head straight on all the detailed information he was letting go of. For what I was looking for it felt like a put a quarter on an older-type slot machine, that when you put your coin in and win, the machine lets out what seems to be endless amounts of coins. That's what it felt like. But in a humanitarian perspective, you could hear the pain and sincerity in his voice. At one point I tried to console or comfort him by hoping he would understand that it wasn't his fault. And his response was something like, "but you or anybody doesn't understand what it's like to go through this". After awhile it felt as if I had been knocked down and could not get back up. As I myself started feeling upset or emotional for him I remember wanting to cut out as I felt I myself couldn't take the pain I was feeling through his words. And I cut the interview short.
By the following day, I previewed the interview and quickly realized that we didn't even get to discuss his pro career except for that fight! Or anything else for that matter. A few days later I called him back to ask him if he wouldn't mind doing a second interview in the future to follow up where we left off. He gladly said to give him a few minutes and he would be happy to, as you will hear in the Part #2 segment.
My "last call" on Gabriel Ruelas is that he is a true gift to humanity. Many people use the phrase "Killed" when a boxer dies at due to the injuries of another boxer. Before this interview I did it too. But the Gabriel Ruelas story has taught me that is hurtful to hear for the boxer that got to live. Because their life, means a lot less to them after something like that. Gabriel is anything but what he is singled out to be. In time he would suffer more hurts and pains in his personal life as well. Does a boxer who gave us all the thrills and action that he has brought to us and the sport deserve to get punished even away from the ring and into his retirement? Respect is what Gabriel Ruelas deserves. And I will always respect him!
GIOVANI SEGURA - Giovani is a straight up no non-sense type guy when it comes to his boxing career. He is 150% confident that he will be a top contender in whatever weight division he chooses to be in. After my interview with him, I have to agree. He was recently stopped by Brian "The Hawaiian Punch" Viloria, but he is looking to come back into the game very strong.
GREG HAUGEN - I have always remembered Greg Haugen from his fight with Julio Cesar Chavez. When Haugen made a comment about Chavez's huge winning streak were a bunch of "Tijuana Taxi Drivers". Me being a first generation Mexican-American and my whole family getting together to watch Chavez fights as if they were Super Bowl-like events, we were glued to the tv during his fights. A Chavez fight was always as good as the barbeque we ate that day. But this fight added that extra spice after the Haugen comment. That main event generated an approximate 140,000 spectators that filled the grand Azteca Stadium in Mexico City. A record which I don't see being touched any time soon. Greg was in the main event that he always wanted to be in. But was in an environment he will never want to be in again. As many spectators wanted at Haugen just as bad as Chavez did that night.
I was very excited to talk to Mr. Haugen on the interview day. He was very nice and was willing to do the interview even though it was his daughter's birthday. As we discussed his childhood and humble beginnings, I started realizing he was a genuine guy. He was the real article, what you saw is what you got with him. At the end of the details and finale of the interview I went from seeing Greg Haugen as the bad guy in that Chavez fight I had always remembered as a kid, to a guy I will always respect for being himself. A great guy.
HECTOR CAMACHO JR. - I don't think I could have had a bigger switch of of opinion after an interview, then how I changed in what I thought of Hector Camacho Jr. before it. I always thought of Hector as an arrogant, quit-witted, and obnoxious boxer. But within the first few minutes of our conversation, my thoughts of him made a 360 degree turn. He was the exact opposite of what I had previously thought of him. Although he and I come from two different worlds, he was very polite and respectful. Even after the interview, he and I would send each other messages and kept in touch. My after thoughts of him is ... Great Guy, and hope nothing for the best for him!
ISRAEL VAZQUEZ - Mr. Vazquez is exactly what the word "gentleman" should be. He was very polite and was willing to do the interview on the spot. I didn't have a chance to get down some notes down. But even if I did, I couldn't get my thoughts straight with how excited I was speaking to this great fighter. He had locked himself in a room keeping his waiting public outside from his new gym that he was going to be opening (at that time). He stayed on the line doing the interview with me although he kept getting called. I will always be greatful and appreciative towards him for the respect he gave to me during that circumstance. Thank you Champ!
JACK LOEW - Great trainer. Great guy. Jackjack knows jack when it comes to boxing. This Youngstown man tells it like it is, and dedicates his life to the sport of boxing.
JAMES "SMITTY" SMITH - Smitty was one of my first interviewees. I was so happy to speak to him because I would always watch his show, " In This Corner". He does a half-hour segment on a boxing subject. Two-thirds is a sit down, and the last part is an in-ring demo of the boxer's skill. Where he puts the gloves on with the subject and he demonstrates his his skills. Great concept. It is the only boxing show of its kind. And has got a lot of attention over the years. It was great sitting and learning from a real pro at the interview game. Thanks for all your time and advice, Smitty.
JOE A. MARTINEZ - Joe lives up to the phrase, "an everyday Joe". Mr. Martinez is very busy doing a lot of shows and traveling doing what he does best. Announce. I'm honored that he did an intro for my "Interviews Page". He is the kind of guy I could chat with for hours at a bar. And I kind of did. At TheBoxingBar.com.
JULIO DIAZ - The Diaz brothers have been a hit in the sport for several years now. Like his other two brothers Joel and Antonio, Julio is considered to be one of the best fighters of his time. He ducked no one and fought the best at his weight class. ANd in each fight gave it his all. Was never shy to exchange in toe-to-toe combat. He is a very intelligent and polite person. We had a two-day interview session to complete the segment. And I am very privelaged to had Julio on. Thanks Julio!
LUPE CONTRERAS - The best way to describe Lupe is "Professional". You can easily tell that Mr. Contreras is a very intelligent individual. I didn't take long for me to figure that out. His very proper demeanor was very intimidating, yet very comforting during our conversation. He was very patient and well mannered and gracious. He's a great guy and a great ring announcer.
MIKEY GARCIA - I have too many positive things to say about this boxer from my hometown of Oxnard, CA. I had never heard him talk before my interview with him. By looking at him he seemed like a very quiet and even shy person. Lets just say I'm glad I didn't put money on that. Not only did he suprise me, he surpassed my expectation on the type of person he is mentally inside and outside the ring. His confidence in himself and his goals in the sport are stronger then his 126 lb. frame that he fights in. To be honest if I did have to put money on something, it would be that Mikey Garcia will be world champion. I think that is a safe bet.
MONTELL GRIFFIN - Montell was the first boxer to have a professional win victory over the great, legend, and future Hall-of-Famer Roy Jones Jr. by way of DQ. This light heavyweight fought every big name of his time in his weight class. Even scoring two victories over James "Lights Out" Toney. It was great talking to this former champ as he goes down the line and talks about all his big fights.
RICHARD STEELE - A great interview with one of the great referees ever in the sport of boxing! Mr. Steele ref'd some of the greatest bouts in history. He, hands-down, had some of the biggest assaignments in the 80's. Which was a huge decade in the sport as the boxing world was starting to embrace many of the weight classes south of the heavyweight division. Richard brought respect and dignity into the position known as "the third man in the ring". He is of Hall-of-Fame status in my opinion. One of my favorite interviewees was Mr. Richard Steele!
ROGER ROMO - One of my favorite guys in or out of the ring is Oxnard's Roger Romo. Roger is a very disciplined, respectful, and charismatic boxers around. Roger is no stranger to this sport, following in the footsteps of his big brother, Oxnard's biggest figure, "Ferocious" Fernando Vargas. Romo absorbed all the information he needed, and learned from the do's and don'ts in from growing up with Vargas. Roger's goal is to put boxing back on the map. The only way he knows how to, his own way!
RUBEN CASTILLO - Ruben Castillo was one of the funniest and most fun interviews I could have. He was very knowledgable and like his boxing style, straight forward. Ruben did not hold back his feelings in this interview. But I think the best thing about him is that he is very much for the fighter in his points of views on life and life in boxing. He is a fountain of information and was very easy to talk to and joke with.
TONY BALTAZAR - Tony was a great fighter with the old school mentality that is missing from the sport today. He is a stand up individual with a great story.
WAYNE MCCULLOUGH - In my opinion, the best Irish fighter ever hands down. The man that never went down tells his whole story and talks about all his biggest fights. The man with the chin of steel is very much an ordinary guy, but was far from ordinary in the ring. Wayne is a class act, and a priveledge to have him at TheBoxingBar.
AHMED SANTOS - Ahmed follows in the tradition of what a fighter from Sinaloa, Mexico is all about. Heart. He's from the home state of "El Gran Campeon Mexicano" Julio Cesar Chavez. Getting into the sport because of the great Chavez, he learned this route in life suited him best. Down the road Ahmed ended up in Phoenix,Arizona area training and becoming close to the Carbajal's.
