Geez what a messed up roller coaster of a life story. "We left Belgium, and as a young artist and yoga teacher, [my father] was hired by the local mafia in a Belgian cabaret to transport five kilos of coke to the U.S.," he said. "He wanted to conquer America, so he did it when I was eight months old. "When I was three, my babysitter was sick, so it was the 14-year-old son who looked after me, and as soon as we were alone, he raped me in Texas." When he was four years old, he was even kidnapped in Mexico. Thankfully, after a couple of months his parents were reunited with their son.
No kidding. I have to be skeptical about him living in 50 different countries, but unusual and at times pretty ugly/tragic upbringing. Like how much respect he gives Hocko. Paul Hodkinson was a peach of a fighter. Too bad his prime didn’t last longer. True warrior.
Kidnapping in Mexico is like buying a jar of peanut butter in America — it’s like the national pastime. Look up the statistics — it’s shocking.
Wow what an incredible life and boxing career. I saw the Mendoza fight and thought he lost to Mendoza. He fought many world class opposition.
"The day before my fight, when I changed hotels to go to the hotel where the fight was to take place, I knocked on my wife's bedroom and she was naked in bed with my best friend at the time," he revealed. "I didn't think anything of it at the time, and besides, we had a peace and love mentality, so I didn't see the harm. But once I got in the ring, I realized when I saw the round card girl that I was a cuckold ... so I made a shitty fight. I didn't give a damn about anything. This part is pure gold lmao.
Poor guy. Wife is lucky that he didn’t put hands on both of them. Imagine if that was Jake LaMotta in that situation.
Hi Buddy. Quite right, Janiro was on the end of a bad beating simply because Vicky had said in passing how handsome he was, god forbid that Jake caught them under the covers !!! stay safe FR, chat soon buddy. Mike.
Ricky Hatton used to quip if he came home and found his Mrs in bed with Mike Tyson, hed tuck him in....
