    Ok people, so I’m gonna have both of these legends with me for a week from next Thursday October 14. If you want to write some questions for them, please put them in here and I’ll pick some (maybe even all) for them to answer. Also, if you are in the Los Angeles area. I will be hosting a meet & greet (you must be vaccinated to enter) where you can take photos, get signed items etc; (bring the Jofre book if you have it).

    Wow!!! Zarate is one of my all time favorites...I'd like to really know if he was 100 percent against Wilfredo Gomez. I thought he looked a little off for that fight physically.

    Excellent, I have some questions for Carlos- What did he think of the guys just after him at the Bantam-Superfly scene fighters like: Soon, Jiro Wanatbe the Galaxys ect. I am talking about the 80-6 crew. Who did he think was best?

    One for both. If either of them had access to a time machine of all the Bantams in history who would they choose to fight?

    Again, for both. If they could change anything about the start of there training what would it be?

    What did they priorities to learn when they started?

    What is most important to them in the ring?

    If they had three rules for someone to follow a bible of reference if you will for a fighter what would it be?

    I may have more and I am not sure these are even good questions. I am rather busy but I had to post something!

    Zarate has huge hands for a bantamweight.

    I have questions for Jofre:

    Can you described how good Medel as a fighter?

    Can you tell me the experience going to war with him in the first fight? What was going through your mind?

    Is it true that he (Medel) hit you the hardest?

    Medel beat Harada once and almost beat him on the 2nd fight, but Harada beat you twice... what are your thoughts on that?

    Can you rank your top three victories that you are most proud of?

    What is the most finest punch you've ever tasted?

    Wow, wish I could be there. I have one question for each fighter.

    Carlos Zarate - Does he feel that if head been able to make weight more easily his fight with Wilfredo Gomez may have had a different outcome?

    Eder Jofre - What made Fighting Harada such a difficult opponent?

    I have another for Jofre and Zarate how far do you think you could have climbed in weight in your prime and been successful in your era?
