    Yeah, but Mando's favorite drink was heroin. He claimed to have shot up the morning of the 2nd Cruz fight.

    Roberto Duran reportedly downed a quart in the dressing room right before his fight with Robbie Sims

    Mando Ramos made a career of drinking and drugging the night before fights, even in title defenses. According to his late trainer Jackie McCoy

    Good sources tell me Rene Arredondo came in to the ring Drunk when facing comebacking Carlol Palomino. I knew Arredondo didnt have much of a beard,but always wondered why he went down from what seemed like a tap.

    He did it all Alcoholic then later everything else !! Heard his testimony up close a couple times,, but Heroin is what eventually brought him to his knees.
