    The rest of the parts are linked, sorry for those who don't know the language

    Having watched Cervantes's fights, I really came to appreciate his style and accomplishments as champion at 140. Not many talk about him, but he was undoubtedly Colombia's best fighter and an ATG. I wish more knowledgeable fans would discuss him more often.

    How do you guys generally view him?

    How's he doing these days? Healthy? Unhealthy? Punchy?

    He seems healthy. In that video he was in some sort of asylum because of problems moving and whatnot, but recently they've released a series of books on his life, and he returned to Baranquilla, his hometown, looking sharp and saying he's happy with his life because he lives it calmly and that he doesn't blame anyone for his downfall. It's a shame because he had it rough for so long, but I think he's picked things up a bit, enough to live content.

    :good


    Colombian superstar Carlos Vives actually wrote a really heart-warming song about him in the traditional music style of Vallenato.
