I remember facing him twice in critical fights for my guy anyway. The first time was in Mexico City, he trained Julio Alvarez who fought my guy Jesus "Matador" Chavez for the NABF SF title, Jesus was also #1 WBC. Jesus won hard fought decision, next time was when Jesus, fought Eric for the title. Before the Eric fight we met with the officials to read the rules and pick the gloves. At that time the champ chose the gloves, today it's changed any brand gloves can be used. I knew beforehand that Eric had hand problems and wanted to use Winning gloves, I chose Reyes gloves. You should've seen "Olivaritos" reaction, "what? No way!". I had to remind him it was the champs choice. Anyway he got revenge at the fight, Eric beat Jesus by Dec. Jesus suffered a torn rotor cuff on his right shoulder, in the 2nd rd and from the 2nd til the 12th he fought Eric one handed.
It's sad he passed away so young, cos he was a pretty good trainer and we need trainers
