    Totally agree. Mr Undefeated Psychopathic Movie Star would never do anything like this. Truly an injustice.

    The fact that he was getting furloughs shows the soft treatment he was getting in prison. Of course it backfired on him though.

    I'm sure that enabled him continue down the path he was on. Think about it this way. If nobody in your life told you no? That is not gonna end well. Probably not for any of us.

    ″I beat all my women, except one, and nothing ever happened to any of them,″ local news agencies quoted Monzon as saying in his defense.

    "Violence is my worst fault. All my friends tell me that before I get angry, I should count to 10. But when I get to two, I explode.”

    “I am well and confident. All should be calm because I am going to leave here soon, because I am innocent and I believe in God and justice.”

    His trainer, Amilcar Brusa, said on the day that Muniz died that Monzon was “always a bully in the ring. But in his life, he was a defenseless boy.”

    “The Muniz family’s attorney, Rodolfo Vega Lesich, said Monzon had made death threats against Muniz at least twice before she died but that she resisted Vega Lesich’s suggestion that she file a police complaint...”

    LOL at "defenseless boy." He was a bully out of the ring too.

    Definitely. Absolutely no remorse from Monzon. Brusa still saw him as the boy in the dirty basement gym from nearly 30 years before.

    Monzon was a low life.

    As Nino Benvenuti deservedly learned it was an error in questioning Monzons sexuality, Carlos responding with, “Tonight, I kill you.”

    Monzon was a incredible boxer in the squared circle, but a second rate human in his personal life.

    The Netflix series is very good. Although maybe a bit too sympathetic to Monzon.
