R.I.P. Eusebio Pedroza

That's sad to read, it really is. Like Lockridge, Pedroza was a staple of those early fandom days of mine, and his fights were always on NBC. Such a privilege to watch him. A true craftsman and as great a featherweight as you'd want to see. He gives Sanchez a really hard fight if they'd met, maybe even beats him.

 

Barry McGuigan shared the sad news with his twitter followers today, he thanked Pedroza in an article saying he helped he attain 19 million viewers on British TV when the two fought each other in their iconic feather weight title fight that McGuigan won on points. Thoughts on Pedrozas career.

 

Mate there's already a thread for this,by Hanza.

Stop deliberately copying and hijacking other people's threads.

Comment appropriately instead.

 

Also Hanza I have to say I love your tributes to Pedroza.

 

Oh no I wrote it as soon as I saw it on twitter, I`ve been accussed of doing this before, sorry.

 

Somehow I don't believe that. Hanza posted hours ago and was top of the page.

 

RIP Pedroza. And someone ban this worthless troll already.

 

Pedroza had a bunch of defenses.....so you have to give him credit for that. His foul-filled reputation was the negative side.

 

Another great ,great champ gone .Way to many these last few year's .
Rip Eusebio .

 

And by sad coincidence, just a few weeks after one of his greatest rivals, Rocky Lockridge. RIP Eusebio (and Rocky too of course).

 

RIP Eusebio Pedroza.

**** off!

 

Rest in peace, Eusebio Pedroza.
