    My expanding waistline got me in the door to Trevor Wittman's gym in Denver where I met "Lightning" Lonnie Smith. He taught me to love boxing.

    Julio Cesar Chavez... it was a big event whenever he fought. I was an impressionable little kid back then, also I'm Mexican. I then stopped following the sweet science and Floyd Mayweather peaked my interest again when he beat De La Hoya. I've been a hardcore boxing fan since.
