Comments Thread For: Hector Camacho: When It Was Macho Time

BIGPOPPAPUMP · 12:52 PM

By Jake Donovan - Even in an era largely dominated by the Fab Four, you couldn’t grow up as a boxing fan in the 1980s and not have been infatuated with Hector ‘Macho’ Camacho, Sr.

Career-wise, it’s been a couple of years since anyone has last seen even the shell of the former superstar in the ring.

Sadly, the last time he was seen alive and well (relatively speaking) by anyone at all was on November 20, 2012.

That was the night Camacho was shot in the face and in critical condition, a status for which his family now longs. He was marginally more fortunate than his friend seated next to him. Adrian Mojica Moreno, 49, was killed instantaneously in the attack.

The former superstar was declared brain dead two days later, on Thanksgiving day. The only fight left in the past few days was among his family, with a split decision in favor of leaving him on life support at least through the holiday, according to reports coming from Puerto Rico.
