im so jealous,,, where im from in central illinois there is absolutely no pro boxing scene. I gotta travel hours to either chicago or STL to watch fights live,,

Well hopefully you get compensated with more affordable housing than here in LA. You might be surprised how much it costs to rent a crappy apartment here. But yes, I am grateful for the opportunities that were available to me.

Yes, I saw Olivares 4 times (Herrera II, Seeley, Chacon, and Utagawa), Zarate, Zamora, Anaya, Pinder, Castillo, and Martinez. All the fights were at the Forum in Inglewood, which was a modest drive from where I grew up. Back then if you didn't go, there was no guarantee when you'd get to see those fights. Now I enjoy boxing from the comfort of my living room since ringside seats cost a lot more than $20 these days. Now it costs $20 just to park a few blocks away

Oh, Enrique Pinder. He was the man who broke the Mexican dominance for a while when he took the title.

I am so friggin’ jealous at you that you have seen all of those fighters from ringside, especially Herrera who is a personal favourite of mine. It must have been incredible to see them in action. Do you recall how you felt when you watched Rafael Herrera vs Ruben Olivares?

Wow, that was a long time ago, lol. It a four main event card at the Forum. Pinder-Castillo was on it too, and Rodolfo Martinez was in another match. Herrera surprised me at how skilled he actually was. Olivares just didn't match up well with him. It wasn't the most exciting fight but it was very well fought. That was the first card that I went to alone, so it was a big deal to me then.

It must have been incredible to watch all of those quality fighters.

Did you see any other of Rafael Herrera’s fights from ringside?

I was at his fight with Borkhorsor. I felt that the Thai fighter was robbed. He seemed to clearly outfight Herrera that night.
