Short history of Cleto Reyes.

"Cleto Reyes was born after the tumult of the Mexican Revolution and at age 12, went to work in a saddlery to help out his family. Shortly after began his love affair with the sport of boxing. In 1938, he won his first boxing match, a fight so amazing that spectators tossed money into the ring. Because of the damage he sustained during this fight, Reyes was discouraged for fighting again, but he was determined to preserve the memory by mending the gloves used in the bout. Thus began his long career as a glove-maker and boxing equipment giant. In 1945, Cleto Reyes gloves were endorsed for professional use in Mexican boxing and this small family business has gone on to sell their finely-crafted equipment worldwide."

The warriors glove.

People wonder why Mexicans have great chins, I'm convinced it's because if Cleto Reyes gloves. After being hit with those things and then getting hit with let's say, Everlast gloves, you feel like you are getting hit with pillows...hehe

Boxing in Puerto Rico can be traced from the ceremonial competitions amongst the pre-Columbian Native Americans of the Arawak also known as Taíno tribes which inhabited the island to the modern era in which sports activities consist of an organized physical activity or skill carried out with a recreational purpose for competition.


Pre-Columbian era

View of the Indigenous ballparks in the TibesThe Taínos who inhabited Puerto Rico before the arrival of Christopher Columbus in 1492, played a series of games which were both ceremonial and diversional, such as races, contests involving body strength and fishing. However, the two most important of these sports were the simulated warrior fights (similar to the gladiators) and ball playing.

Good read. Can you post a link to this!? I want to read more on it.

Coo...I found this bio on Wikipedia :

"The boxer Francisc Vaştag (Hungarian: Vastag Ferenc, born November 26, 1969 in Reşiţa, Caraş-Severin) was the first Romanian to win the supreme belt in his category. His victory greatly stimulated boxing in Romania. The champion boxer Adrian Diaconu has said that he considers Vaştag to be a brother and mentor."
