I think I remember Alex Garcia. Was that the guy who came out in the movie Diggstown? I think his character was named manoso torres or something like that if that is the guy that I am thinking of.i had a conversation with deanrw (awesome poster) about this a couple of months ago...boxing was everywhere back then...it was on channel 2 with Gil Clancy...it was on channel 7 with Wide World of Sports...
then you had THREE HOURS of USA's Tuesday Night Fights with Sean O'Grady (who had the most ******ed pre-fight tips...**** like 'dont get hit...hit him hard...use your jab'
)
Tuesday Night Fights, along with the cable black box really fueled my addiction...i remember watching a young Bernard Hopkins call out Roy Jones on the same show...i remember watching Julian Jackson on there...remember Alex Garcia? mexican HW from out here in socal
man...it was different back then...now, if i wanna watch THAT much boxing, my cable bill would be the size of my car payment
What part of SoCal are you from? I was born and raised in L.AComment

Oh 818 huh? I am from the 310(Hawthorne)
Yea I remember him. Bro I remember going to the forum in Inglewood and watching fighters there. There was the first time I saw JMM and I saw Barrera fighting there. A lot of good fighters. I remember the channel prime ticket(now it is called fox sport) showing the forum fights. Also Channel 9 used to show fights also from the forum.Comment

oh hell ****in yea...my pops used to take me..i think they had fights on tuesday nights...back when it was called The Fabulous Forum (before it became the Great Western Forum)...i also saw MAB a few times and JMM there
and regarding channel 9, do you remember who did the play by play on alot of those fights? the legendary chick hearns
if you have time, google up Oscar's pro-debut and listen to Chickie baby...sounds as smooth as when he called the action for the LakersComment
