I freakin' hate Hector Camacho

I actually really enjoyed Camacho,one of my favorites.
He had immense talent and potential but his party life got the better of him.
Unlike most people I didn't find him boring altough he did show he did not fancy getting hit after the Rosario fight(which was a very good one).
And yes I thought Macini beat him but it was close.Comment

His seven-year-old son, Hector Jr., told him after the fight, "Daddy, you are lucky you're alive." The next morning his girlfriend, Keesha Colon, said his face looked like a Cabbage Patch doll's. Because his mouth was relatively undamaged, Hector Camacho managed a small smile, and he said, only half kiddingly, "Hey, if this is macho, I don't want no part of it."
That was last Saturday. The night before, at Madison Square Garden, Camacho had survived the hammering hands of Puerto Rico's Edwin Rosario and saved his WBC lightweight championship with a split decision. His $500,000 payday came hard: Rosario, who had held the same title from 1983 to '84, had almost knocked him out with an overhand right followed by a left hook in the fifth round, and again, in the 11th, with a left hook that nearly lifted the champ out of his glittery red, white and blue boots. "He hit me. Wham! Wham!" said Camacho. "I say, Damn, it doesn't hurt, but it sure feels funny. Wham! Damn! I fought a war and I can tell you right now, Hector Camacho don't like no damn wars."

Interesting
Right now I'm taking it slow, I'm on the 7th round. He did the mistake of backing up in a straight line.Comment
