Before the Fight, Art Golden Boy Aragon, "My Dream, comes true At Wrigley Field I'll be Pitching, and Carman will be Catching"...After Basillio's 6 round TKO, they asked Art,
if they stopped it too soon? "The Golden Boy replied,
"Why did they wait for the 48th Round""...They asked him why he didn't Unload the Big Left Hook? "I didn't want to make Him Mad", Replied Aragon!!!
