    It is bigger than boxing, and its origins go back further than the sport itself.

        Sixto Escobar VS Rodolfo Casanova June 26, 1934.


        Escobar was Puerto Rico's first world champion, and his bout with Casanova for a vacant bantamweight title was the beginning of an enduring feud between Mexico and Puerto Rico.

        Casanova was a big attraction in Southern California and Mexico, where his 1933 bout with Newsboy Brown in Mexico City attracted 30,000 fans. But he was no match for the technically superior Escobar, who punished him severely before ending matters with a left hook-right uppercut combination in the ninth round.

        When "El Gallito" returned to San Juan, the governor closed schools for the day so everybody could greet the returning hero at the docks and watch the ensuing parade.

            The Puerto Ricans stole a cherry tree from Mexico. And now, here we are.
