Is ignorance really bliss, or is it overrated? You tell me Mr. Pimp, you seem to have some experience with it.

I like how he throws his punches, compact and crisp.

"It is a common belief in boxing that Cuba's Kid Gavilan was the first to develop the bolo punch, but it was Ceferino Garcia who popularized the punch decades before Gavilan hit his mark." - Ring Magazine

If they come out and say somthing like this, when they were the ones that helped brain wash me into think Gavilan started it, then they should also clarify the Pep round. Also, I don't think Gavilian got his punch from Garcia, thought possabley Garcia used it first who really knows.

Even Ray Robinson said Kid Gavillan was a great fighter and praised Gavillian for the fight he gave Robinson.
