      I remember reading that book years ago, and it is a great read. That's where I first heard of Tony"El Torito"Ayala.

      If my memory serves me right, Lou Duva (at the time,Tony's mgr) and Ayala were walking somewhere in NY and they so happen to bump into Roberto Duran. There was a little stare down between the two fighters, at least that's what I remember Duva saying.

      Good book, check it out.
