| I fought Mike Twice. The first go round '82 he broke my nose in the fourth with just seconds to go in the fight. 4 x 3 min rounds which Perez stopped. I was gushing blood at the time and I think they were scared I was really hurt. Me "I aint got time to bleed" . The second time we met '83, they stopped the fight in the 4th when I opened a bad cut on his eye. I believe we both still carry battle marks from our meetings.
Keep in mind that I was in my prime playing baseball at DCCC mike was a former pro and came out of retirement to fight again. I got lucky both times he didn't kill me lol.
Pete along with Bill Cunningham and Mark Crane as my trainers, it was worthy of Gladitorial status, hehe
There used to be picture with Pete Falcon strapping a championship belt around me at the old Duffy's years ago. That was a long time ago. Black eyes courtesy of Mike. |
