1968 L.A. Golden Gloves Champs (not '70 "Diamond Belt" as listed)
Look to the top row, first two boxers on the left, Jimmy Robertson & Armando Muniz, in their teens.
Robertson came up at the Olympic, as an amateur, often featured in Aileen Eaton's "Youth Development Program". After traveling to the Golden Gloves Nat'ls in St. Louis with the above team, Jimmy turned pro and would become the first man to challenege newly crowned Lightweight Champ, Roberto Duran, for the title (1972). A major attraction at the Olympic Auditorium where he battled L.A. legends Ruben Navarro, Rodolfo "El Gato" Gonzalez and many more.
Our friend, Armando Muniz? No stranger to us. His history is written thruout the text of this great boxing forum.
wow....that ramos-rojas program brings back memories.
two harbor area boys and ex-stable mates. i was there with three of my friends that nite and raul was landing a sneaky right hand counter on mando early but then mando started sticking rojas with that great long jab of his. a 3/4 hook uppercut left by mando sent raul into a summer sault and that was it.
rauls last fight.
after, we all met at joeys billiards in carson where heavyweight joey orbillo was visibly upset that his two homeboys had fought each other.
great card that nite. rick ferris lead off, mando muniz flattened a guy in the first and old friend frankie crawford ko'd a mexican opponent a split second after the bell ending the tenth sending the latino crowd in an ill tempered frenzy. i have never forgotten the sight of this kid on his back having to be revived while the score cards were being read or frankies reaction to them which was basicaly thumbing his nose. frankie was a first class character.
