Bobby Chacon...
« on: September 14, 2016, 02:04:58 PM »
Most boxing fans from my (old) age group know he passed a week or 2 back... Nice memorial for him coming up.

Now, one of my favorite artists did a song way back about him, and Boom Boom mancini killing Duk Koo Kim in the ring. WARREN!

I never got into Warren Zevon, didn't even know he passed in 22003,until someone started a thread about him the other day.

  After i clicked onto your link above I listened to this song and many others...new respect for his music.
  I still remember that fight between Mancini and Kim, altho I realize this thread is about Chacon lol.
  Mancini was messed up mentally for some years after.
  Being a boxing fan, have you seen the movie yet about Duran? Looks really good. I also saw an upcoming movie about Chuck Wepner, the man and inspiration behind the Rocky legacy.
  I had met him when he was locked up in the mid to late 80's in Jersey for cocaine distribution. He was nice as far as inmates went, but after his release in 89 I believe, he went back to his old haunts.
