I should like to hear a little more of your interest in boxers.
Where does this enthusiasm come from?
And why heroes?
My dad was a boxer..I went to see fights since I was a kid...In the cinema I saw "The Joe Louis Story" and fallen in love with the grace and style of that genius...I am a contemporary of Muhammad Ali, I used to follow him since he was an olympic champion at the age of ninetee(The first time I saw him was in a film with Anthony Quinn: "Requiem for a heavyweight" in 1962). He was a poet in the ring...I also used to see on TV the fights of the great Emil Griffith, six times champion of the world.He tragically killed the cuban Benny Kid Paret in the ring. I followed Luis Federico Thompson, Jorge Fernandez, Nicolino Locche..(The list is too long)...Boxing is a great sport, extraordinarily dramatic and elegant.
What makes heroes of boxers to me is that they are artists who sacrifice everything in the ring.They could loose their life but they go forwards anyway..It takes a very special kind of person to go into the ring. Van Gogh coulda been a contender.
Nadie diría que Tony le daba a la cerveza...( mamma mia, qué chopera!! )
?Oscar, y los dos Sugar Ray ( Robinson y Leonard ) no le gustaban?
Con la excepcion de Monzon, que siempre me resulto insoportable, me gustan todos los boxeadores.
Un gran heroe mio era un flaquito que peleaba en las preliminares del Luna Park, que era un maestro del esquive y ganaba "por cansancio", a quien un atorrante de la popular bautizo "Ca?a Loca"!
Entonces en el Luna usted habrá visto a José Ríos, a Bunetta o a Alfredo Pita, pupilos todos del rosarino Juan Umberto Natale. Bastantes a?os después yo me entrené con el viejito Natale y lo tuve en mi rincón cuando gané un título santafesino amateur.
Yo me hice fanático del box con Nicolino. Hace poquito volví a ver la pelea en Tokio contra Fuji y nuevamente me quedé con la boca abierta...aquello fue increíble.
...Grande, Gustavo!...Al lado de nuestro estudio en el centro de Baires habia un bodegon donde cenaba Tino Porzio...Y si habremos tenido charlas con el maestro!!!
