About this product

Product Information

Many West Coast Latino boxers have entered and departed the ring, their anecdotes left behind like another stain on the mat. Latino boxing stories have floated around for ages without the benefit of being passed down from generation to generation. Buried tales and colorful narratives of beloved Mexican ring idols such as Ruben Olivares, Mando Ramos, Carlos Zarate, Danny "Little Red" Lopez, Bobby Chacon, Carlos Palomino, and Alberto Davila are showcased in these pages, their stories revived because no champion deserves to be forgotten. Other overlooked heroes and one-hit wonders of the golden era of Southland boxing (1940s-1970s) will also be saluted, along with the bygone contenders of the barrio who never saw their name in neon lights.

Reviews
"The book's photos alone are enough to enjoy over and over again. Sports in L.A. has always had a slightly different feel to it largely because of its Latino heritage. Aguilera captures it perfectly. A lot of nuggets are captured in his third book. Items and facts that won't be found in any other boxing novel or publication. I still look at the same pages I've read over and over. There's magic in the pages. Boxing magic...You won't regret purchasing it." -David A. Avila, International Brotherhood of Prizefighters, "If you want to see blood, I suggest 'Lost Stories of West Coast Latino Boxing,' the third in a trilogy of short books by Gene Aguilera that uses the history of the sweet science in Southern California as a metaphor for the Latino experience. Drawing on the author's personal collection of photos, posters, programs, and magazines, this quick tome gives only a couple of paragraphs and photos to well-known homegrown stars like Oscar De la Hoya, Art Aragon, and Fernando Vargas, which Aguilera covered in previous books. 'Lost Stories' focuses instead on long-forgotten heroes like Solomon Garcia Smith, a half-Irish, half-Mexican from Los Angeles who was the first-ever Latino world champion when he won the featherweight title in 1893." -Gustavo Arellano, LA Times
