Latino Boxing in Southern California

with author Gene Aguilera 

By KiKi 

Want to thank my good friend Gene Aguilera for hand delivering me an autograph copy of his new  book 'Latino Boxing in Southern California'

The title of the book is self-explanatory so there is no need to explain much about what the book is all about. Having said that let me say that the book is a must-read for all boxing fans no matter the color of their skin. - Gene, in his great book, does a great job of covering all the bases on the latino boxers that practice their trade in Southern California rings from the 1900s to the present. 

Gene has two great books under his belt, but these books only cover the tip of the iceberg of Southern California boxing history, so,  I would suggest that my friend writes a third book focusing on the great fights (and not on the fighters per se) that were fought in Southland rings from the 1900s to the present. Those great fights that were fought by some of the most courageous warriors ever to step into a square circle in venues like the Hollywood Legion Stadium, Ocean Park Arena, The Sports Arena, Dodgers Stadium, The Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum, The Forum, Eastside Arena, and the Olympic Auditorium, et al. are stories unto themselves, and those stories are needed to be told, and Gene is the one to tell those great stories.
