In this edition of “Pages From The Scrapbook” features my pre-fight article piece on the Hector Camacho vs. Edwin Rosario / WBC lightweight championship – dated June 12, 1986.
Many of my current fan base don’t know that back in the seventies, eighties, and nineties, I was a boxing beat writer for my local newspaper, the Santa Barbara News Press, doing fight predictions. I also appeared as a guest reporter on local radio for all major fights.
I learned quite a bit about the journalism field in my younger years that has helped me to be the best I can today in producing dmboxing.com for all. I am delighted to bring back some of these old article features to my website.
This was the fight that changed Macho to not so Macho. I was never impressed by him after this bout.
