gonetoearth 5,144 Posted November 24, 2012 Report Share Posted November 24, 2012 (edited) Certainly wouldnt wish a death like that on anyone but he was a repulsive character he was in London in the late ,s hyping a fight with Terry Marsh his arrogant nasty attitude never went down none too well he made a quick exit back home in the end..................as a fighter he was a hit and hoppit merchant i watched him run for the entire 12 rounds to a points win in Miami over my old pal Boza Edwards must of been around 85........ Usually when someone dies they are described in angelic beautiful ways.........i think they,ll struggle to talk like that about Camacho !..............sad that he,s dead but when you dance with the devil and all that. . The kids had a big poster of him in the gym one of the old fellas ripped it down after he done the Fingers acroos the throut sign at a pre fight interview. He just played the tough guy to. Camra not like he is the first or the last to do that gnash. Forgot he fought JBE did you spar with boza. Edited November 24, 2012 by gonetoearth Quote Link to post Share on other sites

gnasher16 31,371 Posted November 24, 2012 Report Share Posted November 24, 2012 hit and hop it merchant lol would you not be better saying i remember the night he gave boza a boxing lesson Have you ever actually seen the fight ?..............Even his own fans booed him from the 3rd round on !!................They had a brilliant 20 second exchange in the first round and that set the pattern for the rest of the fight,Camacho RAN from Boza the whole night.................Camacho went through a period of fighting like that he did the same with Rosario the year before and if memory serves me right did the same with the trainer Freddie Roach a few years before that...........only when he moved up in weight did the running stop.......Great fighter no doubt about it.... i just never got to grips with tracking down runners maybe its an ingrained hatred Quote Link to post Share on other sites

If you,d heard come out his mouth what i heard in relation to various people i reckon youd be with me ...but f**k it thats not important. Spar with Boza he was a super feather/lightweight !........shared the same gym for a few years never the same ring though. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
