My 77 year old Grampa with my oldest daughter, Ashley, 4 years ago. He's an old boxer from Mexico City, who worked the gold mines there before coming to the United States, where he worked the fields, started a family in Highway City near Fresno, California, and then came down to Azusa and finally San Dimas, where he was a construction contractor. His son "Tommy Pimentel", my dad and who I'm named after, was an amateur boxing champion and underestimated professional prospect who was trained by the legendary Henry Armstrong at the legendary Main Street Gym. In 1968, at the L.A. County Fair, with my mother, who was 9 pregnant with me, he was stabbed multiple times in a gang fight and that ended his career. He was my grandpa's favorite Son, and Armando Muniz was one of his favorite boxers, along with Jose "Mantequilla" Napoles, who Mando fought for the World Title - twice. He's in a rest home now and I hadn't seen him in a few years; he wasn't looking so great, all cleaned up now! It was heart warming to see him again and to surprise him with Mando, who he's never met, just as I did 4 years ago when I was in Ohio with my friend, Ray "Boom Boom" Mancini, putting him on the phone with the Champ! My dad and Grandpa taught me the great sport of boxing that I'm now teaching my own son. @wbcmoro @wbcmoro14 @nancyr505 @wbcboxing @boxing.media @puertorican_princess_89 #boxing #rayboomboommancini #armandomuniz https://www.instagram.com/p/Byv4KBGndvv/?igshid=5mn9ioxa34o
