Sugar Ray Leonard fight and has been hooked ever since.  In his own words, “I am an avid boxing memorabilia collector with numerous autographed boxing gloves. But, my most memorable boxing moment was meeting Muhammad Ali, and getting a boxing glove autographed by “The Greatest.”.  I appreciate the opportunity to write for North Texas Boxing fans here, across our Great State, and all the readers on the World Wide Web.  See you at the fights!”] Welcome aboard Hector.
