Camacho in critical condition

Camacho at the pearly gates

"God, you can get some too! Jesus, Moses, Noah, all yall niggas!"

 

R.I.P.

 

And the son should get the balls.

 

my favorite Macho Camacho moment was during the terrible Macho Camacho show on HBO Ko Nation featuring both Camacho (Jr and Sr ). Camacho Sr. was fighting some hopeless can and was boring the crowd out with his usual move and hug shtick. My mom (who hates boxing because she finds it too violent) came to speak to me and caught a glimpse of the ''fight'', she turned to me and said : finally, boxing ain't very violent, it's more like grinding than anything else ::

 

Don't feel to sorry for him. As they said he was found with 10 bags of coke in the car. He was playing with fire and got burnt. Simple as that. He wouldn't shed a tear for any of you so don't cry too hard for him.

 

what is 10 bags of coke ??? about 3-4 grams I would say, that would make it in the neighborhood of 240-320 $. Hardly a drug lord or anything, probably their peresonnal stash

 

I was picturing bigger bags..

 

Could very well be, but a lot of the time, coke is put in little baggie bags wich contains at the most 1 gram. So were probably looking at about 10 grams at the most, for 2 persons. Not that big of a amount. Of course, it's only assumption from my part (aka, talking out of my ass )

 

If the balls come attached to the chin.

 

IMO Camacho's finest performance was when he fought Jose Luis Ramirez for the WBC lightweight title. Camacho not only took him to school for 12 rounds, but also knock him down and made the pride of Mexico, the guy who gave hell to Arguello and was coming from stopping Edwin Rosario, look like a complete amateur. Ramirez did not won a single round in that fight were Camacho was very sharp & accurate. That was Camacho at his best.

 

Too bad the way it turned out. My sympathies to his family.

 

RIP

But he was not a great fighter, Ramirez was made to order for him and he was the antithesis of "ballsy" once he strated getting hit. His gameplan was survival against anyone who could hit him

 

Hector Camcho was good for one thing: entertaining me during his heinously systematic and brutal 12-round beating he endured against Julio Cesar Chavez.
Hugely entertaining and this story has reminded me to watch this again, ASAP. :bears:


Shot outside a bar? Not surprising for guys like him...

 

Agree about his style. He may not have quit by quitting, but he quit by not trying in a few tough fights.

Glad to hear he was humble and polite in person. I would have guessed otherwise.

 

WTF are you blabbering about Boss??? He shed a lot more than tears for us, he shed blood for OUR entertainment for years! It's because of guys like him that we're all here posting on a boxing discussion board. I guess you never considered that.

 

:Thumbs:

 

He shed blood for money. Money that bought him nice things.

 

Cheap that way, was he?

 

There's easier ways to make money, homey! :: From what people have said about him, he was always kind and respectful to fans which shows that he had an appreciation for the people who spent their money to watch him and in exchange for their money, he shed his blood so they'd get their money's worth.
He wouldn't shed a tear for you if you were dying because he doesn't know who you are. If he knew who you were, how do you know he wouldn't shed a tear for you? How do you know if he's ever donated money to charities or helped his fellow man in need?

 

So, now doing drugs makes you a bad person? He did coke, wow. Never killed someone with a gun as far as I know. Robert Downey JR. did coke and what not and he's a "cool" person in the eyes on many. Fuck you all "holier-than-thou" hypocrites".

 

Hector was always getting into scrapes. He was "going that way", as people say. For me...the chances are the guy was mistaken for somebody else, wrong-place-wrong-time kind of thing. I doubt he was a really "bad" person but you don't have to be bad...being stupid and reckless will do it.

 

Sad. RIP champ.

 

RIP champ. You will be missed.

PR is really a mess. So many Puerto Ricans are leaving the island because of how its gotten.

 

yeah, he's such a bad boy cause he had 10 baggies of coke in his car.
