JULIAN EGET
V.P.-Golden State Boxers Association, Inducted into the California Boxing Hall of Fame, Chairman of the selection committe for the California Boxing Hall of Fame.

A native of Toledo, OH, Julian Eget attended Macomber High School, an institution known for producing some of the finest athletes in the state. As a young man, he participated in the P.A.L. Boxing Progam. However, Julian decided he would make a better basketball player than boxer. His uncle, Syd Golberg, was the "man" in Toledo boxing, promoting for over 30 years. Julian became a close friend of Archie Moore, who headlined nine times for Goldberg. Though just a youngster, Julian can remember Moore defeating Harold Johnston in a 1952 10 round. Both went on to capture the Light-Heavyweight title. After moving to California in 1958, julian had a successful career in the automobile business and in real estate. Boxing is still one of his favorite sports and he has never missed a big championship card in Las Vegas or Los Angeles. Asked to name the best he's ever watched, Julian said it would be a toss up between Joe Louis, Rocky Marciano, Archie Moore, the two Sugars (Robinson and Leonard) and Bobby Chacon. Julian has five children and ten grandchildren.

MR. B.A.A.D.
Lightweight King Mando Ramos heard the Cheers
By Karl Hegman
"Hey vatos; Do you know who the best fighter in the world is pound for pound? Hands down, vatos, hands down! Los jabs, los hooks, los uppercuts...Mando Ramos!"-Edward James Olmos' 1992 film, "American Me".

The West Coast boxing scene in the mid 1960's throughout the early 1970's was dominated by a lightweight sensation from Long Beach, California named Armando "Mando" Ramos. Mando and his older brother, Manuel learned to box in their early years from his father, Ray who was a former fighter himself. The father pushed his sons very hard to master the sport that he loved, and in their spare time when they weren't either in the gym or in school-the boys were made to work at their Grandmother's restaurant. Managed by the legendary Jackie McCoy-Ramos turned pro at the age of 17 and ran off 17 straight wins before dropping a decision to Kang IL Suh. A couple of more wins followed before nails tough Frankie Crawford decisioned Mando in a hotly contested ten rounder at the Olympic Auditorium-the Mecca of LA boxing at the time. Ramos had already developed a near fanatical fan following by this time, particularly amongst female admirers. Tall for a lightweight-5'11-and boyishly handsome-Mando was the epitome of the Latin matinee idol, and his fights regularly sold out the Grand Olympic. The rabid fans packed the Olympic to the gills for their eagerly awaited rematch, and this time Ramos played the matador to the bull-brilliantly outboxing and outthinking the Irishman to a wide points decision victory. Ramos followed this win up with a non-title victory over WBC Super Featherweight Champion, Hiroshi Kobayashi in LA. A physically gifted athlete-Ramos was one of the very first triathlete champions in the entire country, and could box equally as well as he could slug. Ramos would bound around the ring jabbing with the left and crossing with the right as lithe as a lamb; and in the next instant he would wreak havoc on his opponent's body and head with double left hooks followed up by hurtful straight right hands before sliding out of range again. Mando could fight from both the left and the right sides and attack from 45-degree angles perfected by hundreds of hours of grueling practice in the gymnasium.

Johnny Ortiz, having been associated with the sport of Boxing for over fifty years as a fighter, trainer and manager, is considered in boxing circles to be a bona fide boxing expert as well as a boxing historian.He is a former co-proprietor of the legendary, world famous, Main Street Gym where legendary champions such as Joe Louis, Henry Armstrong, Sugar Ray Robinson, Muhammad Ali and Roberto Duran, to name just a few, once trained.Besides being the location for most of Hollywood's major boxing films in the past, Sylvester Stallone's first three Rocky movies were filmed at the Main St. Gym.

The historic boxing shrine that first opened its doors in 1933 was torn down in 1984 after operating for fifty-one years.During his tenure at the gym, Ortiz had fifteen professional fighters under contract, which he both managed and trained.
