Boixing lost a terrific champion way too early in the summer of 1982. Salvador Sánchez of Mexico was well on his way to becoming the greatest featherwight boxer of all time. Sánchez was 44-1-1 in 46 career fights. He had upset popular Danny (Little Red ) Lopez in February 1980 to win the WBC version of the 126-pound title. He went on to defend it numerous times in the next 30 months. Sánchez was a skilled boxer/puncher who could wear down an opponent with accurate, sharp, stinging blows. He was, not surprisingly, a national hero in Mexico. Sadly Sánchez was killed in a sngle-car crash in Mexico on August 12, 1982. He was just 23 years old. At the time he was training for a rematch with the tough Juan Laporte. Sánchez had beaten Laporte in December 1980. Sánchez's last fight was a skillful 15-round knockout of Azumah Nelson in New York City's Madison Square Garden about three weeks before the fatal car accident. Sánchez crashed on the early morning while driving his Porsche 928 sports car along the Mexican federal highway from Santiago de Querétaro to San Luis Potosí, dying instantly. Sánchez was posthumously inducted into the International Boxing Hall of Fame in 1991.

Dire Straits. Marty mentioned front to back albums. Here's one of my favourites. Love Over Gold. A set of headphones a coffee then sit back and disappear into the sounds. I know it's a long track, But.

I have recently found out that there are quite a few of you who do remember '80. At least it appears to be just that. Isn't that why we and you are sitting here?
In truth, it was based on a book about immersions into darkness and light.
Who wrote it? Actually, the writer had only one book in him. With the film, I still remember seeing it in the theater just after Christmas.
And you? Remember? It sure made an attempt at making you think on the entire likelihood of it. Do you believe? It was a pretty odd story at the time. *E*
