L actors are terrible witnesses you (thanks Dalmiro Sáenz). When I first showed up at the moon as preliminary, the emotion was much higher than when I went to the same ring to defend the WBA super bantamweight belt. At that moment, everything was experienced as something natural (pride of the protagonists). To me it makes me tell you that Luna Park closed (with permission from Borges). ( Sergio Victor Palma, Olé )
l E Luna Park is pure history and the dream of every fighter, much more from the disappearance of those festivals every Saturday one could follow the radio or television when there was a world title at stake. ( Pablo Chacón, Olé )
