The Hispanic boxing community may remember Alonso from covering Forum fights back in the 70’s and 80’s, but he was better known for his extensive coverage of Pro Wrestling.
And that’s how I will remember him.
He was a friend of the family; and ever since my brother’s and I were kids, he would always get us comped at any major wrestling events here in Los Angeles, and a boxing event on occasion. But we were wrestling fans way before we became boxing fanatics, and Miguel Alonso would get us into the Sports Arena anytime the WWF was in town.
Thanks, Miguel. We’ll never forget your generosity, and definitely not the memories my brothers and I share.
