BORICUA BOXING's video: Boxing Promoter Mercedes Vazquez Supports the WILFRED BENITEZ Movement - You Should Too

SUBSCRIBE HERE ►http://j.mp/1250EvF◄ “Wilfredo Benitez Needs Us Now” – Boxing promoter Mercedes Vazquez among those showing support. https://www.GoFundMe.com/3ort9zk Yesterday at the Coliseo Gallistico de Bayamon, a special event was organized to help raise funds for the care of Wilfredo Benitez. There is a strong community in Puerto Rico with the “cock fighting” sport. Junito Aponte put together the event and invited several members of the boxing world. My fellow boxing media colleague Efrain Diaz who started the movement “No Campeon, No me Olvido de ti (No Champion, I haven’t forgotten you)” by selling t-shirts to help Benitez’ Sister Yvonne had his t-shirt stand set up and they were selling very fast. Yvonne was present also with her husband Efrain Crespo Diaz and her grandson, as well as former boxer and Cancer survivor Daniel “Pipino” Alicea. Members of the boxing community who showed up to show support were Alfredo “Salsero” Escalera, Samuel Serrano, Jason Sosa, Michael Angelo Perez, Carlos “El Topo” Gerena, and the only Puerto Rican female Boxing Promoter Mercedes Vazquez who flew in from New York for the event and visited Benitez at his residence the previous day. I spoke to Mercedes and asked her how important it was for her to join this movement. Mercedes replied, “Wilfredo has done so much for our Island of Puerto Rico, for the sport of boxing and so much that he’s done for us, I think it’s time for us in the boxing community to gather around when one of our own is down and out. That’s why we’re here. I came in from New York for the event so we’re here to show support.” I thanked Mercedes for the interview and the fights began with everyone waiting for the arrival of Felix “Tito” Trinidad.
