GUADALAJARA–Most of you gringos out there in Boxingland aren’t aware of how outspoken Mexico’s greatest trainer, Ignacio “Nacho” Beristain routinely is.
But, having known this member of TWO boxing halls of fame for decades, I have long known that Professor Beristain bites his tongue on no subject.
Even with my mangled espanol, sans a credible intrerpreter, I deduced that.
So it was when I mentioned Mexico’s most popular and charismatic rising ring star and, no, I am not making reference to scion of the legend, Julio Cesar Chavez, Jr.
I put it bluntly to the Nacho Man before his latest world champion Juan Carlos Salgado took a hard fought decision and the vacant IBF junior lightweight title from Dominican Argenis Mendez Saturday night in a gym at the Autonomous University of Guadalajara.
