Artemio Reyes manages a Mexican restaurant in Colton, Calif. Anyone who has ever owned, or run, a restaurant knows what a difficult, thankless job it can be.
You deal with unhappy customers and unpredictable employees. You need to pay close attention to supply and even more to the company?s books. There is almost always a problem to solve and it would often be useful to be able to clone oneself.
?You can never really rest,? Reyes said, sighing. ?It?s a 24/7 job.?
And no, Reyes doesn?t rest. But he has to fit 36 hours of stuff into a 24-hour day and it makes it a bit harried at times.
He?s a world-class boxer with a 13-1 record and 11 knockouts who, Friday night on Showtime, will meet 2008 U.S. Olympian Javier Molina in a super welterweight bout at the Bally?s Events Center in Atlantic City, N.J.
He?s also the manager of the family restaurant, El Taquito, as well as an accounting student at the University of California Santa Barbara.
