Question
Hello,  i am interested in my brother Ruben Espinoza's boxing record.  i have ask my father Lee, for an accurate number.  so him asking you for his record plus notable victories.

Answer
Hi Vince - unfortunately records were not kept before 1987 - that's when the passbook became mandatory.  I also didn't join amateur boxing until 1987 and never had the chance to see Ruben box.  I do know he is one of 4 people to have decisioned Oscar De La Hoya when they were teenagers.  I'm surprised Lee or June didn't keep track.
