I grew up in Northern Idaho but we got to see the televised matches from the Olympic and the Forum. Some great fighters in that era. I remember seeing the School Boy and Little Red on the undercard matches as they were just breaking in. I remember excitedly telling my brother about their matchup when it was announced.

Bobby Chacon is one of my all-time favorite fighters. Rest in peace.

Hurry home early hurry on home
Boom Boom Mancini’s fighting Bobby Chacon
Hurry home early hurry on home
Boom Boom Mancini’s fighting Bobby Chacon

From Youngstown, Ohio, Ray “Boom Boom” Mancini
A lightweight contender, like father like son
He fought for the title with Frias in Vegas
And he put him away in round number one

Hurry home early hurry on home
Boom Boom Mancini’s fighting Bobby Chacon
Hurry home early hurry on home
Boom Boom Mancini’s fighting Bobby Chacon

When Alexis Arguello gave Boom Boom a beating
Seven weeks later he was back in the ring
Some have the speed and the right combinations
If you can’t take the punches, it don’t mean a thing

Hurry home early hurry on home
Boom Boom Mancini’s fighting Bobby Chacon
Hurry home early hurry on home
Boom Boom Mancini’s fighting Bobby Chacon

When they asked him who was responsible
For the death of do Koo Kim
He said, “Some one should have stopped the fight
And told me it was him.”

They made hypocrite judgements after the fact
But the name of the game is be hit and hit back

Hurry home early hurry on home
Boom Boom Mancini’s fighting Bobby Chacon
Hurry home early hurry on home
Boom Boom Mancini’s fighting Bobby Chacon
