He's the guy that inspired my dad to start martial arts and push to become a kickboxing champion. I had the honor to meet and talk with him one time. In fact it was a life changing weekend for me. My dad introduced me to the man that inspired him to do great things and that same day I also met the man the inspired me. It was that same day I met Eddie Bravo for the first time. Maybe some day I will introduce my son to Eddie in the same way.
RIP BIG JOE............ My dad has had me watch film on him countless times. He knew putting on a good show was almost as important as the outcome of the fight. I only met him the one time but I feel like he has tought me a ton thru my dad. I'm sure my dad is going to be bumming when I tell him the news.
