Meeting him in person and seeing him train at the famous Azteca Boxing Gym in Bell,Ca. I myself trained there alongside the world champion "Magnifico".He was very dedicated to his craft, while his boxing skill were excellent his personality was strong,friendly and pleasant. I spoke with him many times and got to know him a little closer as we are both natives of Mexico City.I felt real sad when I heard the news and then read the cause of his fatality. I actually trained at the two boxing gyms that he opened in the city of Southgate, Ca. Israel was a gentleman,warrior inside and outside the ring. My tears flowed when I learned of his death.My sincere condolences to his wife,children,family. May he RIP in his eternal glory
