LAKE ELSINORE, Calif. -- Hall of Fame boxer Bobby Chacon died Wednesday under hospice care for dementia. He was 64.Riverside County coroners Sgt. Brent Seacrest said Chacon died at his home with his family present at his bedside.Inducted into the International Boxing Hall of Fame in 2005, the former WBC featherweight and super featherweight champion went 59-7-1 with 47 knockouts in a 16-year pro career. The Southern California native engaged in numerous memorable fights, including victories over rival Rafael Bazooka Limon, Cornelius Boza-Edwards, Danny Lopez and Ruben Olivares.He also beat future trainer Freddie Roach and lost to Alexis Arguello and Ray Boom Boom Mancini.One of the most exciting fighters in the history of the West Coast, an amazing blood-and-guts brawler who took on the best fighters in three divisions, said Ricky Farris, president of the West Coast Boxing Hall of Fame.Born on Nov. 28, 1951, Chacon was nicknamed Schoolboy because he turned pro while studying at Cal State Northridge, a university near his birthplace in Pacoima on the north end of the San Fernando Valley.His charismatic fighting style and good looks made him a fixture on the California boxing scene from his pro debut in 1972, fighting 20 times at the Forum in Inglewood and nine times at the Olympic Auditorium in Los Angeles.At just 22 in 1974, Chacon stopped Venezuelas Alfredo Marcano in the ninth round at the Olympic to take the featherweight title. In 1980, Chacon outpointed Limon in Sacramento for the 130-pound title in the fighters wildly entertaining fourth matchup.With profound sadness I have learned that our dear champion Bobby Chacon passed away this morning, World Boxing Council President Mauricio Sulaiman said on Twitter. May God have him now. RIP.Chacons successes were usually followed by struggles, either caused by superior opponents or his own demons.Bobbys life was not one without struggle and tragedy, but I pray he has now found peace in eternal rest, said retired boxing great Oscar De La Hoya. He accomplished much for the sport of boxing and will be dearly missed.Chacon lost his WBC featherweight title to Olivares in 1975 after struggling badly to make weight, disappointing a Forum crowd that generated a then-record for boxing gate revenue in California. Chacon also lost to Nicaraguan great Arguello in a WBC super featherweight title fight in 1979 before losing a second shot at the same title against Boza-Edwards in 1981.Chacon had his most memorable rivalry with Limon, the Mexican super featherweight. The two fought four times over seven years from 1975-82, with Chacon taking a 2-1-1 edge in the series by winning a unanimous decision for the WBC 130-pound title in December 1982.Chacon endured horrible personal tragedies both during and after his career.His wife, Valerie, killed herself in March 1982, but the boxer elected to fight the next day, stopping Salvador Ugalde in the third round in Sacramento. His son, Bobby Jr., also was killed in 1991 in a shooting attributed to gang violence.After his career ended in June 1988, Chacons memory, health and fortunes all faded. He showed numerous signs of pugilistic dementia and struggled with substance abuse, but still occasionally made public appearances at local boxing cards.Chacon graduated from San Fernando High School. He will be inducted into the West Coast Boxing Hall of Fame on Sept. 25.Darron Lee Jersey . Miller finished in two minutes, 6.09 seconds, one day before the first medal race on the Alpine schedule. The 36-year-old American also turned in the top time in Thursdays opening training session. Demarcus Robinson Jersey . After dropping their final six games of December, the Wild opened the new calendar year with four consecutive wins. Following a loss to Colorado on Saturday, Minnesota rebounded the following night to blank Nashville 4-0, but then had the tables turned on them Tuesday. http://www.prochiefsauthentic.com/Youth-Jason-Spriggs-Elite-Jersey/ . -- Ohio States Urban Meyer has never had any issue acclimating to the biggest stages in college football. Martinas Rankin Jersey . Blackwood, 28, has played the last three seasons in the San Diego Padres system, including the past two summers with Class AA San Antonio of the Texas League. Cameron Erving Jersey . Halifax beat the Saint John Sea Dogs 7-5 on the strength of two goals apiece from Nikolaj Ehlers, Matt Murphy and Brent Andrews. Jonathan Drouin also scored and had three assists while Zachary Fucale made 17 saves for the Mooseheads (16-8-0), who led 6-1 after two periods.EUGENE, Ore. -- Trayvon Bromell swore off sprinting -- all sports, really -- after taking his third ride to the hospital in as many years.Among his injuries:- Severely injured left knee on a back flip gone wrong in eighth grade.- Damaged right knee while grabbing a rebound during a basketball tournament in ninth grade.- Cracked hip in a 100-meter race as a sophomore.On his way to the doctor after hurting his hip, he told his mom, Lets just stop here before I cant walk anymore.Time healed those wounds and Bromell has bounced back to become one of the top American sprinters. The 20-year-old may even be the one to give Usain Bolt a run for the gold medal at the Rio de Janeiro Games if he makes the 100-meter team at Olympic Trials this week. It wont be automatic with Justin Gatlin, Tyson Gay and Mike Rodgers around, along with the fact that Bromell has been dealing with a tender Achilles in the lead-up to trials.My biggest dream was to go to the Olympics, but I never knew how I was going to be there, said Bromell, who kicks off his quest to reach Rio with a 100-meter heat Saturday and is entered in the 200. If I could go as a spectator, just to sit and watch, my dream would have come true. But to actually be there and compete? I just might lose my mind.At 5-foot-9, 156 pounds, nobody will confuse Bromell with Bolt, who is 6-5, 205.Bromells small frame hasnt slowed him down. He turned pro last fall after two NCAA titles at Baylor. Bromell hired the same agent as Bolt and signed a shoe deal with New Balance.This image of, `Oh, you have to have this look to be great. Well, you dont, said Bromell, whos from St. Petersburg, Florida. I want to show everyone that it is possible.Thats partly because he never thought hed even be in this place, especially after fracturing his hip in high school -- the final straw, he figured, in his athletic career. One moment Bromell was flying down Lane 6 and the next he woke up on the grass after blacking out because of pain.Time for a new path. Maybe as an engineer, he thought. Or as a tattoo artist or maybe a stint in the Army.His mom, though, convinced him to give it one more shot.ddddddddddddSo, once his hip healed, back to the track he went. Bromells first race back wasnt that spectacular -- he ran 11.33 seconds, which was well off his personal best. But it may have been one of his best races because it rekindled his desire.Bromell was named Gatorades national track and field athlete of the year in 2013, in part because he ran the fastest time ever (9.99 seconds) by a U.S. prep athlete regardless of wind conditions. He also won the USA junior championships.Turns out, he actually recruited Baylor. The Bears were known more for producing 200- and 400-meter runners such as Michael Johnson and Jeremy Wariner, but Bromell signed up and set all sorts of records. He holds the top-10 fastest 100 times at Baylor.Nothing really surprises me when Trayvon gets on the track, said Baylor associate coach Michael Ford, who trains Bromell. Hes got an inner focus that I havent seen from a young sprinter, especially one on this big of stage.At the 2015 world championships in Beijing, he tied for the bronze medal in the 100 with Andre De Grasse of Canada. Three months ago, he gained more confidence by winning the 60-meter race at the world indoor championships in Portland over a field that included Jamaican Asafa Powell.Ive always been a confident person. I dont fear too many things, Bromell said. No man on this earth will put fear in me.Now, his time has come. And though reports say hes been dealing with an Achilles sprain since May, he has taken time off from meets and expects to be fresh -- he told the Tampa Bay Times -- for whats sure to be a competitive race for one of three spots.It all comes down to who has strongest mindset, Bromell said. A lot of people dont see me big as a big threat, because of my stature and size. A lot of people count me out, just because people are bigger than me. At the end of the day, if you have stronger mindset you can overpower anyone. ' ' '
