By Doug Cavanaugh

Herrera was the prototype for the hard hitting, hard drinking Latin prizefighter, noted in his day for having the heaviest punch (and heaviest thirst) of any fighter at or near his weight.

Great stuff, especially as he is currently active in my career replay. In June of 1899, Aurelio is 9-1-1 (8), coming off a UD10 victory over Jimmy Barry on 6/12/99. Herrera is currently the 13th-ranked FW in the world.

Here is a photo of Herrera in a 3-piece suit. His grandneice just sent the photo to the author Doug Cavanaugh.
