EP 96: Bye Bye Bicep


Listen Later

We have former professional boxer & current LAFD civilan staff, Luis Mora telling us how he blew out his bicep during an intense session punching a heavy bag. The blowout was so severe that Luis had to have a donor bicep transplanted into his arm. He tells us the story of his journey from the streets of Northeast LA, trying (not always succesfully) to stay out of gangs, which led him to boxing, where he found success & a way off the streets, sort of. We learn about the world of pro boxing, bad promoters, getting fights, getting knocked out, fighting thru injuries, & all the people who show up to watch fights. We learn what its like growing up when your dad is a "knucklehead" & all of your friends are too. We also learn how Luis worked for the LA Mayors office & City Hall, while fighting as a professional boxer at night (his nickname was "The Mayor"), you'll be surprised when you learn what his job was at City Hall too. Luis is super interesting & a fun guest who knocks out this interview.
