Berto Pays Tribute To Jackie Leonard

Long time boxing promotor and trainer Jackie Leonard dies at 89. Jack taught me and the rest of us at PAL boxing gym in Winter Haven a lot. He taught me how to throw a fast jab in which was the fastest in the gym and how to hit the speed bag. Berto will pay tribute to Jack by wearing a "JL" on his uniform. I am very sad to hear that Jack has passed and he should go down in the hall of fame. He has promoted fighters like Archie Moore and Sugar Ray Leonard.

May Jackie Leonard rest in peace.
