Jorge, a former lightweight weight champion who competed from 2005 to 2011, said his brother followed his steps, but was a strong boxer in his own right.
Carlos’s boxing race covered from 2004 to 2008, and separated from the acclaimed gold gloves tournament from the New York Daily News.
“He was talking about 100 amateur fights,” said his brother. “It was a very good amateur boxer. He continued in my steps in that sense. When we were growing, every time you saw me, you saw it.”
“I wanted to be a boxer like me,” Jorge added. “It was a very good boxer, not only for me, but it was just a good boxer alone.”

“He helped me box when I was young,” Carlos said during the 2007 interview. “I saw all the trophies I was winning, and I wanted to have some of mine. I saw how all the hard work for him was worth it, and now he is also beginning to pay me.”
But Carlos exchanged his gloves and made his legs work for 15 years as a sanitation worker for a private company, said his brother.
