Sad to report that long time Top Rank publicist Ricardo Jimenez has passed away. Condolences are pouring in from all over the boxing world for Ricardo, who was one of the nicest and most hard-working people in the sport.
“He helped us all the time,” said Karl Freitag, Editor and Chief of Fightnews.com®. “He was truly one of the good guys in boxing. The best of the best. We’ll miss him a lot.”
Rest in peace, Ricardo.
Good guy. I remember going to Vegas in the late 90’s for KCAL fight nights at the Tropicana where I got the chance to speak with him a truly honorable genuine good guy with tons of knowledge of the sweet science.
Rest In Peace maestro
Mis condolences a su fam,family, amateur del box y este sr auque no lo conosco personal mente es una gran persona ,,, RIP
I remember seeing him at Disneyland and he came up to me and said I got robbed in a fight that I fought that weekend on Sunday night fights. I was like wow. I felt like I just saw a big celwbrity and he was so nice to me. For some reason he always stayed in my mind remembering him and how he made me feel like a champion. His great spirit stayed with me. God Bless his family.
