Tito Trinidad

One of the Greatest Puerto Rican Boxers


During this time of cigar making Puerto Rico had their first world champion Sixto Escobar. He won his world title in 1930 against Baby Casanova. This was during the time of the great depression but also during a time that Latinos in New York were not being well represented. During this time when Sixto was champion Puerto Rican people in New York felt in a way that they not only could compete in sports but also in the working force and be succesful and brought a tremendous sense of pride to Puerto Ricans.
