Joe Souza has passed later will come a time for a historian's analysis but right now.  http://www.mysanantonio.com/sports/boxing/article/Boxing-coach-cutman-dies-at-77-2269515.php.  He was San Antonio's real life answer to the fictional Mickey Goldmill.  Joe's decline has be long and sad.  There are many memories of him by many people the real life Mickey of San Fernando gym.  The press conference of his induction to the San Antonio boxing hall of fame remains a classic.  For a few seconds boxing media, boxers past and present got to break bearing as legendary ring announcer lovingly poked fun at a rivalry fading into history.  For those seconds local boxing people were kids again love the sport.  San Antonio is now without its Mickey Goldmill.
