Tony "The Tiger" Baltazar

Tony “The Tiger” Baltazar was born in East Los Angeles, but raised in La Puente, CA. As he put it, he learned how to box, when he learned how to walk. His father Frankie “Kiki” Baltazar was a boxer in his day and would take him and his brother Frankie Jr. to the gym every day after school since they were young kids. Tony had about four hundred amateur fights. Most of his professional fights took place at the historic Olympic Auditorium in Los Angeles. He fought many tough fights against guys like 1976 Olympic gold medalist Howard Davis Jr., Hector “Macho” Camacho, Roger Mayweather, Buddy McGirt, and Robin Blake.
