                    [Summary] => Looking at former world junior lightweight boxing champion 


Harold Gomes, you wouldn’t think he lived a hard life. He’s 70, going on 50. There are lines in his face but the cherubic features are intact.

Talking to Gomes, you realize why he’s aging so gracefully. He has an infectious sense of humor. He holds no grudges. He hates intrigue. He accepts whatever comes his way, whether good or bad fortune. He resists stress like the plague. And he lives a happy family life.

Close to 40,000 fans packed the Big Dome for Gomes’ first defense of the 130-pound crown and 5,000 more–who couldn’t be squeezed in–waited outside the stadium, listening to a ringside blow-by-blow account through a loud speaker hurriedly connected by the Araneta family.
