Vince Martinez had a devoted following in Lawrence thanks to his close relatives, the Romano family. Vince's cousin, Dave Romano trains kids at the Lawrence Boxing Club. Dave was kind enough to pose for me the other day after I remarked on the strong family resemblance between Dave and Vince.

Vince was a fall back to earlier times when boxing idols had large local followings that traveled anywhere to see them perform. He was also considered the idol of the 1950’s bobby soxers because of his movie star good looks. He was one of boxing’s most photogenic fighters and received Hollywood offers. Dan Cuoco
