  Jorge Castro (boxer) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Jorge "locomotora" Castro (Spanish: locomotive), (born August 18, 1967 in Caleta Olivia, Santa Cruz province) is an Argentine boxer and former Middleweight champion of the world, but who will probably be remembered, more than anything, for what happened in his second defense of the title.
Castro, who in 1985 was set to become a professional boxer but suffered a bicycle accident that left him injured so badly that doctors told him he'd never be able to fight as a professional, recuperated from the accident and turned professional, defying the doctor's predictions, in 1987.
Castro was trailing badly on all three scorecards, with one eye closed and the other one only halfway opened, bleeding and taking combination after combination against the ropes, when the referee went in to stop the fight.

 Vassiliy Jirov vs. Jorge Castro (February 1, 2002)
Wading in, the tubby Castro chugged forward and delivered a clean left hook to the chin but his lack of condition hampered his follow up punches and the shaken Jirov escaped and came on as the round concluded.
Peppering Castro's orange hair dyed head with a variety of jabs, right hooks and clubbing lefts that made the sweat fly, Jirov slipped and blocked the majority of the huffing and puffing challenger's selective counters as he briskly stepped in and out and began to bury the former middleweight champ on the scorecards.
Towards the end of the 10th round, Castro again erupted and shook Jirov with a hard one two on the Russian's head but once again received a boxing lesson in the 11th frame and was temporarily doubled up by a solid left smash to the bread basket as he tried to unsuccessfully close the distance.

Jorge Mas despises him for that and, because Sánchez is one of the most prominent dissidents inside Cuba, Mas views him as a possible threat to future goals.
Jorge Mas might not have reached his current status as globe-hopping international diplomat, back-slapping buddy to prominent politicians and influential advisor to the President if he had carried with him a reputation as an active associate of the most violent of anti-Castro terrorists.
Although Jorge Mas' extremely close relationship with both Felix Rodriguez and Luis Posada indicates his intimate knowledge of the illegal Contra arms supply network and its White House overseers, the hardest evidence that he was directly involved in it comes straight from the guy who held the strings, Ollie North.

Castro utilizes recognizable guitar sounds to create his aural magic and resulting scenery that unfolds in our ears and minds, but also employs numerous effects to create colors and textures that enhance the music.
The use of un-efx'd guitar sounds also adds a rawness, and even a bit (at times) of a rock element to the music, despite the fact that the instrument is being used to create soundscapes, something that sets it apart from much similar music I've heard.
