  Lou Duva - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Lou Duva (born May 28, 1922) is a boxing trainer who was born in Manhattan, New York, but moved to Paterson, New Jersey at a very early age.
Lou polished his skills and was an amateur and ballroom brawler by age 12.
Lou as a boxer did not have much luck, although that might have been due to the fact he barely had time to train, having to go out to the street and perform many types of jobs to try to help the Duva's economy.

Lou Duva said he was told by a Dr. Katzman that a small amount of lidicaine was injected.

Known to some as the "Raging Bulldog," Duva is tenacious in the corner and a master motivator.

 Boxing News -- 24 hours/day - Reload often!
Duva stopped only for a moment before launching into a very mild tirade of how boxing needs to be regulated with one set of rules and one governing body, like football, baseball, basketball, hockey and 95% of all other major sports, thus discontinuing all the shady activity that goes on in boxing nowadays.
This made me think about the love of Lou's life, his wife Enes who died in 1986, and how I'd read that she was always the one who pushed him into boxing, whenever he thought about giving it up for something more secure, despite his undying love for it.
Speaking of garbage, Lou says one thing he wants people to remember about him 20 years from now about being a promoter and manager during this era, opposed to his friendly enemies, Don King and Bob Arum, is this: "Neither one 'em ever put on a glove," he said.
