	Luis Angel Firpo by Gene Tunney - A Champion On Champions Magazine Article (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-07)
		To get back to the Wild Bull of the Pampas, Firpo is the son of an Italian laborer, was born in the Wharfside area of Buenos Aires, and is self-made in every sense.
		But Firpo had no manager to protect his interests, either then, or even earlier in the round when Dempsey stood over him, clubbing him down again each time he got up.
		The answer, whether ever actually spoken in just those words, is typical of Firpo, a jolly robust fellow with a wry sense of humor, a great heart, and a tight fist, the latter both literally and figuratively.

		Firpo in his yellow and fl checked robe with purple cuffs and collar looked more like the jazz age ruffian then Dempsey who wore a white sweater around his shoulders into the ring.
		Somehow, Firpo summoned his strength and launched a pile driver of a right hand which exploded against Dempsey, who was wide open and mindlessly hurtling in for another attack on what seemed like a dead-to-rights fighter.

	Deportes en El Diario de Hoy: Firpo chocó con el bravo San Luis
		Es indudable que Luis Angel Firpo salió gritando un triunfo de la cancha de San Luis Talpa, luego de ese sufrido empate 1-1 que consiguió frente a un aguerrido San Luis.
		Y eso había sido porque mientras Firpo se asfixiaba en el toque, el San Luis solamente necesitaba el pelotazo de Luis Alonso Tamacas o de Jaime Mejía para habilitar a Sigüenza o Centeno para ponerse a tiro de gol.
		Luego del gol de Sigüenza marcado sobre el minuto 18, Luis Angel Firpo no cambió su libreto del toque, pero afirmó su marca en el medio juego, incorporó más a sus laterales en función ofensiva, ampliando de esa manera su frente de ataque, y se volvió más punzante para pasar al frente.
