	Luis Firpo
		Luis Angel Firpo (1894-1960), better known as Luis Firpo was a boxer of enourmous transcendence in Latin America.
		Firpo was floored seven times before he trapped Dempsey against the ropes and launched a combination that sent Dempsey out of the ring in round one.
		Firpo's popularity around Latin America could not be measured until years later, when a professional football team in El Salvador, a Latin American country that is thousands of miles away from Firpo's Argentina, was named after him.

	Roberto Firpo
		On one occasion, when Firpo interpreted the pasodoble "¡Qué salga el toro!", when one of the members of the orchestra shouted the title in the middle of the interpretation, Carlitos –using his index fingres as if they were horns- rushed at the musicians who fell on the floor.
		Firpo's career was very long and in no few occasions he went back to the small line-up, like his long lasting quartets and diverse settings –in the first of them, of 1933, Juan Cambareri already played, “El Mago del Bandoneón” (the wizard of the bandoneon)- or his excellent Quinteto de Antes.
		Firpo was one of the greatest tango musicians, with a great musical knowledge even though he stuck to the most traditional school of the genre.

	Luis Angel Firpo by Gene Tunney - A Champion On Champions Magazine Article (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-03)
		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.

	Roberto Firpo
		Con respecto a este tango fundamental, el mismo Firpo recordaba: «En 1916 yo actuaba en el café La Giralda de Montevideo, cuando un día llegó un señor acompañado de unos quince muchachos -todos estudiantes- para decirme que traían una marchita y querían que yo la arreglara porque pensaban que allí había un tango.
		Cierta vez, cuando Firpo interpretaba el pasodoble "¡Qué salga el toro!", en el momento en que uno de los integrantes de la orquesta gritaba el título en medio de la interpretación, Carlitos –usando sus índices a modo de cuerno- arremetió contra los músicos que fueron a dar por el suelo.
		Firpo fue uno de los más grandes músicos del tango, de gran erudición musical no obstante mantenerse dentro de la más pura escuela tradicional del género.

	Response to Firpo Carr
		Firpo's world view isn't an easy one to sum up, incorporating as it does a range of vigorous opinions that more orthodox thinkers would struggle to hold simultaneously.
		Chalmers also discusses Firpo's family background, noting that he is the second youngest in a family of five boys and four girls and was the only male who has not yet been incarcerated (and the only one "who hasn't been shot or stabbed").
		Firpo was reared a Witness (and his family experiences do not say much for the Witness environment).

		Alas, even Mike’s fabulous championship form is already being dismissed and buried by the dreaded revisionists, who base their judgement on the disturbed and de-motivated ghost that he has been for at least the last ten years.
		For all the times I have seen the film of Dempsey knocking out Firpo, I still have to rewind the tape and play it back on some of the knockdowns in order to fully appreciate the flashing hooks that Jack is burying in Firpo’s stomach and bouncing off his chin.

		In 1987 the stadium was renamed after the legendary former owner and president of the team -- the stadium known as Usulután Stadium became known as Sergio Torres Rivera Stadium in Usulután.
