		I proceeded to greet Wilfredo, who answered back in what I perceived to be some vaguely familiar tongue resembling the Spanish language; quite frankly it was hard to identify many of the words uttered.
		From that moment on, this would be the Wilfredo Rivera that I choose to remember, even in spite of the beatings received at the hands of both Oscar de la Hoya and Fernando Vargas.
		Now, years later, I have begun to visualize a new Wilfredo Rivera, one that has become a reflection of how cruel and vicious this sport can be.

		In his own way compared to Gomez, Pedroza was less blatant.
