Lulu Perez’s night of highs and lows in boxing
Louis “Lulu” Perez relives a rare night at Madison Square Garden February 27 1954 when he defeated idol Willie Pep to claim top form and future hopes, reflecting on a seven year career that included bouts with Saddler and a life after boxing with wife Doris and son Andrew Louis. Perez recalls peppering both triumph and hardship, noting Pep’s age and prime, his close loss to Saddler, and the allure and perils of prizefighting shaping his life in Liberty.
