Macho Time

Raised in 1970s Spanish Harlem, Hector Camacho lived a life as fast as his fists flew in the ring. Handsome, flamboyant, and outspoken, Camacho electrified the boxing scene of the 1980s and, shouting his mantra “Macho Time!”, beat some of the greatest fighters of his generation. His fast-lane life caught up with him eventually—and tragically—when he was shot dead outside a nightclub in Puerto Rico at the age of fifty. MACHO TIME is written by Christian Giudice, author of HANDS OF STONE, which was made into the motion picture of the same name starring Robert De Niro.
