By Rick FarrisBob Bell was one of my first trainers.
He came to L.A. from Detroit in the 50's, where he had trained with Henry Hank.
Later he came to L.A. and fought for Johnny Flores.
Bob Bell was one of the best teachers I ever knew.
He was generous with his time and experience, like so many who worked with kids in L.A.'s Junior Golden Gloves program.
By day, Bob would work as an auto mechanic at a San Fernando Valley Dodge dealership. At night he helped with Flores' amateurs.
Bob was a cagey pro with a lot of tricks up his sleeve. He taught me a lot of things, good things, he was a man of charactor.
