José Luis
‘Dum Dum’ Pacheco was born on August 22, 1949 in Madrid, Madrid, Spain. At 16 years of age is arrested for petty crimes and then
is sent to prison, where he survives 3 hard years. Being a great lover of
boxing he redirects his life through the sport for which he feels a special
motivation.
On his
release from prison he volunteers for military service and joins the Legion of
Ceuto for which he has always felt a special admiration.
In 1976 he
wrote the autobiographical book, Mear
Sangre.
He is presented
a great opportunity to fight the European Welterweight Championship against Danes
Hans Palm Herrik but he was involved in an unfortunate traffic accident hitting
a truck head on, which kept him out of the ring for four years.
After trying
once again to jump start his boxing career, he hangs up his gloves at the age
of 36. Dum Dum had 111 fights winning 74 (52 by knock out), lost 22 (8 by
knockout) and 14 draws.
After his
boxing career he turned to acting and appeared in a few films among which were
three Euro-westerns: “Chicano” (1980), “The Black Wolf” (1980) and “The Revenge
of the Black Wolf” (1981) in the role of Private Spencer.
He lives a
quiet life in Madrid's Villarosa, in the district of Hortaleza, and today we
celebrate his 65th birthday.
