Luvi: campeón, 1983

Black and White Series

"The difference between the journalist and the writer", wrote the poet Vladimir Maiakovsky, "is not in the ends, but only in the verbal elaboration." We could apply this definition to the photo essay that Méndez Caratini just finished, around the figure of Víctor "Luvi" Callejas -proclaimed World Junior Featherweight champion, in Guaynabo, last May 26, 1983.
