While Morgan was still on the experiment table, Dekkar had dispatched several teams to capture and treat other preselected candidates with his new vitamin/steroid concoction. While most of these teams abandoned their mission upon hearing of Dekkar's subsequent incarceration, one did not. This team, the same one which had kidnapped Morgan, returned once more to Detroit with their eyes set upon another young athlete determined to complete their instructions and stay in their boss' good books should he escape the Police.<br><br> | |
Born in 1945 Antonio Alvarez was youngest son of single father Jorge Alvarez, a Mexican immigrant who following the death of his wife raised teen sons, Antonio and his older brother Ricardo while working long hours at Chrysler's assembly plants to support his family. With Jorge working, Ricardo and Antonio spent a lot of time on the streets, but the strong ethics and catholic upbringing instilled by their father kept them out of gangs and trouble. Ricardo was a fine singer and made some money for the family performing for dinner crowds in local restaurants. Meanwhile, Antonio was a dedicated athlete — a member of many school sports teams, he enjoyed boxing the most. As a teen he entered the Golden Gloves tournaments and won several; promoters were soon paying attention to the kid with the fast hands and ready smile and he was dubbed 'El Poco Zorro' (The Little Fox).<br><br> | Born in 1945 Antonio Alvarez was youngest son of single father Jorge Alvarez, a Mexican immigrant who following the death of his wife raised teen sons, Antonio and his older brother Ricardo while working long hours at Chrysler's assembly plants to support his family.

A string of uncontested victories early in 1966 had put the now 21 year old professional Antonio on Dekkar's radar. And so following yet another successful bout, Antonio was resting in the Locker Room when he was surprised by a sweet smelling cloth was clamped firmly over his mouth and nose by a steel grip. As he slipped into the chloroforms cloying sleep, he felt a sharp stab in his right arm. Antonio was awakened by the vigorous shaking being administered by his trainer Alfredo. Looking around confused for a moment, he then looked down at his arm but whatever had stabbed him had left no mark. Not sure if he had dreamed the attack or not, Antonio decided not to mention it.<br><br> | A string of uncontested victories early in 1966 had put the now 21 year old professional Antonio on Dekkar's radar.
