ESPN -"Several fights broke out during the second day of the viewing of the slain fighter Tuesday, including a scratching match between his alleged girlfriend, another woman who says she's his longtime girlfriend and his sisters, according to local media reports in Puerto Rico.'I am the actual girlfriend of Macho, and those who don't like it better not bring it,' said Cynthia Castillo, who claimed to be Camacho's girlfriend at the time of his death. 'They shouldn't be going after me. They should be thanking me for being with him at all times.' Castillo planted a kiss on the mouth of the slain boxer at the viewing and then walked to the area reserved for family, where she claimed her plate of food was upended. She got into an altercation with Gloria Fernandez, who claimed to have been Camacho's girlfriend for the past 25 years, as well as Camacho's sisters, Esther and Estrella. 'I went to get something to eat because Machito (Hector Camacho Jr.) told me to, and his ex-girlfriend (Fernandez) came up to me and told me that I had to leave,'. Castillo told ESPN Deportes, showing a fresh scratch across her clavicle. 'I said no, so they threw my plate of food and attacked me, and I defended myself.'
There was also pushing and shoving between former bantamweight champ Wilfredo Vazquez and Jorge Lozada, who said he's a member of the Camacho family, after Lozada allegedly tried to separate Vazquez's wife and Camacho's mother, Maria Matias, as the two embraced.
Couple things. First is that Macho was probably looking down on all this chaos and shaking his head and thrilled he was dead, just like Larry in the episode of Curb when he gave Richard Lewis his kidney (first 5 seconds)..
Second, I love the showmanship of the girlfriend who no one wanted there: "I'm the actual girlfriend of Macho and those who don't like it better not bring it". A true boxers girlfriend. But I got news for you hun, you ain't his "actual" girlfriend. If there's two of you fighting over him at his funeral, there's probably a few more who didn't go to the funeral. Not to mention he probably smashed every Puerto Rican broad he could touch gloves with. Either way, I got no doubt in my mind that Macho would agree the cliche "he's in a better place" holds true for him...even though, you know, he got shot in the head.
