The voice of Eduardo ‘Don Lama’ Lamazón has fallen silent; on Monday, May 4, the passing of the boxing commentator was confirmed. At the age of 69, Don Lama died, leaving behind an extensive legacy in the world of boxing commentary. True to his style—critical, erudite, and contemplative—the narrator left a posthumous message in which he expressed his gratitude for all the affection shown to him by his audience.
It was through his official social media channels that Lama’s family—affectionately known as *Lamita*—shared the sports analyst’s final words. In them, he took the time to bid farewell to his fans, as well as to those who had stood by him throughout his career, which spanned more than 50 years.
“To my beloved family, friends, and my noble audience who have accompanied me throughout my life: Today, I address you not with a ‘goodbye,’ but with a deep and sincere ‘until we meet again,’” reads the opening of the post.
In this posthumous message, he expressed his profound gratitude to Mexico—a country he defined as the place where he not only cultivated his passion for boxing but also found opportunities and a home for over five decades. Lamazón emphasized that Mexico provided him with a sense of belonging that left an indelible mark on his life; it is worth noting that Eduardo Lamazón was originally from Buenos Aires, Argentina, and had migrated to Mexican soil at a very young age.
