Feel like this needs to be said. Vince Romo is an excellent interviewer. This is not easy at all to deal with these issues with compassion and empathy and keep those being interviewed comfortable. Very difficult subject matters and Vince never fails to impress on Barrio Driven. Puro respeto Vince carnal 🙏🏽👻💙
I met Paul Banke and I told him that the judges robbed him against Zaragoza and he said no because he should of knocked him out but that he had a rematch with him and he wasn't going to leave it up to the judges this time and he kept his word and KO Zaragoza for the world title. Chick Hern was announcing the fight. AND I read the Ring magazine and they said he had Aids and that he didn't look good. So all these years i thought he had passed away i thank God that the Champ the real Paul Banke is alive and well.🙏🏽🥊🥇👑
Paul Banke is a warrior both in and out of the ring. His story is one of triumph over darkness, where drugs and the shadow of HIV couldn't keep him down. Instead of succumbing, he rose, thrived, and now stands as a symbol of resilience and blessing. His journey is a powerful reminder that the human spirit can overcome anything. #championspirit
The power that this interview has is amazing.. thanks to Paul for sharing his story god is great.. and thank you to Vince and the crew for making it happen .. one of the best shows I’ve ever seen

Vince Romo . Plz restrain yourself from unknowingly bashing or taking cheap shots at this man . what was said and what was distributed for us to see on the episode cannot be erased or taken back. Vince Romo in person you should address this man with an apology for saying he lost it ALL. Odyssey for Paul it was not about the money or the fortune as for some boxers that's all they want is the big pot of gold at the end of the fight I never once heard this man mention anything about $ it was the fight that he endured. Not frame Not Wealth . Paul Never should you feel like you have not achieved. Your turn-around in life was the toughest battle man can fight undetected with the virus, 9 years sobriety and has made it in the boxing Ring -W.B.C or not he has defeated the addiction the curse the shame the embarrassment champion from being a world champion in Indianapolis in eating out the trash and being positive to the very moment is a success story . Paul You stated you had 2 lives in 1 life span
WE ARE FAMILY, ITS CUZ I HAD HURT MY BACK DURING THIS TIME IM ACTUALLY WEARING A BACK BRACE HERE BUT IM GOING BACK THESE NEXT FEW WEEKS!! JUST HOLD TIGHT....THE STREETS R COMING!!! 💯💯
His brother was also a boxer and he was also on drugs steve banke i met him one time and he told me he had about 100 amateur fights and tou can tell that he was clearly strung on simething
Paul banke , Vincent is not correct on his statement. You did not lose it. His statement was you lost it all . No you did not you let it go momentarily you to stay at the individual that you are back out there coaching guiding or giving back to the youth and helping them in boxing that means you still have it you have regained.
Didn’t like this interview at all. No need to Talk so much about his past I was there for. Banke fights. Everybody loved him. Sold out Forum Let’s talk about that Hes. Ok. He made it out. I’m proud of him. Good for Banke. Great to see u. Banke. Saw you at Andy Ruiz vs Ortiz. Fight. U looked great. Didn’t want to bother you. While u were there. Enjoying yourself. Wish him the best.
