Guillermo

 

Guillermo came from Guadalajara in a rusty old steamer. He came to the big city to get as rich as Steve Jobs. Yet for the time being, he is a waiter at Pepe's Pizzeria, along a dusty avenue, and Steve Jobs is dead. But Guillermo does not know, as he won't read a newspaper. All day long, he serves away Reginas, Vesuvios and Pineapple-Chorizo Specials. Meanwhile, he gets stronger and stronger, as he only eats pizzas and walks a lot. He once computed that he walks 20 miles a day, from the kitchen booth to the terrace and back. Then, even when he is tired after work, he goes to the boxing club. He now has rope-like legs and a powerful punch. The problem is he often goes berserk on the ring, and gets fined because he bites his opponents. One day, he even tears an ear away from a sluggish guy and eats it. He gets fired from the club and the Federation. That's when he turns Vesuvio himself and gets into cage fighting.
