“Erasmo is a great kid. He comes from a family that lives in a little town, where he has done everything possible he can out of nowhere. Nobody believed in him because of his size and everything else. But that kid is so strong and so good and so humble. Everything you see on him is a

smile. And it’s a pure smile.— Dennis “El Presidente” Martinez
