Don't remember his real name, or it's correct spelling, but it was pronounced "A-Goose-A-Tay". Same person?

Supposedly Ronnie was afraid to play him anything 1-handed, except 1 pocket. If the Mexican guy was allowed to play 1handed, but have the cue rest on the table, the guy played just as good as he did with both hands, which was somewhere around pro level. My friend who told me this doesn't lie or exaggerate, so I would have to believe him. Can anyone name a Mexican champion that played/plays great 1handed? Nobody knew the guy's name that I'm talking about.
freddy the beard said:Antonio (Aguzatate) Montalvo and "Little Miami" were two different players. Both played phenomenal 1handed pool. Miami personally told me he thought he could beat anybody alive playing 9 ball or rotation EXCEPT Aguzatate. There was another great Puerto Rican 1 handed player whom I did not know, but only heard of. His name was Chico from Puerto Rico. He was in Miami when I was there in the 60s but I never met him. He was rated as the best bumper pool player in the world. Anybody know anything about him?
(Artie beat Aguzatate playing 1handed 8 ball)

John, you are correct it was Little Sergio. He was called that because there was also another SergioThat played real good but not one handed. I saw Little Sergio beat Efren one handed for large cash in the 80's. They played nine ball. Races to 11.jrhendy said:"Little" Sergio was the best jacked up one handed 9 ball player around LA for years. He was even better with the big ball on a bar box. He has been living in Texas for years and the last time I saw him was at the BCA Tournament at the Riviera a few years ago. Ernesto Dominguez was also a great one handed player on the big table and beat one of the East Coast players out of a nice score several years ago playing 9 ball. John Henderson

Jimmy M. said:I remember that match. I think they called the guy Baltimore Something-err-rather. He was in Hard Times practicing (jacked up, of course) for days before the match. Ernesto has a pretty sporty jacked up break.
TWOFORPOOL said:I saw Efren play Ronnie Allen about 18-20 years ago one handed in the air. They played 15 ball rotation for 1,300.00 per game. Efren actually broke one handed in the air and ran out thru the 11 ball to win the game. I wondered why I even played the game!
