Wow, let me tell you any fight fan would enjoy themselevs here. I only went for the opening day (June 9) while the events last till Sunday the 12th, but I had a great time. Got to meet a lot of great fighters too.

I met Terry Norris who signed my program. Talked a bit of boxing w/ Bert Sugar himself reguarding Max Baer, then Bert also signed my program. I then met Alexis Arguello a good man who also signed my program. After meeting Arguello I met a former opponet of his "Schoolboy" Bobby Chacon who graciously signed my program. But it saddened me to see the state Chacon is in today.

Then for the finally I got to meet the Clones Cyclone himself Barry McGuigan, who signed my program and who I got a picture taken w/. But the reason I drove 3 hours was to meet Micky Ward, who sure enough Thank God showed up. We talked a bit on Gatti and other things then he signed a 8x10 for me and took a picture w/ me. I also talked a bit on the Red Sox w/ Mickey's half brother and trainer Dickey Eckglund who also signed the photo for me.

All in all an awesome time, I recommend all fight fans and sports fans alike to go. Also I'll try to post the pictures w/ Mickey Ward and Barry McGuigan as soon as I can
