A Trip With The Soundtraveler

That's some good stuff you got there SoundTraveler. It's great to see someone use thier creativity and post some thing worthy of reading. Man, you must have like the coolest job doing what you do! I Ain't gonna get into your personal biz, but I know you have got to be pulling in chicks from all over the place! Guess that's the icing on the cake, huh? But yeah, thanks for the scoop on all the inside stuff. BTW way, how old is that fighter (female), 18-2, that Ali's kid is afraid of?? And also, let us know when's her next showing.

Show of hands - how many of you guys recognized 'Traveler as the ring announcer on Shobox tonight?

Anything specific that you fight fans would like me to ask Zab? Any particular photos you would like me to get for the thread? Obviously, I won't bother a fighter on the day of the show, but will be chatting in the 2 days before the show. Also, keep all questions brief please! I will try to get as many of the "good" questions answered, but I will be letting Zab read your questions online here at Boxingscene, he can pick the questions out for himself.... Can you ask Zab what he thinks of the current slew of top fighters at WelterWeight? Does he think he should fight Baldomir again?

awesome thread. cant wait 4 your next show

ST - this is execllent, excellent stuff. Keep it up, plus the insider insights - it's fantastic having someone so close to the game here on the BB!!

Layla wasn't there for this fight, as far as Layla goes - she is O.K., sort of, but her husband - well he is another story, O.K. I'll say it the guy is an ass. I say this for a couple of reasons, as Christy Martin would tell you, he ripped down the banner of PrizeFight Boxing who was Co-Promoting the Ali vs Christy Martin fight during a press conf. because he didn't want anyone to know they had to have help puting on the show! The truth is he doesn't know beans about the biz himself, and is merely tagging on Layla's coat tails. Second, I was set to be the Ring Announcer for the fight, as Brian Young and Les Bonano used my services all the time, and I have worked with Christy's camp before, AND it was a LOCAL show for me, so they wouldn't have to pay for my travel. But just days before the event I get a call saying Layla's husband doesn't want me to do the duties - I am white and he wants to fly in his friend from D.C. who is black to work the show. Now, I didn't have too much of a problem with that, but I did have a problem with the fact that the guy had never even done any ring announcing before, that bothered me, THAT was INSULTING to me.... thanks for letting me know about this thread! Awesome stuff ;) You know, I've heard many similar tales about Laila's husband and "manager" (one and the same, right?) and alot of people believe he doesnt know what he's doing. It was wrong to pull you from announcing the fights just cause youre white! :eek: Must have been doing a buddy a favor, huh? :rolleyes: when is your next assignment? Keep us informed, ok

Gotta admit this one thread here is good for Boxingscene. Thanks Soundtraveler...keep it coming ;)

Dude, that was awesome. What an awesome job you have too. You mentioned that Lady Ali was there.... Did she refuse a picture with you? What did you think of Wolfe on a personal level? Do you ever get the chance to talk/have lunch or something with theses people? BTW, all the pics that lead up to it are very good to see. Keeping it real. Can't wait for your next card.
