A friend of mine has met Tyson, Leonard, and others.
Me, I haven't met one fighter.
Who you guys gotten a chance to meet and talk to?
Any interesting story's?
I have met Davey and Matthew Hilton.. they came to my High school as part of Fitness awarness day(I am sure it was a comminity service order :lol1: )
And I met Stephane Oulette in Magog Que at bar called La Grosse Pomme.. which burned down a few years ago.. But I dated the owners daughter..
This past Saturday at the Home Depot Center I met Morales, Margarito, Vince Phillips, Julio and Antonio Diaz, Martin Castillo, Nick Diaz, and Gina Carano. In the past I've met Fernando Vargas, Jorge Paez, and Tito Ortiz.
Famous? Tito, Calderon, Cotto, Camacho, Bazooka, Daniel Santos, Margarito, Mantecas Medina, Jose Cotto, Nelson Dieppa, Hugo Cazares... some others I forget. Not so famous Chino Cardona, Wilfredo Rivera, Jonathan Oquendo, Roman Martinez, Omar Soto,... others I forget.
I've met Tito and Ivan Calderon, saw them both at shopping malls. Got an autograph from Tito and a picture with Calderon, both very nice guys. Tito's really friendly to everyone, loud, outgoing, loves the attention. Ivan is much more laid-back, very courteous and a nice guy. Also, this saturday at the Cotto fight I saw Macho Camacho walking by. I yelled MACHO, and he came up to me and shook my hand.
Just give us some of the better encounters, Squabbs.
More than one of you can.
You too Dyna.
Dynamite actually got mentioned in a BoxingScene article as an encounter.
oh my god, I live in Las Vegas and have gone to lots of fights. I have literally seen thousands and thousands of fighters from both boxing and MMA. I run into them all the time and to top it off I work at the airport here in Vegas, there is no way I can put all the people Ive seen down,
