    I met Zab Judah in the Sands Casino after the Gatti/Baldomir fight. I would really like to meet Gatti someday.

      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,

                  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.
