So all the non televised undercard fights finished around 9:15PM so my boy and I left our seats, got another brewski and were walkin around, chillin, lookin at some honeys, waiting for the time to pass. So I'm talkin to him and then i see this dude in a long sleeve black shirt walking my way.

At first, I was thinkin "damn, this guy looks familiar......." he gets closer and it's Andre Dirrell LOL

I hesitated to say something at first but I was like "hey Andre! whats up man? hows it going"

he was like "whats up man, im doing good - just enjoyin the night"

he said more but i forgot, i feel ****** cuz i felt star struck even though he isnt a huge star or anything. Unfortunately (like a ****head) i forgot to even ask him if i could take a picture with him.

i'm kicking myself in the ass

haha cool. Yer, you should have got a picture but cool you met him anyway. I don't get to meet many boxers in my line of work...

I've only ever spoke to one pro boxer.

A bloke called Jason Hall, who fought the mighty Bradley Pryce (Calzaghe stablemate)

That should impress you all.

Be happy with Dirrell, I'd be starstruck to, lol.

LOL, that's very impressive. that basically means you met Calzaghe.

I was thinkin about it and I'm happy this happened with Dirrell. Now i know to remember to ask for a pic if i ever meet another boxer. I would've killed myself if i would've met Jones or Cotto (or someone of that caliber) and forgotten to ask for a pic.

I've met both DLH and Tito in Chicago when they were promoting the fight. Tito is very cool and friendly, DLH is a ****, he didnt sign my shirt.

DLH seems (keyword: SEEMS) like he's really a **** but puts on the good guy persona for the media. I dont kno why but thats how i feel.

Ive heard Tito loves the attention and is always happy to take pictures and sign autographs.

My Grandmother claims we might be related to Calzaghe's mother. but if you go through it, it really is 6 degrees of separation and not at all impressive, at all.

I'm happy with Jason Hall, he'd kill Calzaghe anyway.

I grew up in the same area as David Haye. I only spoke to him once outside a Coral in South Bermondsey. Used to see him about the place before he made it big, he rarely comes round these ends anymore. Can't blame him.

Yea that's exactly how I feel about DLH. Tito is a cool guy and surprisingly, so is Don King.

I was once in Bermondsey,

I missed my stop, when I was going to New Cross.

I was there for an hour. It was cold.
