Photos from my trip to see Morales vs Pacquiao

So where did you stay at Bozo?

I stayed at a little motel called America's best Value Inn and suites.

It was literally right across the steet from the MGM Grand.

hmm

That's kewl. Smart. I might do something like that for the Tarver-Johnson fight. You going to that? It's in Memphis.

No, I want to head back to Vegas for a big fight in November.

Tight-ass pics. Must have been fun as hell. I'm gonna try to go to Vegas and see a big fight soon if I can save some money.

wot did ishe smith have to say for himself? was he as arrogant as he appears in the contender?

That's insane, sounds like alot of fun. I wish I would have taken your advice when I went to the Garden to see Golota-Ruiz. My dad made the scale for the weigh in so he got to meet all the fighters and got an autograph from Don King, and 4 free tickets to the fight. We saw Don King before the Mccall fight too, not really up close, but nobody was there but a few people, and DK was there talking to people, it was pretty cool.

Not a lot, he had his kid with him.

He was pretty easy going and signed my program and chatted a bit. Seemed like an okay guy.

Thanks for sharing your experience Bozo. It sounds cool as hell. From your story I'm def going to make it a point to get to a fight in Vegas soon.

I can't believe you got to say the phrase to Nady too. I would've fell on the floor if I saw that. Props.

I went to Vegas for my 21'st birthday, and BY FAR the highlight of the trip was the Pacquiao/Morales fight, not only was it my first time to Vegas and my first big fight- but it was my first time seeing a fight in person period! I am absolutely hooked now, I can't wait to get back to Sin City again and catch another bout.

Also, for people who can't make the trip all the way out to Nevada- if you are close to upstate New York you should make the trip to Canastota for induction weekend at the hall of fame. Alot of fighters and boxing personalities are there, there are fights at Turning Stone in Verona, and you can pretty much spend money only one board and like thirty bucks for a ticket to the fights. I met Winky, Mesi, Tarver, McGirt, Ken Norton, Mickey Ward and others there last year! It was fun and cheap!

Now that I've gone, I'm hooked.

Its such a great experience because the few days leading up to the fight everyone in and around the venue wants to talk about the fights. I met a ton of Mexican and Pinoy fans who were so friendly and eagre to talk about boxing. Plus all the fighters and boxing people hanging around.

I have so many stories about meeting different boxing people. I'll try and drop a new story every now and then.

I will try and get back to see a fight sometime in Nov - Feb later this year / early next year. Just need to pick a fight I really want to see.

Damn I envy you man. That Pac-Erik fight was for the ages and a rematch may never happen. So all those who were fortunate enough to see them slug it out are sooooo lucky!

Anyway, I heard that inspite of all the trash-talking between the Pinoy & mexicans in the internet forums, they were basically civilized during the fight and were shouting only because they were madly supporting their respective countrymen. Your thoughts ?, being one of those who saw the fight live...
