    Yes back in 2016. I've lost like 20 or 30 pounds since then and packed on some muscle. Keto works.

      I sat next to Roger “The Dodger” Leonard at a fight. He was awesome. I didn’t want to bother him, but he was more than accommodating and friendly, open to talking. Let me try on Rays championship ring. It was such a pleasure. I didn’t bring up Ray once lol. I’m sure anyone who has ever sat beside him had the same experience. Class act. I took a pic with Chop Chop Corley also. I’m sure sum guys are great and sum aren’t. It’s funny though, if ur a hardcore fan, almost every fighter has sum of ur money.

        I ran into Tim Bradley at Turning Stone when he was doing a broadcast there. Unironically his bald head stands out in a crowd plus he's smaller then you think he is.

            Funny story I met cotto after the weigh in and he looked like a skeleton at 140 and then at the hotel I was staying at I ran into Abdullaev in the elevator. Wish them both good luck.

            I’ve met so many fighters in my life, to me as much crap boxing gets....the fighters are really fan friendly and love when they speak with a fan that knows the sport.

            Most notable stories

            Ricardo Mayorga smoked almost half of my brother Newport cigarettes in a local miami card at miccosukkee casino. We told him that we were at MSG live to see Trinidad vs him and I ask why he let Tito unload 4 left hooks when he exposed his chin on purpose and he laughed and said “I was in the moment and I wanted to show the public he couldn’t hurt me” 160 was too much for him.

            Met Kassim Ouma and he was cool and we went to play blackjack after a local card. Nobody knew who he was and we made good $$. Very nice humble guy

            Partied with a bunch of PBC fighters and personalities at a Miami strip club and it was a blast after a card in Miami.

            Funniest one was I met Kendall Holt in Colombia and I translated for him when he gave a interview for the local paper in Barranquilla when he fought Ricardo Torres. He gave me tickets press row tickets, nobody will remember this fight but Holt was dominating Torres until Torres stopped Holt in the 11th round nothing but beer cans, whiskey bottles and beer bottles were thrown in the ring. It was nuts, I saw him afterwards and he wanted to go back to jersey ASAP.

            I got so many stories not to brag and people would say I was lying. Hopkins bought my family dinner in some NYC diner after Tito-Mayorga. I hated Hopkins after he derailed the Tito train but when i met he was a cool cat. Paid our tab which was about $100, stand up guy
