So...I met Devon Alexander this weekend in Orlando!
I took my wife to Orlando this weekend to celebrate her birthday at the Loews Royal Pacific hotel in Universal Studios. On our boat trip back to the hotel after going into Island of Adventure in the afternoon I happen to look a few seats across from us and there he was, Devon Alexander "The Great" with his wife and kids, trainer Kevin and a few family members.
At first I wasn't too sure cuz he was looking to the side but then I saw his trainer Kevin wearing a St Loo Cardinals hat and then I was like "holy **** that's Devon Alexander..." I panicked a little bit and yelled out at him "Yo Champ!" and did a fist, he looked back smiled, then I made a gesture with my hands as to take a picture after the boat ride ended and he nodded.
As soon as we all got off the boat I waited for him, shook his hand and apologized for disturbing his vacation, he told me no problem, it didn't bother him at all. I told him I was a huge fan and I was a bit starstruck, he was all smiles and even his wife was laughing at that comment I made. So my wife took the picture, I thanked him and told him last week was a hell of a fight, he shook my hand and as he walked away I said "Champ, we got Bradley next right?" he smiled back and gave me a thumbs up.
Awesome, awesome guy, a straight shooter and hell of a nice dude, definitely in my top 5 favorite boxers right now, here's the pic for proof.
