      The Blade was utterly smitten!



      The wife also got a kiss on the cheek from Bert Sugar when I introduced her to him.

      Her charms didn't work on George Foremen though when I sent her on an autograph seeking mission during the Saturday night Banquet of Champions. Big George refused to sign his All-World boxing card on the grounds that it was a "bootleg."

            Well you can still have fun at the grounds on Saturday. Sergio Martinez workout and a few lectures. The card show and Grazis as well.
            You could probably pay at the gate for the BBQ, doubt they turn away $85 and its not like banquet and fiesta with limited seating.

              You can probably pay at the door for the the Saturday boxing memorabilia show as well.

              Also, in 2003, we didn't have tickets for the Banquet of Champions but somebody in line with us at the VIP ****tail Reception offered us two tickets for cheap money because they suddenly could not go, so we bought them on the spot for like half face value.

              Never know what's gonna happen...

                  I'm kinda jealous, I'd like to be going for the first time again.

                  I remember in summer of 1997, I was just milling around the grounds and there by the entrance of the main building was Edwin Rosario just standing there by himself. I knew a bit of Spanish so I decided I would greet him in Espanol as I walked by...

                  "Como esta Edwin?"

                  He said, "Muy bien, y tu?"

                  "Bueno Edwin, muy bueno! Gracias!"

                  He died not long after that.
