My interaction with Brandon Rios today

[Hitman18]

I went and met Bam Bam, Israel Vasquez, Mikey Garcia, Joseph Diaz, and Steven Luevano. All really nice guys. Got to talk to my idol Vasquez for about 5 minutes and he is very down to earth.

Anyways, I had unfortunately brought black gloves and realized there was no where for them to really autograph on the black gloves with black sharpie. So they signed on the little gray part on the cuff links. When I finally got to Brandon he pulled out a big silver sharpie and signed big. Then he took a look and saw how small the others autographs were and said "you need better autographs. Hold on, Ay Mikey! Sign this glove again with the silver sharpie," then Mikey and Joseph signed big and Brandon gave me the glove back. Just as that happened Vasquez sat down next to Mikey and it was time for me to move on and leave as there was a big line. I asked Robert Garcia if there was any way for me to go a little backwards in line to get to Vasquez and Garcia told me to just go behind the table. Brandon saw this and said "Ya man just come back here," And he got up and moved so i could get next to El Magnifico and he signed. He was really friendly and personable with everyone. I was really impressed at how nice he was. I dont know if many other celebs or athletes would go out of their way for a fan. Just thought you guys should know how cool he was with me. Ill be rooting for him. BAM BAM

I don't like Rios, but that was pretty cool.

People don't like him when he's talking boxing or stuff like that, but I know he's a really cool person. Ernest can attest to that.
I almost got to meet him at NYC once, but couldn't go

Just became a bigger fan of Bam Bam.

Glad to know you had a nice experience, man. Too often we only read about some of these guys letting people down. It's great to see them get credit for being "real".

It has also been posted here that he spends alot of his time in charity helping kids with cancer. He seems like a pretty nice guy though, hes definitely a character
