    Just got back from the Tua fight...

    OMG IT WAS AWESOME! I got a VIP badge that gave me unlimited access to the entire arena. I got Eliseo Castillo's manager to give me two passes for me and my brother by making my brother my photographer. So first I greeted Tua, who was mad cool as always. I made him promise a knockout and he said "He'll just try to have fun." Then I was chilling with Shannon Briggs, who I couldnt believe remembered me. After that, I talked for a few mins with Aaron Pryor Jr, the son of my fave fighter of all time. I did the funniest interview with him, Im gonna post it later. Then I did a 30 minute interview with Harold Lederman, let me just tell you it was golden!

    After Tua ko'ed his opponent, Tua pointed out to me in press row and said "I told you so". That **** was ****ing cool, cuz Tua has been a fave of me and my brothers forever. After he left the ring, me and my brother took pics with him and Teddy Atlas, it was awesome. He gave me his cell and told us we're gonna chill. He told me I was cool peoples cuz I keep it real, that was one of the coolest ****s ever.
    Then I interviewed Emmanuel Steward. He got Andy Lee, his prospect, into the convo and we talked up a huge storm about him fighting fellow Irishman John Duddy. Then I consoled Eliseo Castillo who had just been stopped.

    LOL, I saw the Boxing Scene doo interviewing John Duddy on camera. He had the same camera I have, a camcorder! LMAO1!!! That was funny though, hes cool people.

        I was thinking the same thing, marvdave. Also that bit about Castillo's manager badmouthing him could spoil access.

        Sounds cool Asian Sensation. Post some pictures.

          LOL, good thinking. I got autographs from Winky Wright, Paulie Malignaggi, Manny Steward, Harold Lederman, DMC from Run DMC, Teddy Atlas, Joe Tessitore, and Tua.

          OMG, I was having mad fun chilling with DMC. We were talking about his new album and Jam Master Jay and he gave me his email and told us to keep in touch. We got to talk hip hop with DMC! That **** was awesome!

                  Oh yeah, Tua isn't just one of the nicest fighters, he was one of the nicest people I ever met. He remembered me from the press con and was really nice to me and my brother. He gave me an exclusive interview and promised to chill with me and my brother. He was so nice and gave me a hug after the fight. The coolest was when Tua shouted out to me in the ring after the KO. I cant wait till he shouts me out after winning the heavyweight title.
