what pro fighter have you met?

[BuddyChacon]

Thats good, 26 fights is a descent #. Enough to know that you can handle yourself fine. Is that Alabama you were from?

Yeah we only have like four gyms near where I live. They are about 1 million people in the metro area. Largest in Alabama. The city I live in is 80 percent black so I went to the all black gym in a bad section of town and was always getting tested.

Thats how you learn to fight hard. Most kids in the suburbs learn to box. The kids in the inner cities learn to fight.

I used to train at predominately black gyms and i know what you mean by "getting tested". My trainer was black and everytime we'd walk into these Detroit gyms he would slam open the door and yell, "I gotta lil whiteboy here sez hes gonna kick all yo all asses.... who's first!" Thats the truth and I always found myself throwin' down.

I used to train with Danny Williams when he was around 15 16 at Brixton boxing club above the Half Moon pub. Danny is a really nice guy. At the gym I sparred with Adrian Carew later Dodson just after he got Olympic Bronze medal. He is the only pro boxer I have met that I did not like. I caught him in sparring and he went all out mental on me and nearly KOd me. He was a piss taker taking real advantage of sparing partners well below his standard.
I nearly got into a row with Rocky Kelly in a Fulham cafe. I was looking at him trying to place him and he got fed up with me staring at me and got pissed off ,stood up and confronted me. Luckily I just remembered his name and he went from agressive mode to smiling once he found he had been remembered and recognised. I think he was working as a labourer at the time.
At the Pea**** gym I got to know several of the fighters,Eric Teymour,Gary Delaney,and Akash Bhatia.
I met John Conteh when caddying for a friend at 1st stage European Tour school at Chart Hills. The guy I was caddying for was playing with John's son James and Conteh was following the group.
