Diane and I got a shout out from The Latin Snake
;D
Not really a big deal for you guys but for me it meant a little something, something ;D
Article:
BraggingRightsCorner.com - "MORA vs DE LA HOYA: WILL THE CONTENDER vs THE OLYMPIAN HAPPEN THIS YEAR?" ... by Ed Ludwig
Ok this is just the part where Diane and I get mentioned. You can read the rest of the article by clicking the link above ;D
BRC: Any final comments for your fans?
MORA: I have the “Snake Pit” it’s a forum at The Latin Snake Pit and I have the most loyal fans. It’s run by a nice lady, Diane, a fellow named Danny and a guy named Phat Carlos and I have to do something nice for the three of them. With the fallout from the Jermain Taylor fight, the cancellation of the Kassim Ouma fight and all the criticism and my various injuries, they were with me every step of the way. They are having fun and getting the most hits now and making Dan Rafael eat crow. I ran to Wal-Mart to get some thank you cards to send out to people that supported me and this older couple came up to me and knew who I was and it was great. And to those fans, you haven’t seen the best of me yet and to the haters and critics, if I haven’t changed your mind stay tuned because I will.
BRC: Once again Sergio I want to thank you for your time and I look forward to doing it again.
MORA: Thank you my man. It’s been usually the same questions in interviews but not from you. Thanks buddy.

Great stuff Danny it's must feel nice to get noticed by Sergio himself for all the effort you put into the forum.
Actually Sergio has a fanbase even in England. One of my customers flew over to Vegas with his girlfriend to watch the fight.
Now I have Kid Thunder in my clan I only hope the Baggins clan gets mentioned after his victory speech following the Zelenoff rematch, :)

Yes, I know he has a good fan base in the UK, we have a lot of members from there. The above pic is a mod on the site, his name is Jason, and him and his wife flew over from across the pond to see Sergio fight. I made arrangements in advance for Jason and his wife to meet up with Sergio. They ended up spending the whole weekend with Sergio, his team, friends, and family. They all had a great time together.

That's him! Jason Powell or boozyjay as I know him.
Nice guy, he told me he got to meet him and go to a back stage party.
What a small world :D
Rather annoyingly his order never arrived so I had to send them out again.
I felt like I really let him down as he ordered several to give out to his mates and for some reason they didn't get there.
Still I've sent out more to him now.
I can't believe you know him, how bizarre!
Re: Diane and I got a shout out from The Latin Snake
I was supposed to meet Sergio too, but my girl was cranky and I got fed up and left the Casino:-\
Diane tried though;)

LOL!!! It is a small world, I can't believe you know him as well, and yeah, he goes by boozyjay on the forum. From my understanding he lived up to that name, on the day of the weigh-in he started drinking at 10:00 am with Sergio's friends and family, and they were all lit up before the weigh-in, and then they continued after the weigh-in until 3:00 in the morning.
He's a great guy, and I'm so glad that he got to spend time with Sergio, and the rest of the guys. Sergio made sure that he had a great weekend, and he even gave him a hand written note at the weigh-in thanking him for all his support.
You'll have to ask him to email you all the pics he took. He also got to hang out with Vernon, Paul Williams, Elvin Ayala and Buddy McGirt.

It's true, I had gotten his name to Sergio, his friends, and family to welcome JT to the party afterwards, but unfortunately they were unable to go.
You know if you ever get the chance to go to one of his fights again, I will make sure that I get you the hookup, you just have to convince your girl. ;) ;D
Re: Diane and I got a shout out from The Latin Snake
LOL I have so much material to work with with this post, but I'll refrain from bashing Mora. He didn't act like such a dick after the fight and actually handled himself better this last fight.

Trust me he is not a dick!!!
He's one of the nicest guys you'll ever meet.
As far as his actions after the Ayala fight, he was pissed at himself, not at the outcome. He just reacted to his performance, and if you would have seen the video of the post fight press conference, you would have seen him apologize for his behavior.
Haven't you ever played a competitive sport, and get pissed at yourself for not performing well. I know I have, and I am a real biatch when I get that way. I am very competitive, and I hate to lose. Just ask Danny how mad I get sometimes when I lose, especially the day he was cheating on Scrabble. I was getting so pissed off, I was swearing, and bitchin, Danny said he had to mute his mic once in awhile, because he didn't want me to hear him laughing at me.
So, he had a moment of bad behavior, so what, we all do at some point.
Re: Diane and I got a shout out from The Latin Snake
Alaya incident aside he's always come across as a nice guy to me.
Re: Diane and I got a shout out from The Latin Snake
That is damn cool. It is great to know you are appreciated and you can genuinely see it in his shout out.

LOL Look who you are talking to Diane.
Don't you remember NO CONTEST behavior after he lost his sigi bet to gyrokai? Do you remember how he was pouting and shouting and trying to change rules because I was going to provide the sigi?
Do you remember? LMAO! NO CONTEST was crying like a bitch. He has no room to talk. ;D
Hence his or her nick name. NO CONTEST. He can't phuk with us.
:cool:
