1st things 1st.
I wasn't gonna post anything but after last nights fight.
I feel like I should.
So last Friday I was at the press conf. for the Alvarez-Hatton fight.
Got there pretty early as you guys know I'm not media or anything like that.
I've been approached by several people and offered work but I just feel that if it becomes work it'll lose something for me. That and I don't have the time. Anyway.
Upon walking into the place you could have sworn Ali, Duran, SRL, Emile, Ortiz, Hagler, Hearns and with all due respect and just for the sake of proving my point they had dug up SRR's body out.
Security allover the place. I almost thought is Obama here?
I mean ridiculous. I've been to other press conf. smaller than this one and much bigger than this one (PBF vs. ODLH was outside the Chinese Theatre I would easily guess 200/300 people).
I can usually talk my way or get my way past security and blend in with the crowd.
Every attempt I made was useless.
Immidiately after the conf. Alvarez was escorted by 5 security guards with an all black Escalade waiting for him he sped walked out and jumped right in and was on his way.
I shit you not there was literally 4/5 fans standing there I looked around and was like why all the comotion and security?
I raised my voice and said "Come on... Really. The kids good and def. has talent but come on. He is not a superstar yet."
Someone from his management team spoke up and said "We'll see."
"I said look I'm not wishing anything bad, I'm a fan that's why I'm here. But come on when your best opposition is Baldomir & N'dou and your running out from side doors with 5 security guards that's a bit too much IMO. The kids good and he's got the tools but at this point he's yet to really be tested."
At that point I turned around started talking to some people there.
Anyway I just have to say that it seems like hype has gone to the next level with this kid now, GBP def. has all to do with this. Can't blame Alvarez for this but he should have a say in it. I think it's best to keep boxers grounded all this Hollywood shit that I saw for a kid who IMO was handed a belt is setting him up for a big fall.
All the while every single other boxer walked out normally I mean every single one including Ricky.
On to Zab now, if my calculations are right this is the 3rd fucken time the IBF has literally handed a belt to Zab. WTF is up with that?
Fuck Zab for life!!!! Can't stand his bitch ass. Fight Cotto again so he can spark you the FUCK OUT!!!
I don't give a flying fuck if he beat Matthysse in a eliminator.
