Boxers you saw in person.

Oliver 'The Atomic Bull' McCall - frequented my gym
DeMarcus 'Chop Chop' Corley - saw as a guest at a fight


and just because I am broke, I missed out on seeing Jameel McCline fight some nobody and young up and coming prospect Joe Hanks this past Saturday.....I could kick myself for missing that!

I didn't even think of that. He fought in your neck of the woods recently huh ?

You should add Jameel on facebook, he's on my friends list. Nice guy and he posts often, just like Monte Barrett does.

Saw Gerry Penalosa once in the Elorde boxing gym back here in Manila. Classy guy. Unfortunately, didn't have my camera/cellphone with me so wasn't able to take pics and in the heat of the moment even forgot to ask for an autograph. I know.. how terribly stupid of me. I don't know, but for some reason I still think if manny pac and gerry penalosa were both there and I just had to pick one guy to meet it would have been Gerry. Weird.

Also met the grandsons of Gabriel "flash" Elorde (pro boxers but certainly nowhere near their gramp's level) several times on the restaurant I worked at which was beside the gym they own.

He did always seem like an ok guy, I wonder if he sparred at my gym while he was down here. 1 of the regulars at the gym Jonathan Haggler who just lost to Maruiz Wach was a sparring partner for Wladimir Klitschko in preparation for the Thompson and Chagaev fights. A guy I used to spar quite frequently with (Paul Jeanette) just lost a decision to BJ Flores. So by 2 degrees of separation I've fought some pretty decent guys

Met Chris Eubank on thr train from Victoria to wherever i was going, he was friendly enough but was with a mystery blonde so dont think he wanted to chat too much. He walked through my booth to get to his i was reading boxing monthly at the time it was my sis who said 'look who it is'

Duke Mckenzies kids went to school where my mum was a dinner lady so i got his autograph one day but i have met him at a couple of shows too.

I have met Wayne Alexander a few times. First time was at the Naz v Calvo show show, then I went to whsmith on my dinner break to get boxing news - couldnt find it so tapped the guy reading his and said 'where did ya find that' - it wa Alexander again lol. He's on my facebook and I have spoke to him a couple of times and sent him links to old interviews of his and I had a chat with him at the Burns v Katsidis show. (not stalking him honest lol)

By no degrees of seperation you have sparred a couple of pro fighters and that is admirable.

But, your still a Klithead.
