I was at the Barrera vs. Juarez II - L.A. Press Conference (9-12-06)

[Cortez The Killer]

are those sunglasses your trademark

yes.

when working for my former employer i had to work with USHER and he was wearing these pimp DIOR shades and i was like yo are those GUCCI? he was like naw its DIOR man he told me he copped them from Rodeo Drive. so i bit his assss went to RODEO the next day and copped the same pimp DIOR aviators and have been wearing them ever since hahaa. what kind of shades u rockin bro?

Are the Diors that you talkin' bout grey? I seen some but they were grey aviators not sure if your talkin' bout those.
These that you see here are D&G, the ones I'm wearing in the other pics. with Tony, Cotto are Kenneth Cole.

haha i used to rock D&G's for like the past 3yrs till last time i went clubbin in hollywood and they fell off me while i was grinind some hizzzo on the dance floor. they had huge D&G inprinted on the side. i miss those. hey listen us talk: D&G, DIORS etc u know we some real LA METROSEXUALS haaha the rest of the country and everyone else probably like WTF these two men discussing high end fashion on a boxing website. hell yeah KEEPIN it REAAAAAAAAAAAAAL hahaha

And IMO ODLH brought that in to the sport of boxing. He was a model for a few ads., he designed a short line of suits.
He brought glam to the sport. Which IMO is good for the sport.

I keep mine real all the time what you see is what you get I'am who I'am all the time sun, rain or shine.

Thats why this board is the best we are who we are and in the world of boxing chat we can all come together and dish it out.

Hahaha, look at you guys gettin off topic talking about Dior, Gucci... is that an upcoming bout or what? What were the name of those fighters again? Dior vs. Gucci?

CC to ya mick in another 24, been maxing out my cc's on ya lately! DLing the Carbajal VS. Gonzalez fight as I type. Props for outstyling ODLH there too man, looking sharp!

Im on the otherside of the coast..looks like Im missing out on all the action. At least I don't have to drop $300 for a pair of shades

[CutMeMick]

too funny dasaam......

Gucci vs. Dior that shit! was funny....

Yeah!! we steered left a little there, but its all in good fun.
I seeing a big move as far as boxing here in L.A. I mean its always been here but its out in the open more, like for the Peter-Toney fight I saw 2 billboards off of 2 different freeways and I mean the large ones not the small ones. At the press. conf. there was more media (KCAL 9, Fox, CBS, EPSN, Univision & Telemundo) usually you see 2 maybe 3 large networks today there was 6.

I know what you mean about not paying $300 for glasses my girlfriend bought me mine.

[TheBESTP4P]

Fine ill take it from here hahahaa.......GUCCI VS DIOR hmmmmmmmmmm

Gucci makes some pimp ass: HATS, WATCHES(even tho mine was sent to NY for repair 2 times), Wallets, and of course women's purses.

Now Dior has the SHADES on LOCK DOWN!!!! when it comes to stunna baller SHADES DIOR is the TRUTH! Dior shades can make any ugly assssss man or women appear to be more attractive just by wearing them haahha. So in closing when i wear the DIOR shades the girls jock and ask what kind? how much? where can i buy?

When I wear my Gucci Hat the girls jock and ask how much? where can i buy. I bought the last Gucci Baseball Cap left on RODEO DRIVE. ill post a pic of it when i get back to the crib ahhaha. Hella girls just come up to me and ask me about my Gucci Hat whenever I wear it.

Thanks boozeboxer... But I get excited ANY time I'm meeting a celebrity that I admire. In this case a boxer that I admire cuz 1st and foremost I'm a hadrcore boxing fan so when I was talking with ODLH I was shaking in my shades, same thing with Barrera I'll always be a fan of the sport 1st. I've been around ODLH at his Youth Center & other press. conf. but even then when your talking to him or standing next to the sports ONLY 6 Div. Champ. you cant help it but shake, rattle & roll.

[boozeboxer]

Yeah I understand man. I would love to be around the action like that. ODLH is a class act I believe. Hey what did Rocky's shirt say?? C/

[El Gamo]

CC Mick,you are the fooking man! Pictures with Margarito,Cotto,now Oscar Rocky aaaaaaand MAB?!! yOU LUCKY DUDE! Did you talk to them? You being serious about MAB being weight drained? Loving the shades and hat bro

[BIG H]

CC CMM - nice photos mate.

For the record, I think Rocky wins a UD in this one - Father time has got to catch up with MAB eventually, and I think think this weekend will be the time.

[Howlin Mad Missy]

you're breaking my heart here H He does look a little aged.

[DaxxKahn]

CC for the pics...Predidictions?

Thanks DaxxKhan, I'd cc you back but I gotta wait 24 cuz I cc you for your article yesterday.

I'll be REAL honest with you I've seen Barrera a few times prior to a fight in conf. or what not for some reason he just looked drained (weight) he looked weak and hes getting old, when I was up close you could see it that there was something going on.


I would say making weight is a problem.

I thought he looked weak in their first fight IMO....He just didn't have the all out in him like in the past....He has been in a lot of big fights ....actuallly wars in his career....He's only 32 or just turned 33 I think....Maybe it's all catching up to him??....This may end up like the DLH/Chavez fight...Young warrior humbles old??...Either way I root for Marco...I hope he takes this one wins big and thinks abt retirement

Normally I would have disagreed but you guys are right,MAB is getting old and if EM loses,I doubt we will see him either,it would be the end of an era. I still MAB has it in him to win this one but this performance is VERY important because I think he knows that if he does not perform well,it could be the end and no way could he hang with Manny.
