    Default Boxers you saw in person.

    I had juan urango visist my gym, ill tell you the guy is not small, but he jumps rope like robocop. On another occasion i david estrada came to our gym with his posse, and i had to spar one of his friends(who is actually on bangbros for those who know what that is) and whose ass i kicked. Also had timur and sultan ibragimov at my house. Nothing special but its worth a story, id love to hear yours

    What the hell is bangbros?

    Beside, how come Sultan and Timur came to your house? How are they?

    I never met many boxers in person, unfortunately. Beside Eric Lucas and Joachim Alcine (Alcine in Montreal and Lucas during the Beyer Clash in Lepizig) and it was just briefly. Guys like Cutmemick have met a lot and could tell you a lot, oidem for Pride of Boston but he's not much around by these days.

    I've seen:

    Antonio Tarver broadcasting at the Ward vs. Bika match
    Ward
    Bika

    The rest were at the boxing world cup Phillipines vs. Mexico in Sacramento, CA in 2007
    Gerry Penalosa
    Jhonny Gonzales
    Ray Bautista
    Daniel Ponce De Leon
    Lennox Lewis
    Oscar De La Hoya
    Juan Manuel Marquez
    Raul Marquez
    Michael Katsidis

    I was ringside so I was able to pat Ponce De Leon on the back as he made his way to the ring, only fighters I met that night were Z Gorres and a few other Filipinos who fought on the card.

    Stood right next to Katsidis like 3 feet from him for a while and didn't even know it was him...
    "You knocked him down...now how bout you try knockin me down ?"

    I met Roy jones jr in Brighton and have got my picture with him.
    That was about a year ago.
    I have met chris eubank sr and had lunch with him as there were no tables left and he asked to join our table and in return we got a picture, his shoes were like mirrors.

    Quintana, Cotto, Tarver, Calderon, Juanma, Trinidad, Jose Pedraza, and the Arroyo Brothers

    all the local guys I've seen at small event cards on the island besides Quintana who I met in Moca cause I sporadically work out at the gym he would usually go to, I met him when he was training for his comeback fight after his KO loss to Williams, Tarver I saw at Disney hahaha

    When I was 15 i was suppose to have a fight at the adelphi hotel in Liverpool. David Price was the special guest on the show he was still an amatuer at this point though. I remember him being a really nice lad who gave me a lot of sound boxing advice it was good to hear at my age. The fight never went through that night for me because I wasn't at the right weight.

    I fought the same lad 2 weeks later on a different card at the dockers club in Liverpool...it was an absoutle shit hole and I got robbed on points. The club who put on the show their lads won every single one of the fights that they put on, was a joke.

    I bet no one messed with you with this crowd.
    Do not let success go to your head and do not let failure get to your heart.
