    Great stuff. I could of met adamek when he was signing locally but I wasn't
    interested nothing against adamek. Can't believe no autograph burt. So
    no crazy bar fights where you and and a classic boxer mop up the floor with everyone.
    what gym did you box where bowe and grant boxed? Gleasons?
