first off, let me start off by saying congrats to martinez...he did what i oringally thought he was gonna do..move around and use his awkwardness for 12rds...i started leaning towards jr a bit cause of the way maravilla was taking, as if he was gonna mix it up with jr until he knocked him out (which we all know it probably would've ended for him if he did that).....jr proved he's a tough mutha****a once again...will he ever beat a slickster, probably not, then again...who else fights as awkward as sergio?...i mean, he almost had him out, but there were also another 11rds of that fight...11rds that i had given jr 2, maybe...mayyybe 3...either way, i think both moved up a notch... the hate for jr should really stop, the kid put up a great effort and never gave up....but most importantly, has now taken on the best middlweight out there...... as for the pics....ehhhh i didnt really take a whole bunch...i was pissed that the martinez vs jr weigh in was limited, and they had already ran outta tix when i showed up....a friend of mine is dating sarmiento, but i didnt wanna ask for no favors, so i just went to the MGM for the canelo weigh in....which turned out to be a lot of fun anyways....probably better then the jr one would've been....people at the wynn are just wayyyy toooo uptight for my liking......anyways, here are some flix... ponce...he looked very shock that a lot of people were asking him for pics....he was surprised as ****, and honestly looked very humbled by it....cool dude This content is protected soto karass.....didnt realize how huge this ****er is until i met him... This content is protected the ferocious one...he was impressed on how much i knew about his career...it wasn't the normal "omg vargas" type of thing that he usually gets....i approached him, shook his hand and told him how much i miss his fights...the pride he fought with...and that he still is the real youngest jr middleweight champ of all time...etc etc....we had a good mini convo...cool as **** too...my wife was about to snap the pic when she said....."ahh helll noooo, i wanna be in this one too" This content is protected gonzalez...pretty quiet, chill dude.... This content is protected with the wifey at the fight... This content is protected next pic is probably the most emotional one ever !!!! but at the same time classic..... i seen paul williams, and approached him with an "omg i'm sorry champ" type of attitude...and boy was i wrong....he was down to earth, happy and in good spirits....after talking for a while, i noticed the watson boys walking by and asked them to stand behind me for a pic This content is protected i have to say...out of all the fights i've been tooo...this was probably the rowdiest...loudest...craziest even ever....**** was ****en live and cracken !!!!! you'd be surprised how many mexicans were rooting for martinez.....crazy !!!!
Looks like a great trip. I'm glad you had a good time. One thing about boxing is that you can sometimes gain through defeat. Yeah, Jr. lost damn near every round, but he gained a lot of respect. I love the picture with Soto Karass. As a fellow SoCal guy, you know he has brought it every time out and always gives the fans their money's worth. His fight against Maidana was the fight of the night, IMO, and boxing could use more guys like him. Great pic with Paul Williams. I saw his interview with Showtime and was really impressed.
He wouldn't, cause he would've been beat the **** up soon after. Probably would've gotten his camera stolen for good measure. Internet tough guy **** doesn't work too well in the real world.
no..but i asked them wtf do they do, and even told them i was hating on them....both were just smiling and laughing it off....but they told me what they "really" do, and they are actually involved a lot......good ****
A picture with the Waston people behind you > Any picture with any boxer ever. But in all seriousness sounds like an awesome weekend.
What made you choose the GBP card instead of the Top Rank one? EDIT: Just read your OP. I guess your first choice would've been SM-JCCJr.
