    Visited the great Tito yesterday where he invited me to his mother’s house. It’s the home he grew up in and purchased the land around it. I’ve said it before but I can’t believe how humble and down to earth this man is. He’s in a class of his own in that regard and is such a happy person. I had this statue custom made and surprised him as a gift. I posted the video here on Instagram.

    I’m very happy for him. You can tell he was raised right and a mutual friend who’s known him for years said he became even more humble when he got rich and famous.

    Don't know him personally, but in all the fights and interviews
    I've seen of him, he always seemed to be a genuine good man.
    But was all business in the ring.

    I’ll be seeing some more in the coming days here in Puerto Rico. Gomez being one that looks like it will happen, Escalera, Molina, LaPorte too and maybe Subriel Matias.

    I remember when you brought up the unprofessionalism Gomez showed when you tried to see him. Hopefully that won't be the case this time.

    Keep us posted on your visits with these guys. Would love to hear about your time with them.
