If you were able ta go ta one of the autograph tables, which one would it be? Which fighter wouldya like ta take a picture with?
That looks like a great weekend for a boxing fan. One of these days, I'm going to make a three day trip to Vegas and take in all that comes with fight week. I'd head right to "Little Red" Lopez. He was one of my dad's favorite fighters. Lopez doesn't know it, but he is a part of the sport my dad passed down to me. As you I get older, I appreciate those things more and more.
