    Lupe Pintor visiting Johnny Owens father in Wales to honor his son, and keeping in touch. Extreme, I know, but this was great man in a terrible situation, showing class and heart all the way.

    Julio Cesar Chavez asked Greg Haugen "Do you still think I only fight Cab Drivers from Tijuana?" Haugen replied " They must have been some pretty tough cab drivers" Chavez laughed hard and kissed him on the cheek. = priceless
