just got back from the fight. I sat near Nonito Donaire the whole time without even knowing it. Went over afterwards to shake his hand. We talked a bit, says nothing is planned. I asked him if he's gonna fight Darchinyan, told me he doesn't know. Very cool cat. Man, Ward is like Hatton, a clincher mauler type. I dunno what happened to Greene. Oakland is a tough town. Only in Oakland do they boo the ring girls for being so skanky. Some modeling company outta Modesto brought the women in. How bad is the California Athletic Commission? They didn't know the whereabouts for 2 fighters in the rubbermatches after the main event. The announcers asked over the PA system. "Will Boxer X and Boxer Y, please report to the ringside to fight." My goodness. Wouldn't surprise me if they were both busy filling their hands with plaster of paris. There's some kid who fights outta Cincy Ohio. "Willie Nelson". The kid is a Paul Williams Clone but with a mean streak.
Willie Nelson is the undefeated kid who subbed in for Kendall Holt against Jesse Feliciano, right? So, I take it Jesse lost?
So that's who Holt was supposed to fight? Destroyed Feliciano in the 1st round. Only knockout and knockdown during the whole evening. Maybe I'm a little biased toward people who knock out their opponents. His corner was utter trash though. Talking **** to Jesse before the bell rang. Was Nelson fight televised?
I'm from Vegas and I'm definitely spoiled by all the good looking women and high class hookers. Some of the girls were so bad, I yelled "Give me some METH". but hey, i'd hit it.
I sat a couple rows in front of this drunk guy who relentlessly heckled Antonio Tarver for about 10 minutes. It was ****ed up, but still entertaining to the impatient fans like us waiting for the main event. Tarver, along with Gus Johnson and Al Bernstein, was doing some of the pre-fight analysis away from the ring. The guy kept saying over and over again **** like: "You suck Tarver" "You're a fluke" "When you were young you were mediocre at best, now you're old and you just suck". "You're not half the fighter Roy Jones was" "Bernard Hopkins beat the **** out of you" "Yeah you knocked out Roy Jones. My grandmother can knock out Roy Jones"
I missed that part. Only famous guys I saw was Tarver, Donaire and some guy named Leon Powe, plays for the bears?
his english is uhhh, way better than mine. His wife is pretty cute. I was afraid to give her eye contact for fear of busted face via flash.
donaire's english? he actually grew up in the states. Tried for the US olympic team but was beaten by brian viloria to take the slot
