    maybe 3,000 - mostly freebies - but they only charged 10 to 50 bucks.

    The Hawaiian usher from the T&M at UNLV did well, he was the first fight and pretty much won every round and dropped the guy with a body shot. He came out to the "Win with the Rebels" - so of course that gets a mention.

    There was a fight with some Ukranian black kid, Ishmael something - this guy was damn good. Another KTFO, I think it was his pro debut.

    The first ESPN fight was OK - but the Colombian kid got rooked. He won almost every round of the 8 rounder - one judge had it 79 - 73. The other two morons judged it 76 all, so it was a majority dec Draw. The crowd was pissed with that one.

    The Gamboa KO was on ESPN highlights of course. That kid had some heart going toe to toe - but I knew he was dead meat when he entered the ring. The kid took the fight on 3 days notice.

    Talked to Gamboa's handlers after the fight and they are going to have another fight in Primm within the next 6 weeks. There were a couple hundred Cubans there all going nuts. I was going to get a picture with him afterwards, but Alex was lagging so it didn't happen. That guy is tiny - looked like I could throw him twenty feet, but he has unbelievable speed and power.
