    Jamel Herring is a vet too. I've managed to talk to him on boxing scene before. He's a cool guy.

    I went to Marine boot camp shortly after Bowe dropped out. He only stayed 72 hours i believe, but if you look closely he has the Eagle Globe and Anchor tattoo on his forearm.
    My mom.used to send me KO magazine, so everyone knew I was a boxing fan. The DIs used to give me sh!t about Bowe
