WBC at it again (Stevenson-Jack for Diamant belt)

No problem. Diamante is a fascinating character.

From an article about the great man

'Diamante is tall and slender with a gaunt face, aquiline nose, and piercing blue eyes. His voice is a gift and he uses it well. The tip-off that something is very different about him is his hair; dreadlocks that extend well below his waist and, unbraided, would reach to the floor. He started growing them in 1988 and hasn’t cut them since, although he acknowledges, “The longer ones break off from time to time.”

“I’m not a stupid guy,” Diamante says. “I know I could cut my hair and make more money. But I’m not motivated by money and, right now, I like my hair the way it is. Maybe I’ll wake up one morning and cut it because I want to. I’m a different kind of guy.”

Adding to the self-description, Diamante explains, “I’m multi-layered. I see a lot of different sides on each issue. I love life. I’m spiritual. I’m a dreamer. I’m a rebel. I swim upstream. There’s a fire that burns inside me. I love breaking the mold. My life has been an incredible journey. I’m into adventure and other cultures. I love traveling. I’ve been to dozens of countries all over the world. I like motorcycles. I’m into cigars. I live on the edge. I’m a perfectionist. If I’m going to do something, I want to do it well.”

 

Me too. I always do. Unless it's Ward vs Gatti I or Morales vs Barrera I, Diamante on the mic announcing the fight is always the highlight of the night for me.

I have this pic in a 32 x 40 inch frame hanging on my bathroom wall.
