My wife got me ringside seats again. Vernon Forrest is fighting Elco Garcia in the Main Event.

Not sure who Elco Garcia is, but I know who Vernon Forrest is! Hector Camacho Jr. is on the undercard too. Should be a fun friday night.

Can you smoke cigars there? X

you dirty rat. that would rock. how does she get them? that stuff's expensive.

X - I know that there is smoking in the casino, but I am not sure if you can smoke at the actual boxing venue in the grand ballroom.

lofty1 - it's not as 'cool' as you think. She has a rewards club membership and she had to lose a lot of money there to earn all those "rewards". The up side is, they send us gift certificates for the restaurants there monthly and she just hands over her card and the box office hands over tickets. Eventually, her points will run out.

ah.

Soooooo. (Hey Lofty!)

Color me green, MACS. Two GREAT fighters!

I remember Vernon Forrest when he dismantled Sugar Shane Moseley TWICE!!! Mayorga then dismantled Vernon twice... but that's styles for you.

Never liked Camacho even though he was an excellent fighter.

He had a big mouth & he ducked most of the great fighters in his weight class.

Finally took on an over- the- hill Sugar Ray Leonard and embarrassed him with power punches that I never knew he had and speed.

Too bad- I always like Sugar Ray, especially after the "No Mas" fight with Duran.

There's no doubt you'll have fun.

hey, bloody.

Well... if you was here she'd have got me 2 tickets.

I'm flyin' solo cuzz momma don't like pugilism.

I'm gonna take a stick or two to this thing. Not sure if I can smoke in the boxing arena, but the casino allows it.

They got a sweet couple of clubs too, but you gotta dress nice to get in. Maybe i'll wear a suit to this thing? I'll be ringside and people might think i'm a big shot? LMAO!

Have fun. You deserve it (so does your wife)! LOL

very nice.

I can't stand driving in Pachcanga.

^

yeah that part sucks, so did that game...

Shawn, where's Pachanga? P.I.???

^^^ In Temecula, CA.

Macs, that sounds like a good time, how did it go?

Yeah, CW... what 03screw said. It's in Temecula, CA. It is a "Resort and Casino" about 4 miles from my house that started out as 3 trailers and some slot machines. Now it looks like any other Casino in Vegas... hotels, pools, bars, night clubs, restaurants, concerts, sports...

A wing of the hotel is named after my wife... but that's another story! (j/k)

The boxing was pretty good. I went a bit early and burned a Diplo from 1998 (thanks bassdude) at the bar with a couple Mojitos. There was a cute black lady with big hooters sitting at the bar with me. She asked me what I was drinking and I told her. We had about a 60 second conversation about living close by and 20 minutes later, as she was leaving, she decided to press those nice hooters against my back with a hug??? Bad timing. Wife asked me who that was and I was like "I have no idea honey" and I got this dubious look.

Went in to watch the fights... got to meet John Salley (he's REALLY tall) James Tony (he's a big dude) Hector Camacho Jr and Sr, and then Vernon Forrest. He was just pounding Elco Garcia, but the dude refused to fall down. Then in the 10th, Forrest caught him with a nice right hook and then his momentum made him fall. As the ref was waving off a knock down, Garcia was still all fuddled from the right hook and Forrest jumped on him and knocked him out.

I thought the ref should have stepped between the two, and apparently so did Garcia, because he wasn't expecting to get hit. I gotta give him this though... he was taking punches that would have dented Semi Trucks.

Oh yeah... after the fights, I went back to the bar and had a couple more Mojitos and the other 1998 Diplo that bassdude sent me.

Those were outstanding smokes dude. Smooth as silk and flavorful.

Sounded like a great time, MACS!

Yeah, Vernon can punch, can't he?

How did Camacho Sr. do?

Btw, I'll give you a dime for every sentence you understood after "Hi, how's it going?" when you were conversing with Toney, Forrest, & Camacho.

I think a dollar oughta cover it. LOL!!!

PS: When is your book on "how to charm ladies with big hooters in 5 minutes or less" coming out? Whatever you do, don't collaborate with adroomi.

I didn't really speak with them. Just shook hands. Jr was fighting, senior was just taking pictures with all the hot chicks. Jr did okay and won by decision.

As far as the young lady goes... I really can't take any credit. She was obviously drunk and, like I said, I didn't say much to her. The guy beside me was also amused by her friendliness.
