Right now lately it has been slow at the forum  and with things either slow or speeding up for others I wanted to ask everyone something. If you could meet any of your favorite boxers what would you say and where would you meet them?? It can be either male or female and alive or dead. Also you can pick the time period if you want to.  I thought this would be a fun thing to talk about plz participate. ;D |

Jason, As a long time fan of womens boxing I attend as many matches as possible if they are in my area. Living in southern calif. I concentrate on Nevada area (Laughlin, Vegas, Lake Tahoe,etc;). As you know finding womens boxing matches is like trying to get the un-listed phone numberof a celebrity. The websites try but they are going on limited information. It is a full time job trying to locate and confirm who is fighting who and where. Once I hearof a fight I check Boxrec to see if its listed. Over many years I found out attending the weigh-ins is more rewaring than attending the fight. At the weigh-ins youget a chance to spend time, take photos and get to knowyour favorites one on one. I have been very fortunate to have met some of the kindest people in the boxing business. Too mention a few, Butch & Mary Ann, Sue Fox, AROTO promoters (Ken Weiss and Arnie Rosenthaul) and many many more. I find that all the women fighters I spent time with have been more than kind to spend time with their fans. Some of the fighters who are my favorites are, Marischa Sjauw, Belinda Lauraquente, Melissa Hernandez, Ada Valez, Elana Reid, Laura Ramsey, Wendy Rodriguez, Daria Hill, Lisa Brown, Ava Knight to mention a few. It is sad that there is not an easier way to hear and confirm fight cards with females on the card. I am 81 and still trying to hang in there. Themost important rule I go by is getto the weigh-in, see them weighed in and registered with the state athletic commission before you buy a ticket to the fight. sicerely yours John Hill.
