Plenty of Celebrities on hand which added to the fun of course.
Some of the Celebs on hand that we either
met or took photo's with are:
Antonio Tarver - Winky Wright - David Tua - Zabb Judda - Joey
from the Show "The Contender"
Some other guy from Contender can't remember his name. The most colorful of them
by far
was Zab Judda (who I told I wanted his Diamond Plated teeth, he said they didn't
come out
I told him I would take them out for him :) and Antonio Tarver who had more
Diamonds on his
Sunglasses than I've probably ever seen Total Diamonds in my life.
Just after I snapped the photo of David Santos
above he leaned over and hugged me,
mind you he just got done beating someone's a$$ in the ring, let's just say he
was a little
sweaty... EEEEEKKK! Super nice guy, really humble and it may have been his last
fight, which
is why you see the photo of him on the Microphone after his fight, he was in
tears thanking the
crowd for supporting him for 18 years of Boxing.
David Tua was also really nice, we had to lean
across about 100 wires, 2 tables and a lady
with a newborn in order to take this picture. He could have very easily been
like "Screw this".
After we took the picture he got frustrated and knocked out my Cousin Rich,
what a great punch.
The theme for the night was a celebration of
the troops and our armed forces, so instead of
Jeff "Left Hook" Lacey coming out to a typical Rap or Hip Hop song and his
normal trunks. He
Did it in style and came out to "Born in the USA", which was excellent, he built
the crowd up
staying behind the massive American flag where you can only see his shadow on
the front
of the flag, the place went insane!! "Left Hook" also displayed his true class
by wearing the colors
as he entered the ring (as you can see when he walked by me and I snapped the
shot far right).

There wasn't one person on their seat through
this fight, the entire St. Pete Times Forum
was out of control, the energy was insane like when we were there for Game 7 of
the
Stanley Cup when the Lightning won.

Reid who was "Left Hooks" opponent tried
everything under the sun, everything from Spitting out his
mouth piece, to low blowing Lacey to head butting and constant bitching. He
quickly realized that
Jeff could and would fight any fight and would win, Reid blatantly head butted
Lacey, at which point
when the ref tried to warn Reid, Lacey hit Reid with a blistering overhand right
which
actually knocked Reid Down and counted as 1 of 4 Knock Downs.

Since Reid is from the UK, Jeff's Coach
thought he should give him a special gift for coming into Jeff's backyard
to try and win the title. So he gave Reid a really nice shirt that said: "I came
to the US and got Knocked Out by
Left Hook Lacey". Kinda funny but it became fact, which was also amazing because
Reid had never even touched
the canvas in any other fight in his career. Jeff let him sit down 4x in one
night to make up for it.
