Rick and I are fine - getting old, however.

We'll probably see you at the next Azteca show - we manage to work most of them - and love the carne asada!

141 lbs/64 kg: Danny Garcia, Philadelphia, Pa./USA stopped Todd Kidd, AUS, RSC

i think danny should be the 141 lb. olympian, molina is a great fighter dont get me wrong but garcia has alot more experience and is older stronger and more mature, and has international experience, i think he should be the olympian

I'm sure Danny, and others, also wish he was the Olympian - but he isn't, fair and square. We need to support ALL our Olympic team members, whether or not we agree with the ultimate results.

And considering there were other USA boxers on the dual meet team who did not have much, if any, international experience, or the overall experience of Danny Garcia, do you think they should be Olympians just because we swept the Australian team?

Who ever earned their way to the big show, it is what it is. Molina has in him what you cannot train, being fearless. He is so young, non of this fades him. In terms of attitude, he reminds me of Taylor from the 84' team. Same age and same spunk. This kid is so young, he will refuse to lose. I feel this kid will work until the job is done.

I just got an e-mail from Julie informing me that they do not have a copy of this show for sale.

Would anybody else know of any other source of obtaining the DVD?

Would anybody have the details of the promoter?

Any help will be greatly appreciated.
Thank you very much.

I heard from Frank. He has not been able to obtain any video of the dual meet. We're still trying, however. 8)

It seems that almost every time a show's promoter says you can't videotape the show, they don't offer a DVD of the show. It is really frustrating when it is being recorded with TV cameras and they still don't air it or offer it for sale. My son has boxed about a dozen times under such circumstances. One tourney actually sold the DVD and it was well produced. The others did not so I do not have those bouts recorded. Very annoying.

Dennis, we don't know if a tape/DVD of the dual is available or not since he has been unable to get in touch with the contact I gave him. Have since given him several more, so keeping fingers crossed. 8)
