The interactions on this forum I did not think of him as the guy from the Kimbo fight, or a guy from any pro MMA fights.
Maybe combine those items with his work, and an extensive martial arts background and the dude was an interesting person to interact with.
I did not follow the details of whatever happened at work. I remember that being discussed but did not follow it.
He was always friendly and informative to interact with. The guy did not try to act like he knew more than you and in fact gave me too much credit for knowing more about boxing than I actually do. All while pointing out some items/videos to check out or learn from.
The fight was at team santos in Rhode Islandā¦ Sean asked santos to host it because he was worried that his amateur license to fight would be in jeopardy if they fought in mass.
I remember watching it not live but one of the first recordings to be posted online. Pre Youtube days. It was crazy because you had no idea what would happen. I think the fight lasted like 17 minutes? Really a thing we will never see again.
