So this fight is happening in the Wild Card Gym?… That place is small as hell! But no fans so why not? Wild Card is a super cool gym. The Roach and his sister work the counter and charge just $5 to work out. It’s crowded with all kinds of pros training and current and retired pros jockeying to to train any random dude (or chick) who walks in. They’re kinda like cab drivers at a 3rd World airport trying to hustle fares. When I was there, Manny Pacquiao was training later that afternoon so they cleared everybody out. Every Phillipino in the LA area was there trying to get a glimpse of their hero. Freddy Roach was going ape shit directing traffic in the parking lot!
It’s in a ring set up in the Wild Card’s back parking lot.
