She's my trainer's sister and she could probably kill me with one punch if she tried. Unbelievable.
My trainer is a 5 time world champion kickboxer.
I have met the current world heavyweight champion, the current world welterweight champion, the world flyweight champion, and many many prospects. I spar with an old sparring partner of Duran and I am friends with Hector Roca http://newyorkmetro.com/nymetro/news...igencer/10977/
Oh, and I met Fifty Cent at my gym, although he just kind of stood around and acted tough.
I think that exhausts my celebrity athlete encounters.

An artist, Delilah Montoya, here in Houston that I absolutely love (I have this piece hanging in my living room) just published this book. The show that became the book was hanging at Project Rowhouse during Fotofest, and the photographs are pretty amazing.
Montoya's lover died right around the time that the book came out ( he was killed by his own statue), so the book didn't get that much publicity here when it came out. They're relaunching the book this week. ( Houston Chronicle story on the book.)
Anyhow, the book might be a good Christmas present for your trainer/sparing partner(s), if you guys exchange gifts at the end of the year.
