With good reason, N. Anything's lable ta set-him-off. Don't be deceived by this smiling, elder-statesman personsa. It's BS. Scratch the surface -- big belly 'n fused spine or not, he's an attack dog.

It's like that? I can imagine from his younger days but, it does seem like he has mellowed...

Sure he's mellowed,a. Say or do something that rubs him the wrong way, 'n see whatya think

Just read Al Bernstein's' book. Was a good read. I'm a big fan of Al so that might be very biased but its an easy read. I'd go for his anyway even if it meant missing the weigh in's. Duran's would be a must. Saying that If I was in Vegas I'd probably be enjoying the sun too much to remember to get them.

I'd probably see Al too, really like him. What's the book like/about?

Duran obviously, would quite like to see Pipino Cuevas too.

Saw Al Bernstein after a fight a couple of times. He is cool...

I was expecting it to be a lot more about big fights and boxing but it really was a good mix of his own life, broadcasting and boxing. His idea's of broadcasting are pretty much what you'd expect from listening to him but he puts it across really well. For example he points out how these days a lot of the broadcasting is a shouting match on ESPN and I can see that in some of their shows while Al is more reserved. How commentators go out and bad mouth a fighter while you never see Al do it in a up front way that you see others do. Learnt some things I never knew about him like him being a singer would not of even guessed that. I enjoyed it paid £6 for it on the kindle so can't really complain. Also has some really nice things to say about fans on this side of the world.

The man just oozes class. Will definitely look out for it.
