Weigh ins for Battle of the Boat 80

The day started with Virgil and I going down to Fisticuffs where he had to cut 4.6lbs before we headed to Tacoma for his weigh in. Virgil who had to lose 8lbs for his last fight in November made easy work of loosing the 4.6lbs to jump on the scale at 139!!! He was a pound under in 50minutes and we were off to Tacoma.

The ride down was uneventful, Virgil rested while I drove us there UNTIL, I missed the exit to the Casino. We tried going to the next exit and turn around but that didn't work so well with traffic and a blocking accident, we were running late. While we were trying to find the Casino, the match maker called and asked where we were. We were now 30min late for the weigh ins.

After finally making to the Casino Virgil completed his paper work and jumped on the scale. Right away it was immediately evident that Virgil had a major reach advantage. Virgil who is 6"2" towered over Nalo who is 5'6". After the weigh ins we dropped our bags in our room and headed to the buffet.

Nalo Leal, 139lbs. (left). Virgil Green, 140lbs. (right).

While we were eating I asked Virgil what he thought Nalo was thinking after standing next to him. Virgil said I don't know why don't you ask him he's right behind you. A few minutes later Nalo came to our table with two plates of deserts. He put a piece of cake on the table and told Virgil he brought a little something to fatten him up with.

When Nalo left the table I looked at the plate and told Virgil, "I guess he thinks your a piece of cake!" At that time I saw fire in Virgil's eyes (Hahaha, I like to fan the flames). Virgil just shook his head and said, "Damn!" Virgil didn't have to say anything more, I already knew that Nalo had just poked at the bee's nest by bringing that piece of cake to the table!!!!!
