Stopped by with a friend today. Just missed Frankie Duarte, who works with fighters in the morning.
Freddie is in Canada with Amir Khan. The gym slows down when Freddie is out of town. That is, the Hollywood crowd thins out.
Had a nice visit with Freddie's older brother Pepper, or Pep.
Mostly amateurs on the floor at the time.
Showed my friend around the gym, the photos, a lot of L.A. history on the walls, fighters from the past.
Wish I had something of interest to report. Nada. We left.
A week from tomorrow night, Freddie will be in the corner of Amir Khan as he takes on Paulie Mali-whatever at Madison Square Garden.
A week after the fight I'll drop in then to say hello. Of course, I won't be alone.
All the Hollywood-types that wallpaper the gym when Roach is in the house will be back.
I'd love to see Mel Epstein walk into Wildcard when the Hollywood crowd is present. He might have an opinion?
