Miguel Espino; “I am a real fighter!”
ME: Well definitely that I am a real fighter and not a reality boxer like Larry Merchant was saying during the Calzaghe vs. Manfredo fight. I have been in the game for quite some time and have always fought real guys, it is not reality TV boxing like Larry was talking about, I am a real fighter and I am going to continue proving that.
BH: That was actually one of my questions, during the Calzaghe-Manfredo fight, to me, which I could be wrong, but either way it seems as if Larry Merchant was pretty much downing the series not giving "The Contender" contestant much credit. Give your thoughts on his comments, and do you feel as if you are breaking away from that reality series label?
ME: Yes pretty much, he did good job of ripping the reality series, saying "The Contender" was just a show and this and that, it is what it is, and people may think what they want.

He was there on Feb. 13, 1945, when the Allies firebombed Dresden in a massive air attack that killed 130,000 people and destroyed a landmark of no military significance. .
