Viscous Victor Ortiz was at the Huntington Park Curacao today to promote his "VO" cologne. This was a very intimate event, Victor spent time to talk and take pictures with every fan that showed up. Ortiz is a true class act. He is very down to earth and very humble. I arrived a few minutes before the signing was scheduled to begin. There was only a few people in line when I got there. This might of been to the fact that every Curacao employee was clueless to the fact there was an autograph signing was scheduled there today, despite of the giant banner hanging from the entrance of the building. It took me like 5 minutes to find where the actual event was taking place in the store. To meet Victor they said you had to buy a bottle of his cologne ($55), but Victor was nice enough to sign for everybody. They were giving away free VO merchandise: posters and lip balms. I got to spend about 10 minutes talking boxing with him. We talked about how I hope he picks Freddie Roach to be his new trainer. He said he still has to visit other camps, but he loves working with Freddie. We also talked about my favorite boxer Amir King Khan. I said to please don't fight him I wouldn't be able to watch, since I'm a fan of both of them. He said he would "end Khan's career". I said I believe you but Knock out Floyd instead (lol). It was overall a great event. I was able to get a signed glove and poster.
