Shanghai Fight Night is back! The havoc begins December 5 at Pudong Shangri-La with five bouts of amateur fighters and three matchups of professionals. We got the boxers out of the ring to answer a few questions. Here's what the fifth pair of white collar fighters had to say.
Rafael "The Suit" Lomenso
Job: Lawyer
Nationality: Brazilian
Age: 29
Weight: 74.5 kg
Height: 173 cm
Favorite quote: “It seems that perfection is reached not when there is nothing left to add, but when there is nothing left to take away.” – Antoine de Saint Exupéry’s 1900-1944
Motivation for boxing: As you start training hard, boxing will push you in places that you didn’t know you could go.
If you could fight anyone, dead or alive, who? Madam Brazilian President Dilma. But considering she is a woman that does not train to fight (as far as we know), and to make it a more even one, I would gladly punch her "godfather" ex-president Mr. Lula or any of his corrupt sons for that matter.
Favorite boxer: Vasyl Lomachenko
Favorite boxing clip:
Alan "Captain Hook" Wong
Job: Business Development Manager at Eastern Empire Distributing Co.
Nationality: Taiwanese
Age: 34
Weight: 75 kg
Height: 168 cm
Favorite quote: “You don't win if you don't plan."
Motivation for boxing: Hoping one day I can master the art of boxing and fight pro.
If you could fight anyone, dead or alive, who? I am not much of fighter actually, but if I really have a chance to fist fight anyone it'd be Roy Jones Jr, ha!
Favorite boxer: I have to give it to our trainer Ricky, he is a positive, 100% focused, very explosive athlete, also a warm loving father who devotes himself to his family.
Favorite boxing clip: Mayweather vs Robert "The Ghost" Guerrero. Guerrero is a true warrior facing Mayweather, his combination and ferociousness is inspirational to watch.
