The above photo was taken at the 2009 World Boxing Hall of Fame at the LAX Los Angeles Marriott Hotel. Lucia Rijker was kind enough to sign the program for my wife Jeri and last month at the 2012 California Boxing Hall of Fame at the Sportsmen's Lodge in Studio City, she signed this photo for Jeri. Lucia Rijker, the greatest woman fighter of all time and a very gracious lady.
