Kayla's Celebrity Corner
Bob's daughter Kayla Carroll has met many celebrities along the way. Here are a few pictures.
5/25/2007 - Kayla attended the Antonio Tarver Media workout in Tampa, Fl. Kayla was able to watch IBO Light heavyweight champion, Antonio "Magic Man" Tarver, go thru his pre-fight workout. This workout was previous to Tarver's Majority Decision over Elvir Miriqi on June 9th, 2007. Along with meeting Tarver, Kayla also met NABF Lightweight Champion Edner "Cherry Bomb" Cherry, Light heavyweight prospect Akinyemi "A-K 47" Laleye and light heavyweight amateur Inka Laleye.
Photo #1 - Kayla and Antonio "Magic Man" Tarver during his pre-training tape-up. Kayla was able to say hello and ask Antonio if he was ready to reclaim his IBO light heavyweight belt. His answer came on 6/9/2007 with a MD over Elvir Miriqi.
Photo #2 - Kayla and NABF Lightweight Champion Edner "Cherry Bomb" Cherry. Edner was training for his unanimous decision victory win over Wes Ferguson, a Floyd Mayweather Jr. protoge', on 6/13/2007. Just a side note to this photo, Edner Cherry took a huge amount of time out of his day to speak to Kayla, my wife Kathy and I on this day. Edner is one of the nicest guy you will meet in the boxing world, and is a true ambassador for the sport.
Photo #3 - Kayla watched in amazement while Antonio Tarver did his per workout stretches. She sat and watched for about 15 minutes as Antonio went thru his stretching routine, and even told him to "Keep going, you can do it" (as captured in the pic), when Antonio was grimacing.
Photo #4 - Antonio Tarver invited Kayla into the ring for a post workout picture. Kayla was estatic to get in the ring with the champ, as you can tell by her smile.
