The Chosen One

Well Screened

The sexy slugger’s not all about boxing. A born performer, he’s an aspiring actor whose already made a few appearances on TV in “The Contender.” He pops up on our screens again spending time with Joumana Kidd on “Let’s Talk About Pep.”

Solitary

Hino loves New York, but when he’s getting ready for a match he has to leave the city that never sleeps alone. He heads to training camp in Orwell Ohio to get away from all the distractions.

“You have to isolate yourself,” Hino says of prepping for a fight. “You’ll get distracted if you let distraction in. Take away my phone, my computer and my TV and that’ll turn me into a caveman.”

Can You Handle This?

The life of a boxer’s girlfriend is not for everyone Hollywood Hino, who’s still single, confirms. He needs a lady who can handle the attention from other women and who won’t trip when he heads away to training camp for a month or two.

“A lot of girls say, ‘oh yeah, I can handle the lifesty’le,’ when they really can’t,” Hino says. “I think I need an A-lister.”

The Mother Land

Special Guest

Hino said he had a great time kicking it with Joumana Kidd, who came to visit him at the boxing gym while they were taping the show, on “Let’s Talk About Pep.” “She’s really cool. We partied hard and we had a good time.”

Show and Prove

Just because he’s a performer, don’t expect him to be tap-dancing around you all the time. This knock-out needs a chick who can stimulate him too.
“A lot of time when I look for that entertainment back, I don’t get it,” he complains.

My Humps

Ask Hino what kind of girls he likes and he’ll quickly say he likes them tall and thick. “I love thick girls,” He smiles. “I’m not even going to deny that.”
