Another month to prepare

Hey world,



I'm going to make this short because I got to be somewhere at 9am and the time now is 12:25am. My fighter didn't get to fight tonight because no one his weight was available. This is going to be his first boxing match and I want it to be as fair as possible. Some fighters who have done this a few times will negotiate things like the surplus weight of one fighter for the extra experience of another.



I went to go watch the fights to see what my my guy will be up against. I wish he could have come also so he can see it's not as bad as he may think it is. When I discuss this topic with other fighters we all pretty much had the same feeling about our first fight: its going to hurt a lot... and we're scared! Speaking for myself, it was nowhere a bad as I imagined. I chased my guy around the ring and never gassed out (thank you Mr. Frack for pushing me so hard).



Coming back to tonight, I did meet a fighter who is most likely to be the best candidate so far. He is the same height and claims to be the same weight as my fighter. We exchanged numbers so we can stay in contact. He came off pretty confident after we had a breif discussion for Sunday, November 21st. Until I popped the question "Can I take a photo of you so my guy can see you?" He politely declined. Then his eye contact lack conviction when he said "Tell your homie to get ready for next month". Oh, he'll be ready alright ;>) Muhahahahaaaa!



To end this on a lighter manner, I was at Covina's "Blues-a-palooza" this past Sunday. I did a brief demo with my guy to promote the gym we are currently facilitating. I saw a few other guys taking photos with these ladies trying to look "cool". I decided to changed it up and show another side. Every guy at some point whether it be junior high, high school and even after can relate to this as we go through life learning to have the confidence to approach such beauty. I like to call this the "school boy pose". I'm know girls who have gone through this uncomfortable feeling as well where we want to talk, but the words sound wierd because we keep tripping over our tongue. It was funny and we all laughed about it. So I dedicate this picture to all of us growing up through such moments that make us grow. Cheers!
