I was asked to start blogging by my boss. And this is my first attempt at it. I have done mass emails in the past of my thoughts and life situations but it has never officially been "Blogging".
The focus of this entree is my fight coming up at Toronto's Chin Picnic. It's rather nerve racking. So I am hoping this post will help alleviate some of my tension and open your eyes to what it is like to be so close to an upcoming boxing match. My thoughts keep me up at night. When I lie down my body is in the bed but my mind is in the ring. The thoughts are so powerful that I can even get so worked up that I start sweating...
I am in the best shape of my life. I gotta feel that. I have to be able to say "I am in the best shape of my life." If I can't say that, I can't be getting into the ring. I am a late bloomer when it comes to the sport. 26 this year classifies me as old. Yet, my record says I am able to throw them around with the best of them--4-0. This upcoming fight I am matched up with a 19 year old with 6 bouts. Not sure of his record. I usually give them the benefit of the doubt though. In fact, I always assume my opponent is ready to rumble and has been training hard. I do this out of respect and I also don't want to walk in the ring to confident. So I am assume he is 6-0 no matter what.
This Chin Picnic is going to have thousands of people and a bikini contest. It's gonna be bananas!
I am ready to rumble.
I have never felt the love for a sport as I do for boxing. Boxing has changed my life when it comes to sports and being an athlete. I've always played sports and been decent, but i lacked the passion. I found the passion with boxing.
More to be revealed...
