Many of you remember my last foray into amateur fighting left me standing there in my trunks with vaseline on my face and my opponent did not show.
well my coach called me yesterday morning with the news he was offered 2 guys who's original opponents backed out. of course i said yes. I am not in the greatest shape and 12 days is not a lot of time to work on cardio. (last few days to rest and recover) It will be a 3 rd boxing match out of state. they are paying for our gas and our hotel room. I will be accompanied by my 2 coaches who will corner me and another young guy who took the other fight which will be Muay Thai. I would love to fight a MT bout but I will take boxing as my hands are decent.
I have to loose 4# which will be easy. just stop drinking beer and eating chicken fried steaks or tacos and beans from the local taqueria.
I think I will have a size advantage weight and height but I am a bit fat for my frame. not fat by regular standards but I can only see my top abs and have a tiny jiggle in my lower belly maybe 11% BF LOL. alot of guys would kill for that right?
Anyway I feel pretty confident.other dude has had a full camp. My coach says I have heart but tend to lower my head and rush my punches with poor technique, also i must move out instead of always going forward to engage. I think I do this to save cardio as it is much easier to offend than to defend and move. I have not really been hurt in sparring even with the big guys since I had my nose broken and have only been knocked out once by a huge HW.
I must stay relaxed and box.
August 17th I will post pics as long as I don't get stood up again.
