I bet you can't...I don't think you can...you are not going to....When someone says those words and they are talking about me, well lets just say...you said it to the wrong guy!!!
10 years ago those words were said to me several times when I showed interest in competing in the 1st Gun's N Hoses Boxing Match. Yes, I had talked about actually getting into a boxing ring...with no experience at all! People thought I was crazy and those words were uttered several times, which spurred me to say screw it I AM DOING THIS!!!
November of 2005, I walked out of a smoke filled tunnel, Godsmack I Stand Alone was playing on the loud speaker and in front of 10,000 people, I Entered the ring for my USA amateur boxing debut!! Yes I did it!! Don't say I can't do it, or you don't think I can or doubt that I will, because hearing that.....I will make it happen.
I am the one in blue
It is now 2015, I am almost 40 years old and the opportunity to get back into the ring has come up again. However, there are just a few more obstacles that I might have to overcome if I want to get back into that ring! The biggest is going to be my training, mainly giving up one of my favorite things, beer!! I heard it from everyone, there is no way you can give that up, I don't think you can do that...etc!! Guess what, there was my motivation!
This was going to be a huge commitment, but after talking to my wife she gave me her full support and encouragement I needed!!! My buddy Shawn then also has promised to become my personal training and get me in shape! The start date for this journey was set July 7.
Today, July 27th, I have started week 4 of my training. I am still alcohol free, working out every day, and completely changed my eating habits. I only have 16 more weeks left before fight night!!! It is going to be one crazy ride, but I am gaining support each week as I am proving that I am actually going to do this!!!
NOW FOR
Katie and I love our Rocky, so when I asked her if I should box all we could think about was this scene!
Have a rad day and an awesome week!!
