2010 was a very painful and long year.  Boxing has been on the distant back burner, but still burning hot.  The year started off with an elbow injury which sidelined me for Golden Gloves.  In April, the Doc said I was good to go, so back to training I went.  I trained for almost two weeks and I was in a car wreck.  I have spent the rest of the year having my back fixed.  I had some pinched discs and twisted vertebrae.  I am just now getting back to working out, its been a long very difficult…

So the second round started and we met in the middle again, both wanting to win and have the dominant position in the ring. We traded shots and I landed a solid… Continue

The last two weeks have been intense at the gym I have had to drop from 153lbs. to 141lbs. currently I am at 144lbs. Workouts have extended from 2 to 3 hours workouts, to 3 and 4 hour workouts. I start my workout by warming up with 20 minutes of jump rope, then I move on to shadowboxing. Shadowboxing, is very crucial to boxing because this is the time you perfect the art, the technique and master all the combos while you look into mirrors so you know the form is correct. I will do 6 rounds of… Continue
