Hey guys I won the finals!! the day started off when i went to the city to weighin around 11, i weighed in a lb under...but anywayz i made weight and hung around the whole day at the affinia in the city, 6 o clock i had to be back at msg where i waited to go on around 8:45...anywayz the first round started off feeling eachother out a bit and i noticed i could land my jab at will so i used it to set some other stuff later on. we traded some combos and i noticed he wasnt as strong as i thought he would be so i wasnt afraid to get in and strike to the body...towards the end of the round he kept his hand high so i teed off to the body with some cotto-esque shots haha 2nd round started off and like i ssaid i used my jab a lot and i would hit the body with it and come over with an over hand right which landed on the button and sent him back...i went after him on the ropes til he got out of the corner...third round we pretty much went after eachother and i moved my head a lot, i noticed he couldnt figure out my defense so i just kept with it...anywayz i won by a unanimous decision and boy am i pumped hah thanks again for your support and ill get the video up sometime when it gets on msg, because my friend who taped it did horrible job because he wasexcited haha
hey guys i just posted the video of the golden gloves finals on youtube...if you guys didnt see it check out my first post, i added it there and lemme kno what ya think thanks!
Thanks all you guys I appreciate. Like I said it was my first gloves, so I didn't really know much about the South Bronx Pal having so much of an influence on the outcomes and stuff. Interesting stuff though. And trust me you have no idea how appreciative I am for being able to get to the finals on the first try. I put in a lot of hard work though so it really does pay off, people don't lie when they say that expression...as for posting in the nutrition forum and stuff, I just really started using the forum now, I signed up to see the videos and stuff but now I'm coming to the forums more regularly so I'll definately post stuff....if guys have any questions about how I train or diet lemme know, I'm more than happy to help
yeh i agree it wasn't as exciting as the last one, imho i liked part two but part one was slow, i felt like i was watching the news rather than a build up for a superfight
hopkins would beat dawson imo, i feel like this guy is never gonna have that moment when he finally slips up, it won't happen ha, but if roy ends up beating, that maybe that moment, even if roy looks good doing...roy beat a washed up lacy and even though i was impressed it doesn't mean hes going to take leaps and bounds because he beat lacy, so like someone said earlier i would like to see hopkins fight one fight before dawson even though i think hed beat him just based on the fact that it s been a while since he fought pavlik
