What's one thing you have done that made you realize you were obsessed with boxing?

lol, well, thanks Cool on some issues maybe, but on others she wishes she could be adopted, I'd say! I'm just a bit overprotective and seldom let her out of my sight..thats bound to be a problem when she becomes a teen, I'm sure!

i also have a daughter
even though sh's only 4 years old, i'm already thinking way ahead of time, like how's it gonna be when she be in her teens?
how should i be a father? you know... things like that pump up in my head almost evey minute.

Since the age of 13 I've recorded countless amount of vhs video tapes of fights, that was a hint. But my last girlfriend would call me and ask what I was up to and almost everytime I would say watching a fight either on tape or on tv. She even said I was obsessed with boxing at one point. And I am, boxing is the purest sport in history. Football comes close but it will never be better in my eyes.

hmm

Two things made me realize how into it I was...

1) Watching the Toney-Jirov fight, I was the only one in the house and I was up and yelling "knock that muther ****er out!" in the 12 round. It was INSANE. I was like, "Knock him the **** OUT!"



2) Watching Roy fight and being amazed at his brilliance. Watching the Ruiz fight in particular I was actually shaking and I teard up a bit when he lost to Tarver.

Man, I've learned you can make all the plans in the world where your child is concerned..as to how youre gonna raise them, how you'll react to certain situations (mainly the discovery of BOYS when you have a daughter!!) and how your kid might turn out..but the way it's gone for me is my "game plan" got thrown out the window cause you just cant 'plan' much of anything, or guess how all those things will turn out. As for being a good parent, I think that all you can do is ALWAYS put your kid first..ahead of anyone and everyone, and that inculdes yourself (hell, especially yourself!!) and always be there for them with love and support. Never judge them or be too critical of what they do. Listen..I mean REALLY, really listen to them and dont ever make them think you consider what they feel '******'. I've told my daughter that every single thing she feels is of major importance to me, and an example of that is me not dating. I'm single and plan to stay that way probably until she is grown. I know that sounds a little weird, but so far it's been real easy cause I've made her the focus in my life. She doesnt want another man in my life, or someone to try and replace her dad..actually, if she had her way he and I would get back together..all kids want their parents together. She knows though that will not happen, but remaining the best of friends with a healthy friendship makes her feel safe and secure.
Just let her (your daughter) that she is the most important thing in your whole world..and that nothing she could ever do would be too terrible to tell you about, no matter how hard it is for her, she needs to know that she can tell you anything.
Good communication is vital. I take it day by day, and try not to expect things to always go according to plan cause usually they dont! There..a little tip from parenting 101 (sorry, didnt mean to go on and on there..but you seemed a little concerned as to the type of dad youre turning out to be, so I just had to throw my 2 cents worth in there!)

I had a dream I invited Mayorga over to dinner and he got drunk and punched my brother and wrecked his car somewhere down the street. This was a week before the Trinidad fight
