nice, you have the right idea starting young like that, my biggest mistake was waiting until I was 21 before going to a gym. good luck on that fight, train hard...

I fought for a while out of the Detroit area. Started amatuer in '86 and then turned pro in '93 after about 60 or so fights. James Toney and i fought out of the same amatuer gym and then jackie kallen started coming down when she first became a manager. We got to be good friends and later she would leave the gym and start her own stable of fighters. james would go with her later and win the middleweight title. thats when i decided to turn pro. Called Jackie and she set me up with what i needed, she is a great lady. Trained hard and ended up fighting at the palace of auburn hills a couple of times and then walked away from the sport. i was forced by my trainer to fight while i had a lung infection, man I could hardly breathe let alone fight. i went through with the fight because he told nme that if I pulled out of the fight that i would be blackballed and not fight in the state again. I said to hell with this and quit. i did comeback and had a few more fights after a while but it was nothin'. I am now a referee in the amatuers and just took my professional certification test on saturday and i believe that i will have passed. So watch for a rockin' ref on the television, that would be me.......Rockin'

Fought alot of tough guys in my day, among them Oba Carr, Carl Griffith, Gary Stretch, Dennis Andries, Kenny Gould, James Toney, Leo Nolan, Jason Pappilion, Bronco McCart, Tarrick Salmaci and so many others.

James and I used to spar when we were both amatuers back in the day. I was fighting at 119-125 and he was like 156-160 or so. Quite honestly he was not a great amatuer fighter but he was good. One day I had gone into to train and james had a fight coming up. He was boxing really hard that day and i told him to let up on his shots a bit, after all I was like 15 or 16 years old at the time and he was like 21 or something, a boy boxing a man. So he goes off on giving me the business saying that Im a ***** and all of that. James fighting as an amatuer and fighting as a pro were two totally different things. I would sparr again later with him when he was holding the middleweight title and let me tell you that guy was smooth. When he was moving you couldnt hit him with a handfull of rocks, or a handfull of anything for that matter. Before going into work with him my trainer had told me that he did not want me taking a step backwards with him, he wanted me pushing forward aggressively as I normally did when i fought. Well we got going and heres James floating around on his bike swatting me and slipping what ever i had to offer in my pursuit. Sometime during the round we stood at ring center and he had just landed a sweet shot to my face, he stood there and we started throwing. I dont recall the whole exchange but I do recall catching his hook and sharply countering with mine as we continued to exchange. I landed another solid shot and he backed off on his bike again, proclaiming his superiority to the world and everybody in the gym. Quite honestly the guy is superior, but as I again began my pursuit I knew that i had the better of that lengthly exchange and he knew it too. I never did take a step back when sparring with him after that, but we only sparred a couple of times when he was champion. Ask him now and he will most likely not recall the sessions, after all the guy is or was a world beater, but then again maybe he would....Rockin'
