how was your mma fight? did the guy suck ass standing? was he tough on the ground?

I wasn't in shape and took the fight to soon. The guy had me by about 5" and 30lbs. surprisingly he wasn't bad on his feet. He was moving side to side well and he was a southpaw, which always throws me off. Both times we went to the ground I took him down and we got stood back up pretty quickly. Had I been in shape I have no doubt I would have beat him, but he was a little to big and I was a little to old and out of shape.

Still contemplating one more fight. I'd hate to go out with a loss.

trained and sparred at a local boxing gym near my university.

need to get back into. stopped because i moved back home in the summer. back in university since september and have been bogged down with work.

Same here. Stopped earlier this year because I was too blind and couldn't pretend I could see anymore.

I would still love to lace it up but eye doc ordered me not to fight anymore in my life. He said last Saturday when I asked him if i can ever box again "You got a perfect donor and you're going to box so that you can ruin it, come on give me a break Kev. All that you have gone through you're going to throw out the window like that." Those words hurt like a bullet in the heart, especially that i am only 20.

Bro it seems that you have a serious eye problem. I'm sorry to hear that cause I could imagine how hard it is to be denied of something that you love because of physical problems.(I was denied in the US Air Force because I failed the Depth preception eye test)

Anyway what I wanted to say is that judging by your problem, i don't think it's healthy to spend time infront of the computer screen. I think it could make your condition worse. You might wanna slow down a little

ive had over 30 ametuer fights..and did some boxing in prison..bout to resume my ameuter career

I wondered if they still had that in prison. Thats good to hear they do. I'm training right now but need to lose some more weight and learn some more before I get into the amateurs.

Yup, and Im still contemplating. Can't seem to keep myself in the gym for any amount of time. The promoter of the show I fought on did recently ask me if I wanted a fight against a former power lifter. seen him fight and know I would destroy him if it didn't go to the ground. His name is Grant Austin, Im trying to find video on him now.
