    I'm seriously thinking of competing. I've been to the local gym a few times, the trainer says I have good raw skills.

        box amature in atlanta. record is an unimpressive 0-2. Periods of long layoffs, not as much sparring as necessariy, broken nose that didnt heal straight ( breath out of one nostril), and women have contributed to this poor showing.

        Actually got more focused and stamina is better than ever. Getting my nose fixed so Stamina should increase dramatically. Then I plan on winning the Georgia games in July 16/17.

        Of course thats my plan.

        PS both fights were really close and i was totally drained by then middle of round 2. its like holding your breath for 3 rounds when you can only breath out of part of your nose. it sucks.

            right now i'm training for my college league starting next Fall. i'm 5'6 around 170lbs but i'm gonna get down to atleast welter. my main problem is i used to bodybuild so i'm a heavy guy. it's gonna take a lot to lose the weight, especially since i'm already pretty lean.

                I'm about 5'10, 150lbs, and in the training process. Trainer says I'm moving along at fast pace and should be sparring soon enough once he sees I'm ready. I'm hoping to compete in Golden Gloves like he has one of his fighters in right now and fighting for championship this friday!

                    I am no longer active as a fighter. I am still in the game though as a referee. I have been doing the amatuer cards and tournaments for the last few years and should begin refereeing in the pros this year.

                    As a fighter I had about 60 amatuer fights and 7 pro. Fought out of Galaxy as a pro with Jackie Kallen, James Toney, Bronco McCart and many others. James and I actually came out of the same amatuer gym. Threw punches with many world class fighters and fought on television and at the palace of auburn hills a few times. I spent about 13 or 14 years in the sport as a fighter and plan to spend the rest of my life in the sport in the back side of the game. Referee, judge what ever. Its just where I need to be...........Rockin'
