    You from far? I've wanted a sparring partner even though I've never boxed with anyone though I like to hit the bag at full power.

      Yeah, how I stand, with the head looking almost down, shoulder positioning and how I throw the jab have some of Cotto(in terms of look). I've seen all his fights several times and before starting to train I used to mimick his style just to fool around so I think it's something that I do without trying.
      its cool to take certain traits from fighters but just make sure you don't pick up any of the bad ones.

            When my trainer feels I'm ready, I'll do it just for fun and to live the thrill since I'm already 26, pretty old for a boxer. I've only had one amateur fight but if I can get to spar more often I think I'll get to improve quickly. It's tough making it on time after work to be able to spar in the afternoon. Maybe late 2011 or early 2012, I hope!!!

            I'm at 140 right now, I can probaly get down to 130.

              The tire setup is cool! How'd you do it?

              How tall are you?

                I went and bought a 16'' tire and a 13'' tire. Took the 13'' tire and put it through the 16'' just by pulling it. Then I bought some eye bolt screws with their hooks at home depot and four 2' chains to attach he hooks and the eye bolts.

                I'm 5'8.

                      it would have been better if instead of buying a 13 tire you bought an interior tire inserted it and pump air into it
