    I was really serious as an amateur and seriously considered pursuing it as a pro. Circumstances can have a big impact on which path you take. I have no regrets though even though I still have that boxing passion. Still spar occasionally and keep myself sharp out of habit.

    I competed from bantamweight all the way to welterweight. Not very tall myself so I had a different build as I was very hefty compared to most.

    My style was meant to go against bigger dudes that I had the speed advantage over as I moved up.

    I struggled more in the lower weights where our speed was comparable. At those weight classes though I had more of a high volume bullying style.

    As a pro I would have liked to start out somewhere around 130 and move up to no more than 140.

      Ehhhh, bit different. He drains himself like crazy. He should probably be at LHW.

          I won. Its a crazy story bro. I was just training for a year or two. I was in high school still. I was the smallest guy at my gym. Mostly heavyweights and light heavies. We fought every other day if we won. I fought tuesday, thursday, and saturday night. Jaidon Codrington who you may know was on the contender tv show was fighting a weight class above me. Enrique Palau was there rip and Jason big six estrada. I got an invite to the junior olympics but due to personal stuff i could not go.

            I consider becoming an opponent from time to time. If you go into it you got one right here just hit me up.

            I'm not very good or very fit so no need for a fix, if you're worth a **** you'll win and if you don't you should look to do something else.

            168 5'8" I'm not fat and have a bit of muscle but this is my young man body still, my 30s body ain't kicked in yet. What I mean is my shape is deceptive, my cardio is ****, and I could still go up or down to meet a dude and give him a good debut fight. ****ing fearless though, Idgaf if you're 7 foot and 300 pound, I'll put on 40lbs of fat and come get at ya.

              I'm always interested in some sparring once the borders open and I get back down to the 180's lol

                    Considered giving it a spin for a moment, but figured since I started out relatively late (in my 20s), being a natural fatso (I mean heavyweight) and relatively short given the current trends as far as height goes I'd have to be really damn good to compete at any sensible level, I kinda decided to treat it more as a hobby. Still, slugging it out a bit every now and again is good fun.

                      When I'm waiting on my food to heat up, I throw a couple combos.
