A boxer I train, sparring in London

[Exige Jr]

We're probably going coming to London again sometime in late May.

Ok well around the time contact me I could give you the phone number of my club or something, you could ask to come down and do some sparring... maybe? I dunno.

Did you say you were from Denmark? You've an incredible grasp of English. Some of you guys from the rest of Europe put us to shame. Then again, English is the main language in terms of Countries that speak it.

I could speak and understand English ever since I was 6 years old, just from watching movies and figuring stuff out from the subtitles. When we started having English in the 5th grade, I was pretty much fluent.

I also lived on Long Island for a year, when I was 15. Some of the kids I met later in my stay never figured out I was a foreigner Also, I read a lot of books, and 90% of them are in English.

I cringe when I see other Danes, especially Jangeorg "representing" Denmark. I wonder if he's as horrible in Danish as well?

He did okay, considering we normally fight and train a lot differently because he's an amateur. This is actually the first time he's done 3 minute rounds in about 4 years, so that's one thing that was different. Also the style. We usually train for 2 minute rounds of all out punching and moving. The more punches, the more movement, the better. Here he has to slow down on his feet a little, get settled and throw heavier shots. You can totally tell the difference in styles between the two.

It's no big deal though, since we're not planning on turning him pro for at least another year. First, the EU championships in June, and then hopefully the world championships in September.
Still, nice enough to get a little work with some pro's, just to see how he measures up. I was pretty satisfied. Obviously we'll need to work on more of a pro style, when he turns pro, but for now we're focusing on getting him as ready for those amateur tournaments as possible. His record is 65-15 or something around those figures. He lost 3 of his first four fights, the first two to another kid I was training at the time

I think the other guy was 2-0 as pro, but I'm not sure.

I see what you mean with the styles. Giving him a little exposure to that was probably a smart idea. Seems like you're doing a great job with this guy. Good luck with the tournaments. I'd love to see more videos if you have/get them.

I'll put some more stuff up at some point. Hopefully even some of his fights, if I can get them filmed well enough.

Oh, and thanks for the kind words.
