My Dream: Day By Day.

[ForemanCrossArm]

damn. life threw me a curveball but im still kicking and clawing at it. i think being forced away from my gym and trainer and being forced to question whether i was throwing my life away making this not just a dream but my goal has made me feel that much more strongly about it.. fixing to move back in range of my old gym by the end of this month. in the meantime i'm gonna be working my ass off on my own and with my pops, who actually wants to help train me and go pro. (how many parents would be cool with a 20 y/o deciding he wanted to box, out of the blue, basically haaha)

I'm in 100% the same situation as you.

I'm only 16 and I recently went from both swimming and running at midlands/national level in england and all of a sudden wanted to start boxing and found that I'm pretty much willing to work myself into the ground to get to the top, exactly the same mental frame that you seem to be in..

I've also started creating a log from the 5th March onwards so I'll get some pics sorted and might make my own one of these showing my progress and stuff.

Good luck man.

that bag was still originally $150+, it's 110lbs and beside the fact that the straps are stitched (not bracketed to the bag itself) it'll work for a home-type thing. Plus i got it for less than 60 bucks, ha.

Guy on EBAY has a collection of them that he'll post an auction for time to time. These were 18 oz, SLIP-ONS!!, and I got them for eh.. like $140 with shipping and everything. I think I got a bargain. I had ordered some Grant Pro Bag Gloves (basically same price) and the workmanship was night and day between the two with the Grants looking like **** compared to the Flores gloves. Check ebay regularly, they're gems to be had. There was a pair of like never used flores fight gloves from the 80's for like 1-2 grand a while back, jeeeeeesus...

I'm 21 on April 7 so we're not quite in the same boat. But I am willing to work myself into the ground.. I've wasted time the past few months, that's for sure. I can only keep telling myself that my dream is real and keep following it. You just gotta' keep plugging. Keep trying. Keep working. That's all it takes.
