I had a tough match. I lost. But I never gave in.
I’ve been on this site for a long time and I’ve seen a lot of people talk a lot of sh#t about boxers. “He sucks,” or “he got a glass jaw.”
I don’t ever wanna hear that sh#t again.
I took a tough match. I was put up against the best guy from the opposing gym. He was a full head taller than me. A winning record.
My team gave me an out. They straight up asked me. “Do you want this fight? Cuz if you don’t want it, we’ll pull out.”
They knew, and I knew what I was up against. I said hell no. I said I’m gonna do it and I’m gonna do it. He’s gonna have to prove it in there that he’s better.
I was out gunned and out matched going in and I knew it. And I don’t get paid. I don’t get anything. But I went in there. I took a chance and I did it for me.
People can say this and that about any boxer, but most people wouldn’t do it. They don’t have the balls. It’s easy to play Sunday morning quarterback from your couch. Most guys wouldn’t get in there knowing they’re up against someone better than them.
They don’t see the struggle. The pain you endure. Most people would quit the second it gets tough. Quit on the stool. Not me.
I’m not a good boxer. I’m not the fastest. I’m not the strongest. I’m not the most skilled. But they can never question the balls I have. The grit. The toughness. I go out on my shield. You can’t coach balls.
