Have you lost weight, fraidy? I remember from past pics you're face looked alot chubbier. Nice work.

Yeah, I'll have some "character" for some time, as my nose is probably broken. My best friend's wife is a nurse and diagnosed it from the pic. It didn't even bleed last night. Not much can be done, she says. I've got a scratch on the underside of my right eyeball, a big red line, that doesn't show up in the pic. They had a field day with me at church this morning.

Kinda shows you how reliant he was on that overhand left, huh?

Yes, big-time. I was 163 for the fight, down about ten lbs. from the last pic I posted. Thanks for noticing.

Consider is a badge of honor. Also consider using your eyes more on the shots....... never seen one so filled in like, so precise that being from an amatuer boxing match. Whats your weight and what ounce gloves were used for the match?

I'm a middleweight, I weighed in at 163 lbs. He was 155. We were using big 16 oz. gloves but he kept driving my right thumb into my eye with that ****ing left of his. He probably whacked me with it 20 or 30 times -- if you look close, you can see that it's an amalgamation of many small bruises in a pattern around my eye and up the side of my nose -- all of that is where I rest my thumb, with my knuckles over my eyebrow, looking through the "hole." I think the thumb is what sc****d the underside of my eyeball, too. I'm gonna look like a ****ing raccoon for the next week.

If I see him again, I'll compliment him on his precision. In the meantime, I need to work on my slipping.

The video is on Hi-8, so I need to figure out how to copy it and then find someone to digitize it. I watched it tonight at the gym. Damn. Big punches.

Someone watching over my shoulder said, "That is some of the worst boxing -- but one of the best fights -- I think we've ever seen at one of these."

My form was great for the first ten seconds or so, until the first time he came at me. Then it all went out the window and it was just cover up, let him punch himself out, then knock him across the ring. Then he'd come at me again like a little terrier, I'd cover up, he'd punch himself out, and then I'd jab him back and club him with the left until he had nowhere to go. . . and then he'd come at me again, and on and on. Six solid minutes of this, pretty much. I quit weaving and slipping once I realized he had only one real trick in his arsenal and that it couldn't hurt me much if I just stayed covered, and saved my energy to pound him into the canvas between flurries. Ugly fight. Real ugly fight.

I do hope he's not hurt. I landed some serious punches.

Gimme a few days to figure out how to transfer this over, and I'll put the video up if you still want to see it.

Can't wait to see the video, I love a good brawl. Reading this makes me want to train again in a big way!

Who doesn't? But I'm gonna get ****ing crucified by the actual boxers on this site when they see it. I'll post it anyway once I get it, though.

[Ringo]

I'll probably give you a good reaming, fraidy, lol. But I'm going to try to get my first fight up also, so you can return the favor.
