I got the win in my first match...I must admit it was exhilirating to go from sparring to actually fighting with a guy whose purpose was to knock you out. You can check out the video online if you so care.
I'm patterning my style after Floyd and the lesser known (but equally as capable) Paul Williams. Lots of movement, shifty defense and opportunistic combinations. Here's the scouting report on me after my first fight.
Pros
Quick Hands
Great ring movement
Takes very little punishment
Cons
Holds hands low (no no against quick opponents)
Rolls shoulder too often
Unbalanced Combinations
Obviously I've got somethings to work on. I'm fighting again at the end of June and if I perform well I'll be going to a national tournament to test my skill against some guys from across the nation. It's been 8 years since I've felt truly competitive...I must admit this feels good.
