Sweet Science


I'm climbing into the ring for the first time Wednesday night. I've been training pretty hard and am definitely ready for the challenge. But if I'm honest I must admit I'm a little nervous. My trainer and coach said not too worry this is a natural feeling and afflicts most boxers regardless of the level of experience.

My doctor thinks I'm crazy and I do have concerns about taking too much damage to the head, but it's definitely something I want to do and believe it will fill the competitive void that was left when I finished my collegiate playing career 8 years ago today. I'll be videotaping the fight and will post tape as soon as it is available.
