Tonight

Again in training tonight I did some sparring. I went 3 rounds with Mick, who has fought at international level. I repeat, he has represented England so, short of going to the Olympics, you cant really go any higher. I held my own, though I think he may have been keeping some in reserve. Still I think I did well and my movement has improved tons.

When the sparring was over, Mick said I had come on bundles since he and I had last had a move around. He told me I needed to get more confident behind the jab and hook, as when I don’t think about it and just go on instinct I am good. I’ll take that compliment! However the praise form him, whilst appreciated, paled when my coach bigged me up.

I think it’s a lot to do with someone showing faith in you but if John was to tell me to run through a brick wall, I’d do it.
