Sparring Report: Thursday
For some reason, I did not get to spar on Wednesday, but I got to do three rounds on Thursday.
Richard had me spar Newton.
Newton is a very small guy. He must weigh only 130 soaking wet.
That is true, but I hit a lot harder.
I made him bleed, and felt bad about it.
I would not feel bad if the guy is my size or bigger, but it was like I was beating up on a guy smaller than I.
When I spar him again, I am not going to hit so hard. It really isn't fair.
After that, I did four sets of sprints, and two laps around the park.
On Wednesday, in lieu of sparring, I did 10 sets of sprints, and three laps.
Today, my legs feel like they are about to fall off.
Boxing Trivia Quiz Finally Available
Well, after only about three months, the administrators at braingle.com finally accepted my boxing quiz.
They were insisting that I provided proof that my answers were correct. Although I am a boxer and already know the sport, they insisted that I prove the accuracy of my answers.
Well, initially I wasn't going to bother, but you all know how I always put up a fight when I know I'm right.
I did about 600 pages of research, submitted it to them, and on Thursday, I received an email that my trivia was accepted.
Now, lets get people to try it.
Test your knowledge of boxing, with these 12 questions:
"ROUND ONE"
Maybe.
I was seriously thinking about it, but it is a lot of work.
