ENTRY 312
The Cobra Returns
Leo returned on Monday after a long hiatus due to knee surgery.
Of course he wanted to spar, so we did four rounds.
Here it is:
LEO -- PAUL April 4
He did have a very good idea, though. To create a private YouTube channel just for Stockyards team members to watch their sparing sessions.
I think this is a great idea, and something I am currently working on.
There are a lot of times when the boxers want to see their sparing performance.
I will use the camera on my Samsung S6, which has a very good camera.
The only good thing about the S6.
The video camera is 4K, although I will likely only use 1080p to start.

I will record the sparring sessions and post them to our private channel.

A New Opponent For April 30 ?
My original opponent from Kingston has backed-out.
He decided that he did not want to fight me. I really don't blame him. I would not want to fight me either.
Another guy has come forward, from Brantford.
Although, Richard has not said much about him, he is a bit heavier. Not by much. I could probably fight him without the need to gain weight, which I don't want to do.
UPDATE: Kind of funny. I wrote this before going to the gym and I was going to publishing it right after, but I now have to edit.
When I went in, Richard told me that this latest opponent has also cancelled.
I am not going to tell you the explicit words I wanted to yell at that time, but for the kids' boxing class was going on.
This is the second time this has happened for April 30.
Now Richard and I have to look for someone else again.
This is getting annoying.
If you want to be a boxer, and you want to compete, then compete. Don't say "Okay" to a match and then cancel a few days later.
If we don't find someone, I will talk to Richard about the possibility of an exhibition match with someone from Stockyards.
Sparring Report
In addition to sparring Leo on Monday, I also sparred Mike and Newton on Tuesday.
I still think I should keep up with sparing. It is important to keep practicing, even though I am not getting opponents. Otherwise, I will get 'stale', and that is not good.

Looking For Opponent
While I am on the topic: Any coaches out there with a Masters Novice in around the 80 kg class, and is available for our April 30 card, please let Coach Richard at Stockyards know ASAP.
