Upcoming Exhibition In Prep For the Seasons Beatings

ENTRY 359

EXHIBITION MATCH: OCTOBER 28

So far, I do not have an opponent for October 28, but Brock is going to try to get me an exhibition match with a guy from his Ajax location.

I like doing exhibitions. There is no pressure or stress. It is really just sparring practice but with an audience.

After my exhibition, I will have two weeks of `rest` and then I will have to start training for my bout in Hamilton in the Heavyweight division.

SPARRING REPORT: WEDNESDAY

No sparring on Tuesday, but I did six rounds on Wednesday.

My current focus is still offense. Being busy, being first, and throwing more combinations.

I am also working on some `new`defensive moves that Brock taught me.

CHANGES IN TRAINING FOR THE SEASONS BEATING

I am still in regular training, and will remain so through until the second week of November. At that time I will go into pre-bout training for my bout verses Scott Turnbull at Mohawk College on December 10. The event is called 'Seasons Beatings'. Good name, but I wonder who will be getting the beating?

I have been doing a lot more double-ended ball practice and speed bag work.

I generally do 3-4 rounds per session on the double-ended ball, and two rounds on the speed bag.

Another thing I have added to daily training is a few rounds on the stationary bike. This is in addition to the hour on the treadmill at Bloor Fitness.

I have found that with Brock's gym being a lot more spacious, I have more room to work. I find that I can do what I need to do to complete my training at a level that is satisfactory to both myself and the coach.

Next Wednesday, I will be visiting Brock's other gym in Ajax.

Since I will be in Pickering that day, I wall do a training session with Brock at the Durham Boxing Academy on Station Street in Ajax.
