Junmar has confirmed that he has received my registration, and he wants me to start training much harder. He is really pushing me, especially during sparring. Actually, the other athletes are pushing me as well.
During sparring on Wednesday at Stockyards, Mark nailed me square in the nose with a jab, and drew blood. I very rarely bleed. I can not believe that happened.
Big news in the world of amateur boxing. They have changed the rules to make amateur boxing more like professional boxing.
They are now using the 10-Point Must system for scoring. The way it works is that the winner of the round is guaranteed 10 points. The other boxer is awarded either 9,8,7,or 6, depending on his performance for the round. Although, a boxer can still lose points for breaking the rules.
Also, many terms have been changed to reflect professional boxing. For example, a Referee Stops Contest (RSC), is now called a Technical Knockout (TKO).
I think one of the reasons they did this is to protect amateur boxing, so that the same thing that happened to amateur wrestling does not happen to boxing.
Summer is here, and here is my summer training schedule, in affect until Thanksgiving:
