'The Brick' Is Tournament Bound!

 

    ENTRY 540| MAY 31/2024


CHANGES TO TRAINING FOR UPCOMING TOURNAMENT

You will have noticed that there was no entry fir a while.
I was taking a break and also I didn't have much to report, until now.

I have been registered to compete in the Boomerz Boxing Novive Tournament, being held this August in London, ON.



Although it is more than two months away, it really isn't a long time, and I still have a lot to work on.
I am not going to walk away from this tournament with anything other than Gold.

Together, my coach and I are going to be concentrating on some specifics and I am going to attend the morning sessions as often as I can since there are more people in my classification at that time.
I cannot get decent sparring on the evening sessions since the young guys, full of testosterone, only want to kill.  They don't seem to understand the concept of good technical boxing.
"Killing" doesn't always seem to work in the Masters division. I want to focus on impressing the judges with good-quality boxing.

I have a strategy that I want to use, but I can't reveal it, of course, but it is a good one.
 I think. I hope.
