Back to the grind my music blogger friends. I have been consumed by boxing for the past few weeks, preparing for the Fight 4 The Cause Charity Boxing Classic. The annual event takes a diverse group of people who have never fought in a sanctioned boxing match, runs them through an intense eight week boxing bootcamp, and has them compete in gala fight. The event was held last Saturday at the Victoria Conference Centre. Over 1,000 crammed into the building to watch the fight.
I was in the 9th fight against a guy named Brayden Leclaire.
It was an emotional time. It is hard to put into words. In the end, all the training boiled down to 2 minutes. Here is the fight.
Looking back, I can’t believe that is me in there. My stress was pinning in the reds leading up to the fight. I am so thankful to my red team coaches, Hal and Aaron, for preparing me for combat. I am also so thankful to my friend, DJ Boitano, for talking me into signing up and then kicking my ass to train hard.
After the fight, there was this overwhelming rush of emotions. It was crazy.
Go with yourself.
The Morning After
