i got a pair of velvet boxing trunks, made to measure with my initials on, in xmas 1978.i've still got them.they don't fit anymore
Books galore - I'm extra psyched to read "Shelby's Folly: Jack Dempsey, Doc Kearns, and the Shakedown of a Montana Boomtown" and I've got the Hauser bio of Ali, Dundee's "My View from the Corner," and a novel about women's boxing as well. And I bought myself some new bag gloves (nothing fancy, just Ringside Super Bag Gloves, but I used my previous Ringsides for years before they started to fall apart so I'm happy with them). And not strictly Christmas gifts, but this week my trainer handed me a new jump rope and some 1-pound weights for shadow boxing. The weights aren't comfortable yet, but the rope is like driving a new car after driving around in a clunker for years.
:bbbI talked to my coach. We start back to the gym (after a 3 month hiatus) in January 2011.:bbb :thumbsup
I got some nice Everlast Workout pants, and my first pair of boxing trunks-Everlast that are black with silver trim.
