Boxing in your family.

Both of my grandfather and uncle are amateurs. Although they didn't really participate professionally, they had boxing gloves and punchbags in their house.

 

Only my father and I are avid boxing fans. BTW zangetso, your avatar is the best thing i've seen in a long time

 

Who was your grandpa by the way if you don't mind?

 

My grandfather was a Golden Gloves champ as well in the state of California. My pops is just a fan of the sport, but taught me the basics when I was a wee kid passed on from his old man. Boxing is in my family no question.

 

Thanks.

It seems there is a lot of people with a boxing family background on these boards.

Her face is doll-like. Flawless beauty.

 

Don't have anything like that. My dad boxed through his school, but everytime he stepped up the competition level he got whooped.

So he became a top level runner instead.

 

Grand dad boxed in the navy a little.

Dad boxed in jail a little. I think he did a little boxing to get there, too.

 

No only me and my dad are boxing fans. I have military in my blood as three of my granpas were in the service but I'm not sure about their names. Maybe they did boxing who knows. One things for sure I'm starting it in my family and wouldn't mind teaching my nephew a thing or two. If he wants to take up boxing after my career I'll gladly pass the torch. I'm an amateur hopeful wishing to compete soon wish me luck!

 

My grandad was a good amateur, winning many domestic amateur titles. My dad did a bit but he was a rugby prodigy. Me, i was fat and useless at all sport.

 

I think Alvarez is Ricardinho's son.
