    In the next few weeks I will have a new boxing club opening up a minutes walking distance from my house. I think I may pop my head in to see. I havn't laced up the gloves in years since I was 6 now going on 28. Done it for a year and then the gym closed. After that a mixture of football and GAA football for me. Now I am a 2 stone over weight I think I may pop in to train a bit if they let me. Dont want to spar or **** just to work out more so than anything else.

    Nah I'm still trying to convince the people who organised the fun run for the blind to organise a round robin boxing contest for the blind so I can beat those ****ers up. Once I've taken care of the blind and you've dealt with the kids maybe we can collaborate on a beating of another group.

    they've been talking about this for a while. it's good news. amateur boxing is reasonably safe and great.
