has anyone got any fights coming up

Little more than a month for me! Question. I've only fought in Milwaukee, Im living in North Carolina now. Will the amateur scene be any different?

 

Probably not.

 

Yesterday he pulled out of the fight. He said it was "too far" to travel.

Anyway, just got a new one. I think he's a bit lighter than me, but who cares...

Will be leaving in an hour. Can't wait!

 

Too far my ass.

Good luck!

 

I just got a date last night. March 14th. Its some statewide tournament in North Carolina that my new trainer wants me to go to. Then she wants to me to do some Azelia festival fight on April 4th.

 

Just got home from the "fight". What a big disappointment. The new guy who stepped in traveled all the way from Gothenburg to Kristiansand. At least 9 hours with car. When I got there I heard he didn't want to fight me after all. He just wanted an exhibition. Then they checked my record book and just shook their heads. No exhibition either. atsch Damn cowards.

Well, at least I got some TV-time and I got the newspaper folks to write in the paper that I badly needed sponsors. :huh

 

Thanks bro. Yea, it'll be two year in March since I had my last fight, and my first in elite, so hopefully I wont choke...

 

Boxing matchmaking was always was a mess for some reason. I just don't get it: coaches ask the record of the boxer upfront, from dealing with the other boxer's coach, so unless his coach lies about the boxer's record, then why bother going all the way to a venue, when you think the guy is too experienced. atsch On the other hand, sometimes coaches do lie about their lad, and expect that if somebody has travelled a long time they'll take a fight anyway. I once had a match agreed at 91-kg, and I was 86kg. I weighed in, and then the opponent came and weighed in at 109kg. My coach didn't want me to give 23kg of weight so he pulled me out, and that guy's coach was furious.

I really miss boxing, but I definitly dont miss all that matchmaking stuff!

 

Yeah, you're absolutely right. It does ruin the sport of boxing.
I think the guy who fixed me the fight must've lied about my record. You can't trust anyone. But when he traveled all that way, we could at least had some sparring.

 

I don't think that's very smart. It's boxing. You could get injured.
