Leonard Ellerbe should be a replacement @ HBO, I could see him being very articulate.

    Good. Went a couple of times. I go once a year during the summer. Didn't go last year though because Floyd's incarceration.

    Seen the man spar twice, not pretty.

    Wow man that's so cool, the gym is pretty open to newcomers too. If you don't live in the area and travel their by plane, then that's some dedication there.

    Are you a boxer yourself or just a fan?

    I get a free business class ticket every year from my aunt who works at Cathay so I go down to Vegas every summer to watch the live shows/just visit/gamble small. Vegas is my favorite vacation spot so I go every year.

    And I'll go visit his gym one day out of my vacation

    I fought 3 am fights, but probably not going to pursue boxing as a career. I realized that it's not worth it for me. I'm not gifted at all (Not a big puncher, reflexes aren't superb and not particularly fast)

    And to be entirely honest, I'm afraid of sustaining permanent injuries. I'm going to further my studies in Sept, I just won't have the time.

    I don't have the mentality for it. It's too stressful.

    Yeah you should always have a good base like education to rely on first then worry about sports later. Maybe you can lace up gloves and give it another go later on in life. If you work hard enough, you can overcome any of your so called limitations. The permanent injuries is a legitimate concern though...
